New Blm Problem

Rubbish. No such thing. You have been cheated by mechanic or doing the cheating.

Don't said like this lah...for a advance forumer.

For me.(my point of will only lah)
1.Some people would use a semi.he use only 2+++km only.than he want to try a new brand
that he is intrested that would be better.
2.Some people like me,would use a semi up to 7+++km.Than only change.due to me salesmen
change oil every 2-3 month.(with low budget every month)
3.Yes changeing the oli earlier sure would be better.But some people would think,heard,hope,etc....
maybe 2,4,6 years down the road car got problem,some might not.
Some after changing car,Next owner got big problem.Who knows.....
4.For me....Maybe 2-3 years down the road,engine got big problem.But still don't
want to change car.Than u know lah,it's turbo time/bigger cc etc........

what i am saying is different people got different thinking,idea,taste etc...........
Only 1.5 years on my BLM,also finding for info,knowledge on wat type of engine to fit in
already.Maybe one day really spoil,than No choice lah.Sure must change engine right.
hahahahahaha
Me only lah

Its 10k for the sc at least.
I decided to do so as nowadays i travel from 120km to 160km a day.
If there is site visit,it will be more.
So,using mineral or semi oil will makes me visit the sc nearly once a month and i'm trying to save on the labor cost.

Previously i use Petronas semi syn oil starting from 3rd service up till this 30k service.
Change interval is 5k km.

IAFM's teppet-like sound is much more violent than lash adjuster sound.

drex,
I hav never drag my oci,in fact i send it for servicing earlier than usual.
Only uses 20-50w once on 2nd service.
After they change the lash adjuster, should the engine be driven as usual or should i take caution for a certain mileage?

Are you an automotive engineer? Are you an oil company specialist?

If not, I would rather believe what the car manufacturers and oil company said rather than a mechanic. And all the car manufacturer and oil company said "5K for mineral and 10K for Synthetic" is rubbish. Only in Malaysia do you hear such rubbish. Go "google" and you will find what I said is true.

Is Proton sc

2 services all done under Proton sc, i posted the receipt last month... You can check with all other Proton owner if you dun believe

this is the best quote of the day

Bro Tourist, please read this... we all done in Proton SC, using full-synth... and everyone DO.
Since you say Proton SC is cheating us... wah...

Anyway, this is my last service in Proton SC, will change for another workshop.. thanks for bro Tourist for the advice...

ps: My persona just finish 30k service @ Chan Sow Lin Proton SC.

Seems like Proton SCs are superior to all other worlds car manufacturer and oil company. For example, Volvo and Valvoline who all said "5K for Mineral and 10K for Synthetic" total rubbish. No wonder we have "Malaysia Boleh" when we have cheats and idiots like Proton SC for saying otherwise.

Synthetic oils do not allow further extension of oil drain intervals. It is the contamination rate, i.e., soot, and the depletion of additives, rather than base oil quality that determines the useful engine oil life and therefore the oil change intervals.

To offset the higher cost of synthetic oil, some of the oil companies claim you can run the oil longer between changes. They say you do not have to change the oil every 3,000 miles. Valvoline does not make that claim. McClanahan says, "The additives in synthetics are superior but they still break down at the same rate and you need to replenish them often. We are unaware of any additive package that lasts longer than what the manufacturer recommends. Those 10,000-mile claims are ludicrous."

If you read carefully, everybody else in the world except Malaysian SC telling you base oil has nothing to do with OCI. It's is soot and depletion of additives.

I thought i said i'm salesmen.
Ang moh said u read carefully.
I said u don't read carefully.
3.Yes changeing the oli earlier sure would be better.

Maybe oversea car manufacturers,oil company,Volvo and Valvoline said, so that they can earn more money.
Than i would say.They should have made a better oil.
For example
1.just say the semi can last 3k.than i would have to change oil every month.
2.For taxi driver.maybe 2x per month.
3.long distance taxi driver JB-KL.5x per month.

Now we all know they make lousy oil.hahahahah

The noise from IAFM is not tappet noise, it's the loose flaps in the intake manifold.

Tappet noise is caused by slow response of the tappet (hydraulic lifter) to self-adjusting the lash clearance.

Just drive the car like 'how you drive a car', it should be just fine. You only need to worry about it when you are sending the car for a head overhaul. Make sure that the lifters are checked before the mechanic fire-up the engine after the overhaul.
