Cultus VXR 2000, a gem, a real workhorse

[zank]

i see thanks ... and whts in the owners manual ...

i hope @kamranAslam read that ... or @zank too

3.25 Litres 10W40

[zank]

ZIC Hiflo is 20W50
ZIC A is 10W40 (synthetic formula or semi synthetic)
ZIC A+ (5w** (Synthetic) ...
ZIC XQ is 5w40 (synthetic)

ZIC A+ is 5W20 now. They say its Synthetic also.
Only ZIC XQ is true Synthetic with credible Group IV base oils, rest are ordinary stuffs.

@kamran ... yes elfy thing is good but as its good enough now .. blade stays there as only i know that its broken from inside ... ... i asked the price .. new price of pair is 1,600/-

I will prefer Elfy over spending Rs.1600 Its pretty good in place still, just the movable of the last one is not working.
Thanks for the idea though.

[zank]

^^^ Correct....

Umair: Make it 3.5 or 3.6.... since your driving mostly is from office to Home and the flat Lyari Highway .... for this not a big problem..... so for the moment add .5 Ltrs to it --- or for the next oil change get liters cann, pour .5 ltrs from it rest 3.5 Liters for the upcoming oil change.

Why not using the oil dip stick???
Make sure you check over a slightly warm engine. Over filling will give you problems in seals leak.

@zank .. and what will happen if we use bit less engine oil ... like 3 litrs ...
filling 3 litrs it make is like 1 cm less then second mark

dead ?

Filling less than the second mark in the dip stick will be harmful, especially in case of extreme internal conditions. Correct oil level ensures optimum engine response and working especially at higher revs.
Likewise, over-filling above the first mark on the dip stick leads to greater load on the oil pump and somewhat enhanced power consumption of the engine and will eventually lead to leaking seals also.

so what would be the correct level and correct way to check the oil level i mean the guy who puts oil in my car he never cares about the level he just do it as per his experience , any one please paste some photos to know what is the exact correct level we need to maintain , also do we need to start the car after oil change and than fill the oil again ?

Again I will say that generally Cultus needs approx 3.25 Litres of oil. And best way to monitor correct oil levels is using the engine oil dip stick markings. Oil level should atleast be in the middle of the two marks.

thanks zank
as per my information it should be on or just below te second level of dip stick ..

i am doing it since 2001
2001 - 2006 (cultus 175k kms driven and sold with perfect engine)
2006 - present (cultus almost 54k kms driven .. MASHAALLAH )

and tell u fact that i am using 3.25 litrs .. (oil and oil filter change) so i guess i m OK with it ...

Yes, thats perfectly OK.
lower mark on the dip stick is equally fine, infact better, if the car is warm.
Any position within the marks is fine for the engine, but it should be checked over a warm engine.

Yaar I think I need to visit some very specialized car electrician, and have to do proper wirings and groundings. Somehow I'm feeling that volts are not stable.
Reason for this, burnt head light grips every now and then.

Does anybody know any truly professional sort of electrician that can guide me and analyze the car wirings/electronics. I dont want to put in money over purchasing Voltage Stabilizer without a valid cause...

@zank bhai .. how old is your car is ..

i have seend this happens mostly to the CNG cultus .. however thank to Allah not happen to me yet ..

u need to put some relays then ur things will work fine .. like on head lights/ engine starter and CNG kit ...

do it fast and remember the replacement grips even from the 3S dealers is not of very fine quality however they claims its original ..

get your car checked ASAP ..

My car is 2004 Cultus and runs on CNG. Battery and Generator is good no such issues.
Relays are all over in the place at each and everything possible thanks to old wiring.
Its just recently that I have noticed that headlight grips are melting down like over a month of use. Have replaced like 10 times in last 4 months (both sides) and have tried like every quality/make of grips available in the market. No one seems to lasts for more than a month of use.

visit shafiq mor market or ayesha manzil .. and try to find out used japense grips .. it lasts long ..

Have done that too. Shafiq Mor guys nowadays have usual ordinary stuffs. Currently using grips purchased recently from Shafiq Mor.
The grips are not the problem actually, all those grips that have been melted in my car in a month can easily give 10 months of life on other cars. The problem is somewhere else, and I need to trace that out. Local electricians are not capable to such things. That is why asking for an expert...
I hope you understand what I want to do here...

I'm asking about some expert electronics person, not dumb electricians who are good at joining wires lolz
My current electrician is many times better than the ones 3S Suzuki people have here in khi
