@enthusiastic.learner whats the price of dash cover? Whats its use btw?

[abid110]

@enthusiastic.learner kindly comment on the two oils attached... 10/40 fully synth for my Liana and other for my cultus efi...what experience can I get if I shift to same grey dabba for my cultus too?

[abid110]

Also, what's your take for oil for flat tappet engines? I.e they need more zddp in oil or it results in can wear...but if this is the case then most oil mfg companies doesn't make oils below APi SM rating (e.g zic's blue dabba in PIC above) so this way we cannot use any of zic's oil ever in cars like cultus, baleno, alto....

[enthusiastic.learner]

Protects the dashboard from sun so it won't crack. Plus good for keeping things on it. The grey one costed 3.5k. White one is for 1k.

Perhaps engineers want the car to run at 100 km/hr speed for long routes instead of 120 km/hr then i guess

[syedasadali21]

but won't bigger tyres put extra load on engine?

[enthusiastic.learner]

Not really, unless you're going for REALLY big ones which won't fit without a major alteration.

I use 10W30 with Ceratec for my car. Engine runs like a champ! If you want 10W40 then I'd recommend going for Liqui Moly stuff. Much better heat resistance and you can make sure you're buying the original stuff if buying from Liqui Moly dealership.
20W50 is too thick for any efi car that roams Planet Earth. It's only good for 1970—1990 era old single overhead cam engines.

[enthusiastic.learner]

I personally always go for Liqui Moly or Mobil One. Plus, you can't rely on ZIC anymore because more than half of it is recycled oil coming from China that is being repackaged here locally after addition of color dyes.

[syedasadali21]

which size do you recommend?

[syedasadali21]

I have heard that 20W50 is also used for recent engines that have been fucked up. Is that right?

[abid110]

Btw i buy original zic from metro so I have no doubt its 100% original made in Korea stickered.

So, the same grey wala zic will be good for cultus too considering its with flat tappets?

[enthusiastic.learner]

There shouldn't be any problem. By the way, i spotted a replica perfume last month at Metro. So beware.

My car has 185/65/r15 in the front and 195/65/r15 at the back. But I'm upgrading to 195/60/r15 front and 215/60/R15 back in a couple of days.

[abid110]

Replica is not an issue. Big stores usually keep replica items with 20% of the original price and also claims it to be replica

[enthusiastic.learner]

It was among the original items. My family also noticed many fake products there. It's Pakistan.

@enthusiastic.learner
Bro since u sounds most experienced Liana owner here, need a bit of guidance from u.
My car RPM is not stable on cng and petrol. When i turn off the AC its RPM comes to 500 from 1000. Car turns off when Braking in a speed or pressing clutch in low speed . I changed throttle body, scan shows air sensor error so that changed too. What could be the problem.
Thanx advance for ur time.

[syedasadali21]

ok and what about speed-o-meter calibration after going for bigger rims?

[enthusiastic.learner]

Liana sports originally came with 15 inch alloy rims. What rims are there in your car?

[enthusiastic.learner]

First of all, I'm a big foe of cng in this car. This is a high end vehicle and jugaars like cng kits ruin the overall performance + life of engine in the long run. Get rid of the cng kit asap.
Due to cng, car runs hotter, more wear and tear takes place in your combustion chambers as well as the cooling system and at the cost of what? A few hundred rupees less? I mean come on! Really? Also, cng requires air flow restriction due to which car runs worse on petrol as the air is choked causing lower rpm issues and stalling. Get rid of your cng kit and you'll rediscover the true potential of this vehicle, and you'll like it when you drive it.
