tunning is only required if the fuel consumption gets high. engine oil change is recommended at 5000 kms and oil & air filter change at every 10000 kms.

Select oil grade wisely as per OEM recommendations. only buy Shell Helix, & Aisin from reputed station / oil shops.

What about Guard Oil? Is it okay or not?

capsat (ومن شر حاسد إذا حسد) 2017-06-06 12:07:20 +0500 #5

Shell Helix or Aisin only -

rest are all high risk brands

Is ZIC also high risk? If so then what is the reason?

abid110 2017-06-06 14:47:17 +0500 #8

Why just helix and aisin?

capsat (ومن شر حاسد إذا حسد) 2017-06-06 23:54:30 +0500 #9

both brands are tested across the board in old school & new efi cars for over 100,000 kms collectively and users are not disappointed to date. Alhamdo Lillah

I'd second @capsat.
ZIC and Liqui Moli are good choices too, but frankly our market has numerous counterfeit substandard oils which charge you as high as the original thing. Shell Helix maintains a reliable distribution network and active market survelliance. For the rest of the brands, you're usually at the mercy/reputation of the selling retailer

in karachi, which pump do you think is selling 10/10 Helix oil (no fake/repacked)?

Well i also own a khyber and my mechanic told me to change enging oil after every 3000km..i have been changing it after every 3k km,,,,but this time i didn't change it sinc 4k kms...
so whats the best oil change mileage ??? 5000km ??
and i am using shell HX3.. 20W-50 oil....

capsat (ومن شر حاسد إذا حسد) 2017-07-14 18:56:58 +0500 #14

5000 is best bet with new lubricant blending technologies. make sure to change oil filter at every alternate OIL changes

alishankhann (alishankhann) 2017-07-14 20:13:46 +0500 #15

Shell 20W-50 is good one ? and now its running 4000km and dip stick is showing half or little more than half...is it ok ?

capsat (ومن شر حاسد إذا حسد) 2017-07-15 12:03:57 +0500 #16

compression test can ascertain why there is oil consumption. valve seals leaking or rings are dying.
or any oil leaking spots at parking place means engine oil seal leakage.

I did complete engine overhaul just one year back

capsat (ومن شر حاسد إذا حسد) 2017-07-15 12:08:31 +0500 #18

at next oil change change filter & change Oil - to Shell Helix HX-3 and observe

alishankhann (alishankhann) 2017-07-15 13:57:09 +0500 #19

I change fikter everytime while changing oil...and i am using shell HX 3 with vescosity 20W-50

I have read an article once on PW about dip stick...it has two holes..in that article it stated that between the bottom hole and middle hole is normal range...when it drops below the middle hole then engine needs some work...may be thats true ?
