Change interval of 10w30 in KMs?

[KamranAslam]

• Personal use City drive 5K
• Commercial Uber/Careem/Renta 4K

[mohsin-212]

For Ravi, the recommended engine oil grade is 10w40 the one @xenerking uses in his Dumba

[KamranAslam]

Noted --- at next oil change will pour 10w40

[KamranAslam]

After this topped 3k 13.3ltrs hardly touching 8km/ltr, doubt the idle parking with A.C.

[xenerking]

idling with AC does effect milage but not a huge impact unless u sleep in it

[xenerking]

izzfe crosses 100 km mark while staying well into the top quarter, overall it returns 10.5 to 11 km per liter

[mohsin-212]

Get your car scanned with some better mechanic like ustad irshad etc may be maf sensor gone bad

[KamranAslam]

He did cleaned it thoroughly ---- will be observing it tomorrow morning drive from Korangi to Cutty Phari for Condolence to a relative.

[xenerking]

sir please elaborate the cleaning process, cleaning it from outside is just for inner satisfaction.

being a sensitive electrical component, it requires a NON residue based electrical contact cleaner (many of them specificaly say that).

Petrol, Carb cleaner, diesel, WD 40 (blue) will kill it swiftly.

just spray with elec contact cleaner to wash away the dust etc on the filament and let it dry for few moments before fitting it back making sure the O ring does not have any leaks and the covering inside the filter cover is intact.

later you can confirm its operation by attaching a scanner.

Please explain the function of intake minofold

Sir I am still stuck with the obd scanner. First i got to know that 3zzfee non vvti se saloon is only working with ver 2.0. last night i got to know only 1.5 ver is working with se saloon ?
The reason why i want an obd scanner is, because i am observing some slight changing in car performance. And also feeling like the fuel mileage is dropping. My car's trottle body was dirty from inside. Got it clean mand after that i am feeling my car is getting little slow in pick. with dirty throttle body it was running smoother. Also if the car was staying at 120km/hr with 2600rpm before. Now its staying at 120km/hr with 3000rpm.
Air condition is working fine. When turn on the rpm does not change, but feel a very light jerk sometimes. Wo b agar dehan de. Otherwise all good.
I sometimes tune my car myself but most of time i go to efi car electrician to grt it tuned. I dont trust mechanics to understand efi cars better than a good electrician.

Arent NGK plugs are better than denso ?

[def3nder]

Sir guide me to improve my dumba fuel mileage. I want to check if everything is up to mark. Thanks

[def3nder]

Dude, old cars ask for heavy spending to not leave a peny work on them. And its time and money consuming to keep old cars like new cars. Someone once said its better to adopt a formula for old cars. " Kuch chezein ignore karni parhti hai or kuch chezo pe compromise karna parhta hai". Keeping old cars "puri pari" is a difficult task.

[def3nder]

I hope you didnt forget to lubricant terminals before putting in the battery to avoid carbon deposits around terminals.

[xenerking]

no denso is better for toyota

[def3nder]

I fail to adjust my dumba lights properly. I guess my dumba lights are very down to earth

[xenerking]

elm ver 1.5 works fine z series engine. although u need a code to let torque app identify the engine.

only part getting dirty INSIDE throttle body is the throttle plate, with passage of time the carbon deposits on edges and seals it better if it had a slight leak. Maybe the throttle plate might be little loose in ur TB which was sealed by the deposit which u cleaned of, this might be one reaons of rough or less smoother.

the RPM difference is too much, if its with auto txn, is the TCC locking up?

turning on the AC DOES increase the RPM from 900 to 1000, if there is no impact on RPM then either its not wired up properly or the RPM are already on the higher side.

I think, there is nothing to be tuned in EFI manually, just need to make necessary and timely maintenance, like changing spark plugs or checking if sensors working okay within range or not.

that too happens after certain thousand KMs provided no jugaar done with it.
