@storm
thanks
hopefully there will be some sort of a pakwheels meet when you're in karachi and ALL the karachi members can get into lengthy debates with you

that's if alta doesn't kill me first:P

@ storm

to my knowledge, polyalkyleneglycol is hardly 5% in engine oils. Higher concentrations are harmful to engine.
I know ur comment was sarcastic. But if u seriously think higher concentration of polyalkyleneglycol could be better, then do suggest any oil available in market which has higher concentarion of polyalkyleneglycol. and offcourse more importantly Good for the car engine.

yup, i was being an @ss (sorry about that), honestly if cost is no problem then you should for sure go for mobil 1.

For Petrol and CNG cars what engine oil u prefer using? and after how many kilometers you replace the oil

I use ZicA+ engine oil in my Alto 2009 model car and i drain it after 10Ks

2 quick questions...
1. is it safe to change oil brands...and say from synthetic to mineral based or vice versa??
2. or should the engine just be exposed to one kind/type of oil??

@ kn_khipk

basically one can be converted from low viscosity to high viscosity like if some one is using 5W20 it can be switch over to 10W40 and like wise if some one is using 10W40 can be switch over to 20W50 viscosity grade

But when an engine is used to run on high viscosity grade and one convered to low viscosity grade like if some one is using 20W50 and he converts to 10W40 grade oil then many time oil consumtion issure rise

Secondly the only one brand oil myth is wrong you can convert to other brands only keeping in view the viscosity grades of previous oil
for further qury use oil guide thread which url is bello

1. brands can be changed, viscosities can be changed and you can also change from mineral to synthetic and vice versa at any time.

2. you can change oils at any time but do note that most minerals available in PK do not contain detergents and therefore there will be alot of carbon in your engine. when/if you switch to a oil with detergents in it you'll release all of this carbon and dirt and the oil will get dirty fast. many people think it's the new oil which is failing but infact it is working exactly as it should. what you should then do is change the oil early (around 3000km) and then use the new oil as normal.

sometimes when you switch to a detergent oil you'll find that your car consumes oil because the new oil will clean the areas previously blocked with carbon and dirt,.. this is not the new oils fault but the fault of the old oil which wasn't as good as you may have been lead to believe.

Havoline engine oil , 3500+ maximum for my old mehran

does it matte , i dont drive my car on high rpm ( nor i pull rpm to the gears limits )
Even lesser then Medium RPM ( 3000~3500rpm )

[Saifullah]

Liqui Moli and I change it at 5k km alongwith the Oil Filter

Thank you SKZIC and Storm:
Dear Storm, you mentioned a detergent oil...could you please identify the brand? Also what does "engine has been de-carbonized" mean...my car has a sticker on it placed by Dienfa motors who do the periodic checkups etc on my Honda City '08?
Best k

all synthetics (as far as i know) have detergents in them, and according to what i know (personal experience) the only minerals with cleaning agents are Fuchs Super GT and Petromin Ultra7. I think SKZIC will be able to better tell about their oils too.

as for an engine being "De-carbonized",... i'm lost for words.

agreed

@ geforce

my normal speed is 50km/h ( driving avg. 6000kms done per year )
maximum 60km/h on mehran i dont wanna go high cause i know as i speed up more the RPM have to increase rapidly
REASONS : life time of piston rings , oil have to change rapidly , engine is old , if i make each shift on High rpm engine will no longer , will have to open to put rings and other parts again , already its a mehran

here are real shifting ( i useshort-shifing , AVOIDING knocking/excess vibration for a big margin )
0~10km/h 1st gear
10~25 km/h 2nd gear
20~38 km/h 3rd gear
35~60+ km/h 4th gear
i cross moderate RPM when it reaches after 55km/h

that it for my respected mehran
main roads 50+
normal roads 40+
internal area roads 30+~40km/h

I have checked my car OIL from mechanic
two basic thing ( LACE AND COLOUR ) its perfect , mechanic says it can hit more 1000km
i have driven 3000+km

[geforce]

storm can you help me , and are you agree with the way i drive

[sunnyfunny]
