[reddenger99]

I flush my engine lar... hmm... abit worried ... never encounter problem like this b4...

#crazykid, how much it cost to overhaul? RM1000?

#WAJA2003, i thought of flushing engine coz it is a old car, and i would like to have a cleaner engine with lower idling time :)

 

[reddenger99]

I think the car now ok liao... didn't hear the knock knock loud sound anymore...

where do you flush it, how much?

 

[reddenger99]

I flush it in the workshop around my area, im stay in Sri Muda, shah alam... there got lots of workshop, i just go back the workshop i always go...

they change RM10 for workmanship, i bought all the nessasary stuff, but unfortunately the oil filter cannot use, they sell me the ori Toyota oil filter which cost RM18... i donno expensive anot, i have to change as i don't have other choice

rather than overhaul ,go get a 4age lah ... easier

 

[reddenger99]

i know AGE86 is much much better but then i don't have the budget for it yet... so i will still stick to my humble KE70... :)

Anyway, after flushing the engine run much lighter and smoother...

[huakenny]

but u gotta try ur luck la....if got white smoke...then put one can white smoke treatment la...

 

[Indecided]

the reason why old engines aren't recommended to be flushed is simply because the OLD deposits left there previously may be the ones helping to seal the head gaskets....and various other important parts of the engine internals.

If it's too clean it'll be dislodged and you may be left with a very leaky engine.. best leave it if it's over 150,000km.

if you read at the back of the "ENGINE FLUSH" can...you will suprised......the contains is DIESEL......

 

[gentleman]

It is diesal actually........ one more thing when u flush the engine oil for old car, use higher viciousity engine oil. Example 20/50w or 20/40w. Don't use 5w/50 or 15w/50 because this thin oil can leak into ur piston ring (old engine have wear and tear). That's my research i did on my old saga. If you try to put an oil catch can u will se the diffeence when u r using between 5w/50 and 20w/50. Just service my saga just now and that stupid bloody ah beng put all engine into my engine!!! DAMN IT!!. all 4 liter in my engine, no wonder my car feel sluggish/berat

wat difference tat we can see of 5w/50 n 20w/50????

old engine must not use thin motor oil....better use 20w/50..or sae30

 

[gentleman]

5w oil is thinner than 20w oil.New engine is ok to use this thin oil, but older engine got wear and tear especially at the piston ring. When the piston ring got "bocor" that's where some of the engine oil goes out. Especially when you rev ur engine high. My old saga use 20w/50 Shell helix-Rm48, oil filter(proton)-rm10, ngk spark plug-rm15, engine flush-rm15. Total=RM88

u mean if we hv Oil Catch Tank.....n if we r using 5w/40..d oil wil go to Oil Catch Tank...rite? n wit 20w/50 d oil wont go..am i rite?
