Ken4555 1st Gear October 29, 2010 Share October 29, 2010 to all sunny N16 owners who think that your FC is high... forget about expensive oils... forget about fuel saving gadgets... forget about additives... forget about light/heavy footed.... forget about dirty air filters... expensive or copper plugs... auto or manual... amt of load stuff in car... 92 or 95 or 98... alway 4pax in car or highway driving or city driving or watever... the fact is that Sunny is 1.6 DOHC so FC will be will not be as good as cars like Lancer Glxi (SOHC)... Vios (1.5 and so much lighter)... etc... and most ppl think that Sunny jiak you... especially ah laus... let me ask the sunny owners here, young and old... do you know how much Engine oil your sunny needs? i have asked numerous Mechs in Singapore workshops... all i spoke to dont believe Sunny N16 needs 2.5liters of engine oil... max 2.7liters with oil filter... most engine oil bottles come in 4liters... oil service packages come in 4 liters bottles mostly... and most mechanics here in Sg just pour in whatever amount and they estimate and then check with the dip stick... yes there are workshops who measure according to manual but rarely in a regular ws... all sunny owners before you spend $$$ on that snake oil.... before you spend $$$ on that 'most probably wont work' fuel saving gadget.... before you spend any $$$ you think you will waste... put in the correct amount of Engine oil into your sunny N16 and feel the difference in FC... imagine an Engine that needs 2.5-2.7liters of oil, and in goes 3.5liters or more of engine oil... imagine you running in a kids pool, then running in an adult's pool... feel the difference? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken4555 1st Gear October 29, 2010 Author Share October 29, 2010 (edited) so whats ur fc like? i dont have a scangauge... sunnys/sentras here dont have FC gauge... my driving style is heavy footed most of the time... occassionally i drive gently... my full tank is 95ron always...pump until no more backflow... my light will come on after 400km for sure... sometimes early 400s... sometimes 450 up... after light comes one still can go anothe 30-50 km... i ocassionally hit 500km if not so heavy footed on that tank... the difference from my sunny (manual) and a stock is... *i have no spare tyre n jack... *open pod stainless steel... *my wheel size is bigger than stock... *iridum plugs... (expensive EO until lately kanna the cheap EO supermarket frenzy ) *straight through exhaust... (need to get a quieter tail muffler looking around in JB) *air-con off on cool mornings (but lately warm whole day)... *i add 2-T approx. 40ml to 40liters... (now using an ashless TC-W3 or smthing... but not fully Syn.. and i feel that a racing fully Syn 2T is better smoother) Edited October 29, 2010 by Ken4555 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic October 29, 2010 Share October 29, 2010 Yep, please do not overfill engine oil. Actually 2.5L with change of oil filter is also enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have N16. Yes, you only need 3 bottles of engine oil when you change the oil filter. Mine was MT, the FC is around 10-11 km per liter. My driving style is normal, as in not trying to be extreme light nor heavy foot... I had 16" rims with 205/55 tires, Nissmo full body kit... and that's all.

Ken4555 1st Gear October 29, 2010 Author Share October 29, 2010 (edited) 10-12.5liter per 100km lah... wah lau see my mileage can tell liao mah... sunny when light on and drive abit, can pump in 40liters if to brim... but heavyfooted on an auto sunny N16 8L/100km is often heard.... probably due to poor condition...
