How come u use 10/50w? Now most cars use 40w n some even 30w fr SG use.

 

Heavier oil usually fr old n worn engines only. Use fr a new tight engine n u hv higher fuel consumption n yr engine feel sluggish too.

 

 

Its a forced induction car... i tried 5w30 previously and the mechanic's jaws dropped

Oh OK. Turbo can use 50 or 60 weight even. 30w is way too thin. Yr turbo get so hot it wil fry yr 30w oil in no time.

 

But fr supercharger I dunno if u need such heavy oil? [confused]

Ya Perdana is a super big n comfortable car. Powerful too. In line 6. [thumbsup]

 

Just b careful cos I saw a few in ws having gearbox being repaired.

 

Mech told me the car hv issues with gearbox n engine after some time. Just chk it is in good condition n take care of it. Remember its a Made in Msia car so there might b reliability issues after it gets older.

 

I also like the shape of it. Looks very nice. [thumbsup]

 

Engine oil I am still using C@rlube triple R fully syn. 40weight. It sud b good fr yr car.

yeah, i was attracted to the design and under influence by a bro here who owns a V6 Mercs

damn nice the engine sound..

initially my list was camry 2.2GX, cefiro, e36 and perdana. i guess the rest is out of my budget and league, so i moved on perdana.

 

yeah, perdana is famous for auto gearbox failure but mine is a manual.. so i'm safe.

so far this is what i intend to do

 

Must do

- engine oil, fully syth

- gear oil

- brake oil

- coolant

- power steering

- iridium spark plug x 6

 

prevention

- bendix metal king brake pad

- starter

- APM suspension

- clutch kit

- timing belt

- water pump

- 4 pot disc rotor

 

probably will do full air con servicing as well despite the current is doing well and cold

 

poison

- HKS grounding cable

- gear knob

- manual pedal

- pivot purple voltage stablizer

- boss kit and change of steering, intend to remove air bag

- works air filter or hot bit since K&N kinda expensive.

 

the final stage will be paint work.

 

not touching turbo at this present moment, anything else that i fall short of?

 

Perdana is a V6?????

 

I always tot its a in line 6. [confused]

 

perdana got 2 engine, before year 2000, is SEI.

after year 2000, is eterna 6A12.

which is also galant or FTO.
