Stanchiam 1st Gear February 15, 2011 Share February 15, 2011 (edited) What will you do when you reach home after doing a engine oil change and find that the workshop overfill the engine oil? For my case, too lazy to travel back to workshop as it is far. I just DIY a home made pump to pump out the excess oil. Cost me only 50cent for the tube. https://picasaweb.google.com/10143873464241...omeMadePumpDIY# surprised by the look of the oil that was pumped out it is very brown, only used for about 2000km oil used is 10w40 Idemitsu (Touring) fully synthetic engine oil will be using either 5w30 VX super or 5w40 carlub which i have bought for next oil change, will DIY too..lol Edited February 15, 2011 by Stanchiam ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanchiam 1st Gear February 15, 2011 Author Share February 15, 2011 good idea but then won't be able to remove the sludge at the bottom of the oil pan? lol...that was used to pump out extra oil, not going to change engine oil using this method. maybe can change brake oil, coolant etc using this method but engine prefer drain out everything.

Hjteo 1st Gear February 15, 2011 Share February 15, 2011 Stanley, I was just thinking of something on the same line but towards changing engine oil. I use the pump for the brake fluid and steering fluid changes. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendstar Supercharged February 15, 2011 Share February 15, 2011 (edited) how's the reliability of ur chery QQ ? is it manageable? Edited February 15, 2011 by Friendstar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanchiam 1st Gear February 15, 2011 Author Share February 15, 2011 (edited) how's the reliability of ur chery QQ ? is it manageable? yes, very reliable for me, loving it beside the slow pick up. From gear 3 onward it is ok. easy to take care and low cost. Fuel efficiency ok, about 15km average using 10w40. maybe 5w30 better spare part cheap too, have bought some store it somewhere just in case need it, no regrets. after SP, even better btw, mine is 3rd generation, i heard first 2 generation lots of problem.

Stanchiam 1st Gear February 15, 2011 Author Share February 15, 2011 Hi bro. How to know the workshop overfill the engine oil? I tot they are supposed to know the exact amount? they just estimate and pour. you will know when u check your dipstick, if overfill, the oil will be over the max level on the dipstick. I didnt expect them to overfill and didnt check on the spot, when home and find out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
