Engine Oil level question

[Pisces69]

ok, will do that.

 

don't think our ride got oil indicator, cheap ride

 

 

 

yeah.

 

 

 

still 4k more to go before next servicing.. in fact, servicing just did in april at taman u.

i hardly check.. i trust them.. only these few days, got sound

 

 

I think all cars hv the oil low warning light. A red light with a pic of the oil can. Or maybe the bulb blow or wire loose.

 

I never trust any ws. After service or repairs, I wil chk everything incl other stuff ty not supposed to touch even.

 

Some ws careless or dishonest. Especially ty see SG car ty wil try all sorts of tricks cos ty think all Sporeans r stupid n too rich.

[Pisces69]

we got seatbelt indicator meh??

 

haha, i take a look tonight..

yours is AMT right?

 

i don't think mine got anything leh... or maybe my steering blocks everything..

 

 

Wah u drive yr car so long still u dun seem to know much abt yr car.

 

U know where to chk engine oil or not?

[Pisces69]

Got lah....but the seatbelt is only for driver. If you don't wear the belt, the red light will keep lighting up. If yours still has no seatbelt light then its either malfunction (sensor gone?) or you block it with some girly photos!!!

 

Yup, mine is AMT, but whether AMT or manual, the meter dashboard should be the same, I believe.

 

 

Maybe most of his warning lights on dash blow already. Always on till bulb too hot n blow.

[Pisces69]

bo lah.. in front of my speedo is a buddha statue..

plus i also using small steering wheel, so i hardly can see anything than speed and rpm..

 

ok ok, tonight i try to take a look..

 

really shameful sia, 4 yrs ownership, didnt even know

 

 

U can come in MCF so long n still so gondoo? U better learn abt yr Perdana quick n take care of it cos it a nice car.

 

Or u r one of those drivers wil say petrol gauge E= Enough n F= Finished?

 

Dun make us feel shy hor.

[Pisces69]

Just FYI,

 

Those warning lights, yellow ones = warning.

Those warning lights, red ones = immediate action required.

 

 

I think red or yellow he think ty r there to decorate the dash.

[Pisces69]

this i know.. lately, there was an article that 8 out 10 drivers don't know what does the indicator in their dashboard stand for..

which is true, i'm one of them..

 

 

for me, as long can drive, can wack, can accelerate.. everything is ok

 

 

Then b prepared to spend a bomb on yr cars.

[Pisces69]

Yo Bro tvt,

 

Ya, we got seat belt indicator But mine don't seem to be working...

Total we got 13 indicator But only a few, I seen before...

The rest, I never see them ever light up before.

 

I still got some engine sound.. But after a while, no more... or because I blast my ice?

 

 

Likely the bulbs blow or wire connections loose.

 

Most warning lights wil light up on the first click when u turn key(to let u know they r working) n after engine start, ty sud go off. Seat belt warning wil not go out till driver put on seatbelt. Some hv a chime fr abt 5 seconds after start engine.

 

I always observe if any warning lights come on while I am driving. Also the temp gauge every little while especially during bad traffic jams.

 

Most important is oil low n overheat n battery not charging.

Wow, got 13 indicator lights leh! Not bad for a cheap ride hor... [laugh]

 

I think your seat belt indicator is not working liao....but this light is not so important and urgent to fix. Just ensure you worn seat belt always while on the road.

 

The other lights are more important, in particular EO, battery, temperature and fuel indicator lights which are in yellow. Also the handbrake light in red. They are there to give you advance warning to something that could be wrong or going to spoil. Do ensure you have these lights working.

 

For the engine noise, its better you bring to the WS to check it out, if you are worried. At the same time, change a new set of EO, then monitor the oil level to see if it leaks....

 

 

I think he got 13 lights cos include the turn lights n all the lights on his Ice which is flashing on n off.

Eh handsome, don't like that leh.

 

Kurty is my friend and I am sure he knows his car but just that he did not pay much attention enough.

Wait yr ws give u a long list of things to change.

 

no lah.. they are very trustworthy..

 

they helped me out many times especially when i was driving my malaysian van.. faulty battery, power leakage.. all free of charge..

they like you, only input more poison..

 

now we are exploring engine implant and turbo..

 

but seriously.. the V6 sound.. damn high.. damn smooth..

i just find little underpowered.. i only tried 100km today..

 

Still hv to chk all these things b4 buying.

 

Once u take over just take care n it sud not hv these problems. Oil drop too fast is a mojor problem. Most likely need to overhaul. Unless there is a leak at oil filter or drain plug. Then just make sure its tight or drain plug washer needs to change.

 

yeah, i know how to check.

 

Wah u drive yr car so long still u dun seem to know much abt yr car.

 

U know where to chk engine oil or not?

 

haha, like i said, a car is A to B ...

i know lah.. dont test me

can't get the biting point of the clutch, the merc behind me was horning away..

that's why i always like bro yuan, a pure gentleman

[Kurty]

with regards to the sound of my engine, the front wheel bearing was faulty..

 

a common problem with savvy..

 

cost me rm50 to change, but i'm too occupied and friend too busy..

we all too engrossed into the v6..

[Pisces69]

Eh handsome, don't like that leh.

 

Kurty is my friend and I am sure he knows his car but just that he did not pay much attention enough.

 

 

Ya he is also my fren thats why I ask him to learn quickly how to take good care of his cars.

Especially his Perdana cos I like that car a lot.

U never hear the saying "Nothing is for free"? Hahaha.

 

I never give u poison. I tell u do NOT mod too much cos that car is already good as it is. Dun spoil it.

 

Pls dun try implant different engine or turbo in the Perdana. It is a very powerful car. If u say no power, then something is not right. Or u let me try it out N I see whats wrong. If I can bring it to 200kmh then its the driver not the car hor.

 

The V6 is damm

 

My car also from A to B but still must maintain n take care hor.

You like? Sell his Perdana to you.

 

I quote you brother brother price. Very cheap. USD$200k excluding COE. While stock last.

[Pisces69]

yeah, damn paiseh.. today when going up the slope

 

can't get the biting point of the clutch, the merc behind me was horning away..

 

 

 

that's why i always like bro yuan, a pure gentleman

 

 

U long time never drive manual ah? Or maybe yr clutch already worn out n need to change?

 

Just tak u n the car wil catch n go up. The power is more than enough.

[Yuan]

that's why i always like bro yuan, a pure gentleman

 

Don't say until like that. P69 gets jealous then how?

 

I tell you P69 is a pure gentleman as well. Maybe more pure than me.

 

You must "angkat a bit".

[TVT]

yours different meh?

 

i don't know.. i never notice to be frank..

 

yeah, i always wear seat belt no matter what.. the only time is when my belt spring was faulty..

safety comes first..

 

abit biased.. the focus and attention, will be on other

Seriously I never count how many warning lights there is on the the dash. But I do know there are quite a lot, and I do observe them regularly when driving.

 

I think yours and mine should be the same, not any different at all.
