Alfa 159 Part V (Any Alfa discussion also welcomed)

[Theredstar]

Millers. 50WT

 

Theredstar, just to be absolutely clear, I don't know exactly if it is 1 or 2 km away, I do know that I take the last stretch home, rather easy. I don't always push the car so very hard that its at 100 all the time, nor is it exactly 80 when I reach home. its a variance, and a general guideline, not absolute figures.

 

And it does get up to temp and come down quicker than most other oils I've used. for a 50wt, I personally feel it is faster than before, gauging by usual check points when i look at the meter. certain junctions, certain turning points, and i glance at the oil temp, its already up, or already down. so i hope you don't take it as absolute.

 

my present car is not a 159, so the cooling system and other things are not the same as yours. it would react differently.

 

If yours is 2nd hand, best to get it checked out, serviced, oil changed... etc and then monitor from there, compared with the old fluids in the system.

 

icic

my oil needle only go up

nv down

unless overnight. lol

 

so very curious that urs will drop so rapidly

Simple explanation:

If a thread is kept too long, it will slow things down.

So this is house keeping.

Don't do it daily. It kills your clutch prematurely.

You still drive the spider? I have seen a red spider lately along ulu panda and bona vista. Wonder if that's you.

Hi all, I asked one ebay seller to come up with some Alfa Romeo decal designs.

If u are interested, u can contact her at [email protected]

Price is $15 for double coupon and $10 for single coupon, both double sided printing.

 

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/RSD-Car-Decal-R...=item1e73c8c94c

abv is one of her decal on sale at ebay. She doesnt have any alfa romeo designs for sale and the designs attached are designed by her upon my request.

 

I have ordered mine. she say it will be cheaper if qty is more. but i tink it will be easier to contact her on ur own so she can mail directly to u.

 

PS: I am not related to her in any way just to share...

1) check if the ball joint is healthy.

 

if healthy,

 

2) Change bushings.

 

if not healthy,

 

3) Change lower arms + aftermarket bushings...
