fellas i like what i seeing wrt the oil grades

also consider too that teh type of oil, i.e. mineral, sem-synthetic, full synthetic has some effect on teh engine

teh earlier mitsu engines suffered badly from a disease known as tappet knock when mineral oil was used esp in teh 4G15 DOHC efi, the GDI engines, 4G92\93 EFI and a couple others

there is a whole thread in here about that somewhere

i believe that mitsu has corrected this problem\developed an immunity cuz i do not know of any of teh newer engines that still suffer from it

Blondie doing 110,000km + and she purs like a persian kitty

but she has been running 5W 50 full synth Mobil 1 from 22,000km

actually i thinking about changing to full synthetic too thats the one that you change every 10,000 km right?

but if you have to change oil filter every 5000 km then it doesent make sense.

BTW castrol HD 15w 40 falls under what class?

Ok so all the talk about the perfect combination of oil type and oil grade, I was wondering if anyone ever heard of or tried Zmax additive to their oil and or gas...

dont know bout the ZMax but many of us used Engine Restore in the tin.
I tried it once and it was ok, was jus to use until the oil change.

ZeroOne, all CS lancers and forward supposed to be running on Fully Synthetic Oil...unless u doing sumtin like over 200,000km

GDI in particular is a must due to high compression

hmmm i dont think im using fully synthetic oil. at least the bottle doesent say so. Its the castrol Hd 15w 40 costs 125.00.

idlemind · Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2009 8:56 pm Post subject:

its probably semi-synthetic which is good as well.
try the full and see.
how much km's on the ride?

ZeroOne · Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2009 9:07 pm Post subject:

it just approaching 118,500

I was actually think of using zman and also emailed the company to be the trinidad distrubitor but when I did some online research there were alot of complaints about the product on diffrent online forums also there were a lot of law suits filed by persons who used the product and f"ed the engine

there are also a couple of threads in the tech forum about it

well that's an eye opener Shocked

...hmmm! well i'll check out the tech forum and see whats the scene...but i guess it designed for a certain class or high performance engines..maybe! Confused

oh and where i can get a good barrel...lookin for sumtin carbon fiber with chrome tip..about 2 inches..

well a lil guinea pig update: been usin super plus jectron in the ride and all seems well for the past month now. (the ride is a DM - CS3A 1.6L SOHC 4G18)

orrr so thats the difference between the fram oil filter and the K&N. ill switch to full synth next oil change, the thing is that i dont think the previous owner used full synth.

BTW DM have the mounts cheaper than Federal as for the shocks you dont wanna know the price.
