thats the problem right there....i did the same for my dad, swapped batteries a good few times coz his alternator went and he stalled in a bad area.

as usual i thought was a GDI issue Mr. Green

Guys, i contemplating changing the grade of oil i use, coz i seem to be burning quite often as a result of 'spirited driving' habits.

Currently i use Mobil 10w30 and im not meeting the 5000km change before i have to add another quart in between.

now ive been told that 10w30 is ideal for GDIs by reputable mechs, but obviously i need something better. the car isnt smoking, and i checked the plugs and they're clean and dry.

you guys have anything to suggest?
dont really wanna go on trial and error with this engine

thanks

^^^ on the swift is roughly the same deal i use 5w- 40 . to me the ideal is 10w -40 but you cant get that in trinidad in syn or even blend only mineral oil .. All i can say is take a flush and get a steady supply of 10w 40 mineral and you should be good to go ..will look into it if the gdi can use a mineral oil ...

old engine was around 107000km and i knew the causes for me burning back then.
this new engine is < 60000km and in immaculate condition, which leads me to assume its coz of the driving habits.

remember i treat tiptronic like manual Embarassed

im sure if i left the bloody thing in cvt il meet the 5000km
