perodua semi synthetic engine oil 5w 30

With complete service packages offered when you buy a new car, you rarely need to make a choice when it comes to engine oils. Buy a brand-new Perodua Axia and Perodua will make sure the car uses the brand’s namesake oil during the warranty period. The same goes for other brands which may officially use Petronas or Shell lubricants at their service centres. Even when you go to your local workshop, they are usually already official distributors of certain engine oil brands. Deciding on what engine

Besides the viscosity rating of engine oil, we also have the choice of what type of oil we’d like to use in our car – mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully-synthetic oil. While most of us would agree that fully synthetic engine oils are the better choice, some older cars show problems when fully-synthetic engine oil is used. We’ve talked about their differences before, and the main advantages of fully-synthetic oil would be the more consistent molecule size and the longer service interval.

The most “car maintenance” some us have done ourselves have probably been checking the engine oil dipstick, ATF dipstick, or at the very least, refilling the wiper fluid. Popping the hood is an unusual activity these days and is usually a sign of a broken car. Good regular maintenance can extend the service life of your car, and there are many aspects of car maintenance that we can talk about. To keep things short, we’ll be focusing on engine oil changes.

Many people have different theories as to when they should service their cars. Some swears by the owner’s manual, others follow their gut feel. The latter, which we strongly advise against. First, let’s break down the science. A ‘regular service’ includes an engine oil change along with an inspection of all relevant components. There are many factors that affect the interval, or frequency, of your oil change process. Traditionally, it is recommended to change your oil every 5,000 km when using m

在买新车时，商家通常都会为你提供全套的保养套餐，所以你几乎不用为使用哪种引擎润滑油做选择。购买一辆全新的Perodua Axia，Perodua就会确保车子在保固期内都使用品牌认证的润滑油。对于其它品牌的车子也是一样，他们的服务中心通常都会采用Petronas或Shell的润滑油。 就算你去当地的修车店，他们通常也都是某个引擎润滑油品牌的官方经销商。需要去考虑车子该使用哪种引擎润滑油的，通常都是那些车子已经过了保固期的车主、二手车车主，或者是那些更关心车子的人。 Q：那么，你要如何选择正确的引擎润滑油呢？ A：这个问题很简单，参考车子的说明书，并购买正品润滑油就可以了，网路上总能找到免费的PDF文件的。 除非你的车跟Mazda RX-8一样搭载了一具新潮的引擎，通常情况下，依照用户说明书来选择引擎润滑油的等级就够了。接下来谈到的，都是对这个话题的进一步阐述而已。 Q：10W-40、10W-30和5W-40都是什么？ A：在我们说“W”之前，先来谈谈这些数字吧，它们代表着润滑油的粘度。数字越大，引擎润滑油的粘度也就越高。如果你还不知道粘度是什么，那么简单的说，油漆的粘度就要比水的大。 #

Thanks to modern day sound insulation, you don’t realise how hot and bothered things are under the hood. Holding the engine in place and absorbing most of the engine's vibration are engine mounts. They take a lot of punishment. Although generally low-maintenance, engine mounts may wear out sooner than you think. Here we will discuss the symptoms of bad engine mounts in your car.

In 2018, it was estimated by BP that global oil reserves were at 1.73 trillion barrels – enough to last the world about 50 years at current production and consumption rate. Does that mean earth runs dry by 2070 then? Well, not quite. You see, it makes more economic sense that when oil supply starts to diminish, prices go up and when that happens, people are expected to buy less of it. Eventually prices will be sky-high it becomes a niche product purchased by very few while others will have found
