kareraa Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 it is advisable to change at 5000 km with a max limit of 7500 km and never use a low quality filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humsafar Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 It is supposed to be changed at 10,00kms, but it would be better to change it between 7000 to 8000 kms, this is what I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sihan Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Why would you change oil at 7000 when oil manufacturer recommends at 10k, just curious. What benefit does that get? What i know, is that these oil manufacturer always quote conservative figure and even if we stretch 10k - 12k it shouldn't be a problem.....!

humsafar Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Because of the heat here in Uae. The oil lost its viscosity quickly. And get contaminated more. Hoever if unfeel that oil still has its lubrication and the colour' u can use it uptil 10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one more reason for the oftenly change enine oil is cleaning properties for better engine work. 7-8 thousand km is ok for UAE. What is the mileage of your car?

sihan Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I dont think heat has any co relation, as anyways heat inside the engine is lot higher than africa, uae or antartica......! Older engine logic i can accept it. Its better to change slightly early in hi run motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humsafar Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 104000 km only? May be you mean miles?! Nop. Its kms. But unfortunately for last two weeks its lying ingarage. Some hit me on front just after ten days of buying this one. And the garage guy is not able to get the parts, or may be the cheapest parts in order not to shrink his profit. Suffering alot without car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
