Oil Change
I add 500ml of oil every 1000 to 1500 km to my wife's Toyota Avanza. Do you guys think I must drain the oil with a service or is the regular addition enough to keep the oil "fresh"? The oil on the dipstick is nearly transparent.

Re: Oil Change
Vra mens vir die Stealers, sal hulle seker sê dis volgens spesifikasie. Ek het vir Mercedes gewerk en ek dink hulle spec was omtrent 500ml/1000km. Belaglik!!

Re: Oil Change
The oil consumption is a little high but not wild or too excessive. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but it is necessary to replace the old oil ..... otherwise you will have a build-up of impurities / contaminants, carbon and acidity. You could perhaps get away with a slightly longer service interval on the oil, but don't leave it indefinitely.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Re: Oil Change
Daai olie verbruik is gans te hoog vir 'n petrol. 'n Vriend wat ook 'n Avanza het gebruik niks olie tussen sy 15 000km dienste nie.louis fourie wrote:PetrolJEEPIE wrote:is it petrol or diesel ?

Re: Oil Change
Jy moet die olie en filter elke diens interval vervang. Wat se olie het jy voorheen gebruik. Ek het al gevind dat sekere (goedkoop) olies wel wegbrand. As die kar nie rook en probleme veroorsaak nie sal ek nie daaroor bekommer nie. Geen twee karre is identies nie en sommige gebruik meer olie as ander.
Is daar taai swart aanpaksel in die uitlaatpyp?
