1. Oil light came on. Check engine oil level and the engine oil level is OK. So not due to oil running low.

2, Oil light came on and persist. So took car to a workshop in Ubi for repair.

3. Mechanic jacked up car ....found oil sump leaking....gasket failed. So need to remove oil sump for new gasket and sealant. And need to change oil pressure switch. So left car at the workshop for repair, includes Engine Oil change service and to collect in the evening.

 

Boss of workshop sms later:

 

Hi Sir, tis is from the Workshop. Our man is checking through the car during servicing n find your clutch wearing out soon. Based on the wear rate, the vehicle milage should be approximately 140-150K. THe clutch pedal is giving quite a bit of squeaking sound as a result. Would U like to replace it? Thks.

 

Is it possible to see the clutch disc or plate worn out through the oil sump removal and through the Flywheel?

They can tell how worn the clutch is by how high your clutch bite is. IE if your clutch bites only when the pedal is almost fully released.

Based on your description, I thought low oil pressure visual alarm likely activated due to oil filter partially blocked/choked? Replacing the engine oil filter and replenishing the engine oil will solve it.

 

Create more business (high COE means more people stretched servicing intervals, so less business).

engine oil sump and transmission clutch disc are 2 separate assemblies.

 

Not possible to see clutch disc from sump.

 

clutch feel by "biting point" or slippage as mentioned by others here

 

Better solve your oil pressure problem first.

 

So it will not complicate the repair.

 

Deal with the other reported problem later.

 

it could be WS attempt to get more jobs.

Clutch wear can tell by driving and clutch engagement.

However not related to oil leak.
