Genie47 1st Gear June 23, 2004 Share June 23, 2004 After changing rims and tires, FC didn't take a hit at all. Still maintaining 12.5-13km/L. Shows that if you size your tires correctly and also if you are more discerning about rim weight, you can still maintain your FC. I guess the 20wt oil didn't improve the FC a bit. Maybe I it is the traffic conditions. But it will be interesting to see how it protects. The positive comments from my wife is that the engine sounded smoother, quieter and more tame. No roughness to it. Or maybe it did because the wheels sized larger. Who knows! But protection is more important which I will find out in 2 months time. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arah Neutral Newbie June 24, 2004 Share June 24, 2004 Or the improvement of FC was offseted by the oil.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear June 24, 2004 Author Share June 24, 2004 That is what I am suggesting. The FC was offset by the lower wt oil but I'm more concerned about the protection the oil can give. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
