Genie47 1st Gear November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 I think I know why this is so. The filled the oil all the way to the max level! That is why I felt my FC drop when using the 5W20 when it should be giving me better FC. Tien and even Arah complained FC drop with the new oil. The filled it too full. The side effect of too much engine oil is poor FC and loss of power. Ditto when they filled my car with CLTR 5W40. FC drop but returned when the oil thinned. A good level when new oil is put in should be half point between the full and min level but never at full. Why they filled max? I think this is old mechanic mentality. The old guard know that the engine oil will burn off and the level will reduce. This is not so with the new engine oils of today. Syn oil doesn't burn off. The dino oil of today are also very high quality and will be difficult to burn off as well. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yewhiong Neutral Newbie November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 I think so. My FC is quite okie until at my 10km oil change. Then my FC drop to very low at about 9.5km/l. I complained to SA, but they said its my modification that causes the FC low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopikao Neutral Newbie November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 Overfilling will also increase oil pressure right? extensive oil pressure will damage engine? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfinger Neutral Newbie November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 Overfilled = foaming. the oil will splash here and there extensively so Foaming occurs.. Foam is not harmful except that it doesnt help in lubricating the engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
