What's wrong with your car? You haven't done your overhaul yet?

 

[bmw7833]

Just collect the car.

Nothing big deal but mechanic ask for one day to replace the vanos seal. Spend RM2200 in overall bill included the regular service, tie rod, arm bush, steering oil tank, oil separator, few hoses and some wear and tear gaskets.

Labor is definitely cheap.

zun: why did you choose to use 10w60?

Because Jason of Optimum recommended me to use that grade. Herbert also use 10w-60. Saya budak baru belajar, so just follow them la.. :listen: Is there any issue with that oil grade? I'd love to know and learn.
