Re: Modern engin oil
Dis n bog storie Fanus, HX7 is reeds n mengsel van mineraal olie en sintetiese olie. Jy sal sien op die kan staan "semi cynthetic"

het gedink hx7 is vol sinteties. Maar ek sien dis semi sinteties: http://www.shell.co.za/motorists/oils-l ... 0w-40.html
Maar indien mens vol sinteties gebruik, kan mens dan oor slaan na multigrade? Of is dit nonsens?
Ek sien 20w50 multigrade is heelwat goedkoper as 10w40...

But the last time I serviced, the only Helix my local spares shop had was the Diesel version. I took it anyway, as I thought that a bit of extra cleaning couldn't do any harm (my understanding is that the difference between the Diesel oils and the Petrol oils is a bit of extra detergents in the Diesel oils).

Re: Modern engin oil
Tinus, I ended up pulling the sump and strainer, but surprisingly not the slightest bit of sludge. I gooi'd a new gasket and filled up with Motul. I have since figured out there is a loose or dry joint on the dash. When the oil pressure light starts buzzing, I give the dash a slap and it stops.

I have bought Shell HX5 SN/CF 15W40 today for the Patrol, as the Midas I was at didn't have any Motul 4000 in stock. I'm going back to the mineral oil as I last put Castrol Edge in it, and it smokes a bit on start up (sometimes). I'm hoping this one clears up that issue:

UPDATE: The Shell definitely helps, as the car didn't have a single puff of smoke on start up the whole weekend. Runs as smooth as Zuma at the moment.
