i have been using only Shell Helix full synth for years and have no complains thus far

[turbo_beast369]

venum yeah I know where u talkin bout...thanks....

EVA Unit-01 your engine still new boi....why u puttin engine restore for? You doh hadda restore nuttin there !! Thas for when yuh engine have excessive wear which would cause loss in power and oil burning due to age and ill-treatment...

once yuh engine performing well and not burning oil then leave it alone...

I bought my car from my dad and he was using Castrol 20w-50 mineral oil...then I switched to Mobil One 5w-50 Full Synth....the level on the diptick dropped a little bit becuz there is an oil leak on my cam and crankshaft seals which I havent changed yet...but other than that, the engine doesnt burn the oil....and my mileage is approaching 125K...water does still be dripping from my exhaust pipe...

[ZeroOne]

EVA Unit-01, There is no Shell Helix full synth 5w-50.

I didnt go with shell because they are in short supply.

Mobil 1 is just as good im sure probably better.

i kno..

not really, just a lil pricey. FT Farfan is d new distributors, but i get it aroun $75 a quart all ova...

Mobil 1 is just as good im sure probably better.

it haz Detergents?!? i wuz checkin it in Marud's d odda day, it doesn't really say anyting odda dan "We Oil Badda!"... no real specs or nuttin, so dere's nuttin 2 really compare

i had found a site that had some data for every oil & body, can't rem wher, but d Helix wuz jus a tad lower dan d Mobil. chose d Helix as its recommended for d Lancers....



turbo i went in dis parts place in Preysal & wuz axin d man 4 d Helix, & he starta tell me bout how d body thin & i shud go lil higha in body. i tell him d car new, he watch mih & say "Nah, it don hav 50,000km on it. it eh new no more!" He kinda kno he stuff, so dat get mih kinda scared & ha mih tinkin...

[ZeroOne]

Anyhow you take it 5w-50>15w-50

[turbo_beast369]

he starta tell me bout how d body thin & i shud go lil higha in body. i tell him d car new, he watch mih & say "Nah, it don hav 50,000km on it. it eh new no more!" He kinda kno he stuff

he is an arse...he 4get is a mitsubishi engine we takin bout or wha....I have mitsubishi trucks with alll kinda 700K - 800K on dem engines and they still pullin strong (despite they use str8 50 body oil with is a must)

Yes anyone would agree its not a new engine BUT an engine with that mileage with proper maintenance aint start to wuk yet...my engine has 125K on it and ppl bawl when they drive in d car...it does work like new still (and I repeat, water does still come out my exhaust)....so doh let anybody give yuh any BS when yuh buyin oil...just tell dem what yuh want...if they say that 2 thin, jus say THAS WHAT I WANT!!! Or just use your own discretion otherwise...

If you was doing something like 200K + then it really get some wuk...

it haz Detergents?!? i wuz checkin it in Marud's d odda day, it doesn't really say anyting odda dan "We Oil Badda!"... no real specs or nuttin, so dere's nuttin 2 really compare

"Synthetic motor oils are engineered with special additives that help to fight off sludge and mineral deposits that are naturally caused in combustion. Performance additives in synthetic motor oil provide superior protection in extreme driving conditions like extremely cold or hot temperatures."

If we were in 2001 i would of leaned towards shell, I just have a tingling that Mobile 1 is like what the CY is to the CS

Both are good either way.

quick question for you guys; what is the rim width of the original 2004/05 CS3 14'' Rims from the local dealership? Is it 5'',5.5'' or 6''?

Thinking of putting on 195/60/14 versus stock 185/65/14 and wanted to make sure it could work. Would 205 width tires work as well?

ZeroOne. any update on your lites order?

[genghis]

Ramai's is $60 for the oil filter

ah passed by today and i was told is $115

how long ago was that price?

[turbo_beast369]

noshownogo my local '02 - '03 CS3 14" rim is 5.5" wide and I usin 205/60 tyres...you can also fit 215 but the profile would look slightly higher and it would bulge out more...but its possible....

I don't know bout the width of the '04 - '05 14" rim...not sure if its d same as mine.....

[noshownogo]

thanks turbo_beast369, thought allyuh ignoring meh post those shiny multispoke rims were the same in the '03/04 models so yeh, you answered my question.

Thanks, getting new rubber for the better half car, Mileage Mack has Toyo Proxes TPT 195/60/14 for $400+Vat before install.

[rick8930]

When doing the cradle arm bushings check your stabilizer bar bushings and link kit with inner and outer tie rods one time..
look back jush4sho did it in one shot ..
inner tie rod 4422A056
outer tie rod Mr476457
link kit Mr954887
stabilizer bar bushings MR519880
You car will feel like new
Cost though is bit like a firetruck but what you will do

[turbo_beast369]

rick8930 just a note...not all the CS lancers carry the same size front stabilizer bar, there are about 3 sizes

MR403645 is for the 22mm sta bar (used in the local CS3)

MR491192 is for the 24 mm sta bar (used in the CS5)

MR519880 is for the 25 mm sta bar (not exactly sure which model this for)

you hadda measure the bar b4 u buy the bushings eh....the link kit will work on all models....
