i want to save money and purchase my own oil and oil filter. been browsing through the forum and found so many different types of engine oils being used.

0w-30
5w-30
10w-40
15w-50

which one do i get.. i live in sydney cbd... dont drive much... car has done 26400km.

oil filter

ryco z411 $10
valvoline z411 $10.95

which one is better.

lastly will my Injen CAI be an issue when my car is getting serviced.. does that void warranty..

thank you to the people who reply... in advance..

ohh yeah and which brand engine oil also.. as there are so many brands.. i just want to save as much cash as possible.. cheers

The injen wont void your warranty unless it is the direct result of the part failing. So if you fry the piston rings on your car and mitsubishi can prove it was the CAI, your not covered. You just lose the warranty on that specific part, and with the CAI, it would be the intake warranty.

What i did when i went in for a service, I had a RRM SRI, I just took it off before i got there just to save any trouble later on down the track. Taking an SRI off is a little easier than taking a CAI but might save you some trouble later on down the track if theres any issues.

I'm afraid I wouldn't know which are the best of those products to use although they should be fairly similar, but my car has 28,800 km on the clock so let me know how the service goes, I'll be booking mine in soonish

Serviced car today.. all went well..

$189.15 for my service as i provided my own oil filter and engine oil..

need to replace my tires.. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ehehe

which oil filter and engine oil did u end up using?
they wanted to void my warranty for not using a genuine oil filter before..

damn $189 and you supplied your own filter and oil! =\

yeah i was thinking the same...

i use 10W-40 and they're about $50 a pop, on top of that the oil filter is about $12...$190+$50+12 isnt cheaper than $230!

shell helix 10w-40 $30
ryco z411 oil filter $10

$43
$189

= $230

hahaha same price..

i tried what the other guy in this forum did.. he saved $55 but unfortunately i didn't grrrr

hehe but who cares im happy... still.. better then payin over $300 hahaha like some people here did..

now gotta get tires

need to replace both front and rear left...

any options guys you can suggest for tires...

tight on budget grrr

pure BS. Warranty only void if it does damage as a direct result of dodgy oil filter-3rd party oil filters are as good as geniune mitsu and it has it's own warranty which covers damage caused by oil filter. I am using ryco oil filter and it's as reliable as ever.

Don't let deAlers tell you what to do. Plenty of guys here can give yiu maintainence advice.

For your tyres, you should give Taleb a ring and they can hook up up.

Perhaps you should get all 4...

I agree. Change to a more common size and get 4 tyres.

The yoko A10s are pretty rubbish!!
