Repack Wheel Bearing With New Grease

Calvin Ong — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:32:14 +0800

Hi all,

I own a Isuzu D-Max 3.0. From the owner manual,

[attachmentid=3543554]
[attachmentid=3543557]
[attachmentid=3543558]

1) The front bearing is to be repacked with new grease at the interval of every 30000km.
2) The propeller shaft universal joints and sliding sleeve is to be lubricated with MoS2 type grease every 10000km.

My mileage is about 53000km now, and service center never do the bearing repack and lubricate the propeller shaft universal joints & sliding sleeve.

Is it a need to repack the wheel bearing with new grease as per owner manual, or just use until the bearing damage only change it?

How about the propeller shaft universal joints & sliding sleeve? Is it a need to lubricate them?

Calvin Ong — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 16:59:17 +0800

Dear All,

I am driving Isuzu D-Max 3.0. At the service centre, there are 2 type of diesel engine oils available for 5000km of service interval.

1) Shell Helix HX7 Diesel, 10W40, Semi Synthetic, API CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4,

Price：RM 110 / 4 liter

2) Caltex Delo 400, 15W40, Mineral, API CI-4 Plus, ACEA E7, Jaso DH-1

Price：RM 96 / 5 liter

May I know which one is better for my car? Currently I am using the expensive HX-7 Diesel, but it only achieved API CF standard . The cheaper Caltex Delo 400 is API CI-4 Plus.

Questions about Allianz PowerLink Policy

Calvin Ong — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:28:10 +0800

Any Allianz agent here?

I had a question regarding a rider in the Allainz Powerlink. I saw there is a rider named as Payor Cover. Under the rider,

• Upon diagnosis of any of the specified 36 critical
illnesses, Allianz Life Malaysia will pay an amount
equivalent to the premium amount of Your
PowerLink Policy.

• The payment of the premium will be allocated
towards the purchase of units for the investmentlinked
account of Your Policy.

Is it mean that the Payor Cover rider only waive your premium when the policy holder is diagnosis with 36 CI, but it won't waive your premium in the case of TPD (Total&Permanent Disability)? Normally waiver of premium is for both TPD and 36CI is it?

There is another term in the rider:

An Extended Total and Permanent Disability (ETPD)
Rider is attachable to PayorCover by default at no extra
premium charges to You.
The Extended TPD Rider covers:
1. Blindness / Total Loss of Sight
2. Loss of Independence Existence

Can I know what is the meaning? Is it mean that the ETPD will pay out sum insured in case of Blindness/Loss of Independence Existence? Or the ETPD is to waive your premium in case of Blindness/Loss of Independence Existence?

Thank you

Dear All,

For a job which is subject to commission only, certain percent of the sales figure. (no basic salary, no bonus), does the employer need to deduct for KWSP? and how about the company, shall the company pay the KWSP for the staff?

For another case, if the staff is receive basic salary + commission, will the company need to pay the KWSP for the commission?

Thank you.
