Recommend Halogen Headlight

SilentForever — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 02:47:43 +0800

Which halogen headlight is best? Using original reflector so no point going hid or led plus get into trouble with authorities. Main ones I see are Philips, Osram and Piaa. Would appreciate some inputs on which one to pick. Correct if I am wrong but to my understanding 3200k-4000k is optimal for driving in bad weather for halogen and any higher is purely asthetic with lower light output. Thanks!

Mileage and Time for Maintainence

SilentForever — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 21:24:54 +0800

Car manufactures always specify a mileage or time interval in their service schedule. One example is Toyota ATF specifies every 40k km/2 years. So lets just say a car is being driven but low mileage annually, if reach 2 year mark only 25k km travel. Still need to change at the time interval or bs for well being of car (post warranty) Thanks!

Bosch C7 Charger

SilentForever — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 23:57:17 +0800

I have a Bosch C7 and I was wondering how long can I leave it on trickle charge without damaging the battery? To my knowledge is that trickle charger always emits a low charge even when full charge while float charger will go into standby and charges once the charge drops. I read the manual but it did not specifically state about this. Owners please give advise. Thanks!

Can/Should I use a heavier weight/thicker oil

SilentForever — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 13:11:42 +0800

I have a Toyota Hilux with around 216000km on the odo and since day one I have been using 10w-30 conventional oil. Is it wise to switch to 15w-40 for better protection at operating temp since it can get around 90-95 celcius during heavier loads. (I have an oil temp gauge) I am not switching to synthetic as I have seen cases of higher mileage cars switching to synthetic after years of conventional starts to leak or burn oil plus the cost factor. Owner manual suggest 5w-30, 10w-30, 15w-40, 20w-50. I know toyota uses 5w-40 full synthetic for their diesel hence the reason of contemplating this change. Thoughts?
