Thought PMS is every 10,000 kms or 12 months? ...

I think that’s VW?

The VW diesels are 15k km or 12 months whichever comes first. I think the new VW gas cars are those that follow that.

If within warranty, it is every 10k KM or 6 months. After warranty, you can do it every 10k KM.

What interval do you follow bro?

Do you base it on time or distance or when you just feel like it?

I do it every 5k kms regardless of the time factor. Or 1 year regardless of the distance factor.

And of course, synthetic. Either rotella or red line.

I’m still within warranty and I follow the 6-month PMS cycle. In those 6 months, it’s between 6k to 7k km.

My other car which is out of warranty, I change oil every 12 months which covers around 10k km.

Both my cars require fully synthetic, low viscosity engine oils.

I see. Thanks a lot bro!

Also, the old EJ seems to run better smoother and quieter on 10W-40 oils.

The FA20DIT requires FS 5w30 API SN-RC (ILSAC GF5) with 5w40 as an alternative viscosity. The FB20 (non turbo Foresters and XV) requires FS 0w20 with 5w30 as the alternative.

question regarding our FXT, if from a long drive around 200 km (3 hours, tplex-sctex- nlex- edsa) can we immediately turn off the engine once we arrived at our destination after engaging into park mode? or do we need to cool down first the engine for a few minutes( idling) ?

After a long drive or a blast through the highway, you can run the car gently the last 10-15 min before you reach your destination. This will help cool down your turbo and you can safely turn off the engine upon arrival.

Let it idle for a few minutes to cool the turbo. Assuming you have the current gen FXT, it comes with a turbo gauge. At idle, boost pressure should be -0.70 to -0.74 bar. After a long drive, let the engine idle until it reaches that stable idle boost pressure.
