I am typing
this at Comfort Delgro servicing centre. Sitting and
waiting in a comfortable lounge, there's internet
service here. There's WiFi but can't seem to log
in.Jeremy from confort delgro is efficient, friendly,
gives advice, looks into your needs and everything
else that makes his service a top notch excellent
one. He updates me whenever there's issues crop up
during the servicing.
Hmm, so far the squeaking sound he said is due to the seat belt. Well I'l be... I was sure its something to do with the chassis. He said once the seat belt at the right passenger side was buckled, the noise totally disappeared. Well that's a relief.
Kind of, until I get back into the car and drive off somewhat later on.So far so good.Jeremy told me some issues regarding the engine oil grade I intend to use. I brought my own oil you see. And he said that 5W30 is thinner than 5W40. In city driving the engine will make a lot of sound due to friction. But highway driving and long distance without stopping, this grade of oil beats the rest.Will there be any long term damage?
Hmm...not really. Well there will be some wear, but there's other factors that come in to prevent this.Well, I'll have to see if I am comfortable with the claimed higher engine noise. If I don't like it, I'll just switch to a higher grade.
