[QUOTE="Alchemis, post: 1779548, member: 20898"] [b]Lesson 2[/b] Lesson 2 - Maintenance Basically, maintenance of RE is nothing... very EASY... nothing to be worried off. for a stock car the suggestion is always get a mineral oil only RM50 per 4 litre. and a Mazda oil filter that's around RM 25 to RM 30 per piece.... most important of this lesson... change them every 3000 miles, or 5000 KM THE MOST.... some of the RE folks might say go synthetic, there's a big discussion and argument in the RX7club.com regarding this topic... Logically speaking, our car pumps oil into the engine for lubrication.. it's being burnt.... if the oil burns un-clean... then you'll have alot of dust and deposits. if it's high grade synthetic.. u don't get it burn... i don't know where the oil goes then :) i know if i use mineral.. it gets evaporated.... so.. i need to top up about 500 ML every half year :) that's not a significant oil lost :) it's normal. Gear boxes....we're talking about gear box oils, rear axel oils and linkages. if you don't know the history of the gear box oil or the LSD oil, change it once u get the car.... it should last you up to at least 2 years if you're not racing ur car constantly. how much ? go ask a foreman... gear box oil... usually sell in 1 litre form... you'll need maybe 4 bottles ? and LSD need 2 bottles... and price is depending on what brand u use. linkages..... as you know, they are wrapped in a rubber piece... greeses are applied inside. once the rubber piece gave up.... time to change the linkages... it'll get worn... you'll be having difficulty getting a right wheel allignment or noises when you drive through rough roads. cross your fingers, this don't happen to you :) Radiator...... there has been people saying use Water Wetter + de-mineralized water + coolant (25 % only). it does help a little.... but not a significant cash involved.... change them once a year.... it should help your engine to be rust free... and clog free.... this set you off for around RM 50 to RM 80..... the rest..... brake pads normal question.. finish then change lor.... no need to ask kua :) i think at the moment that's what i have in my mind for begineers.... i hope some other member could come and post more FAQ for intermediate drivers in term of electronics etc.. what is required in the car... what to do .. what not to do.. what to be careful :) [B]someone STICK this thread....[/B] [/QUOTE]
