Celica Forums General Discussion General oil change

i was just a little over the last dott when i checked my oil
so i efilled it with some expensive oil i dont know wath its call full sytectik or somthing you know wath i mean, and my car was going a LOT better i mean VERY MUTCH BETTER, is it the new type of oil that did it or was it becuase it was so low on oil before that my enigen for some reason dont work so good when its low on oil.

did you drain your old oil out before adding new oil in?

No way.

Oil adds 30 horsepower at least.

yes

Only magic oil does that though.

so it wasent the oil, hmm my be it was becuase i lossned the screw taht holds my air filter a little

actually, if you don't have your air filter, you'll gain a little more power...

but this was kinda drastick before i had now low power if i shiffted to 4 in about 50 km and pressed the gas halv way in it was almost no respond to the speedo needel but now it moves easy on low rpm

Read up dude, there's lots to learn on this site.

thats gotta be it. lossening screws unleashes hella horsepower

ooh hella! yeah dont forget to loosen the Oil Cap too! Get more air flow!= more torque!! **vroom**

to answer ur question... no, it must have been some other reasons. lol!

I feel much better right after each oil change. I change the oil myself, and always use the same brand/type of oil.

^^^exactly.

maybe it felt better because you did the work yourself.

:give yourself a slap on the butt:

i have readed 90%

wiered for it was very mutch diff its hard to explain but when i gave gas on low rpm in high gears the the speedo almost did not move i thougth this was wiered. and now the needel moves 2 times ass fast mybe 3 times faster, this is wiered, can it be the ecu got used to the Intake i got it on for 3-4 weeks ago?

I think it's all in your head.

ok your oil was low then you drained whats left and put new in and it runs better now thats good thats what oil is suposed to do lubricate pistons and lifters and guides ect ect ectwhen its low or viscosity is broken down these items begin grinding metal to metal literally robing you of Performance unfortionally you may have caused damage not noticable yet but is coming if your oil change made that much of a difference would love to see how bad your engine is damaged if not how much sludge is built up its recomended to change your oil every 3000 to 5000 miles not just when you feel like it (if you want to keep your car running good) if you r racing it change it at most 3000 miles even with synthetic,,,ps be careful of some of the advice you recieved on this post

here i live the most pepole never change oil
they do it at the services every 15 000km
damn
on the inside of teh door i found a sticker that was from shell(gas station if you dont have it in us) and it stood 45 000km and 8july2004 and in teh sticker it was teh name of the oil, wtf is that i bhougth teh car before that is it when i shudd change oil or wath is it?

btw my car is on 43 000km now

The sticker usually lists when you should change it. So when you get to that KM, change it.

No god, don't wait till 15,000KM, you won't have a motor for long doing that. These are high-reving 4 cylinders that need to be changed about every 6,000KM or less.

ok thank i dont know wath teh previous owner did but i will change often now
