Good morning, pls what's differents Between high mileage oil mobil 1 10w-40 and Mobil 1 life 0w-40,i want to service my Honda CRV 2001 Engine Mileage on it is 143010,pls adivce

SOURCE: type of engine oil

No .. the SE and SF grades are obsolete .. The use of 5W verses 10W is that the 5W is lighter viscosity oil

Often the first CE light comes on for oygen sensors.
You can have the CE light checked at any parts store like autozone for free (they have a basic scanner that will tell you what the light means and can sometimes steer you toward the correct replacement part and how to do it yourself, if it simple.
I also recommend a subscription to vehicle manuals and technical service bulletins for your vehicle at www.alldatadiy.com to be armed with info whenever you go to the dealer. I never go without researching first. They will certainly research at your expense!

SOURCE: what kind of motor oil do i need for 2003 bmw 325i

use a 5/30 synthetic oil..its good for winter and summer.

Testimonial: "thanks for your answer"

SOURCE: what would happen if i used a synthetic blend or a

No it will not hurt your engine at all. Actually it will give you a performance boost and a mileage increase.

But, it will also probably cause some leaks that you didn;t have before. Synthetic oil molecules tend to be smaller than their conventional counterparts and if you have any weak gaskets such as the valve cover gasket or the oil pan gasket it will find a way to leak from it. I would try it and if you experience any leakage you can switch back to conventional.

SOURCE: oil warning light on saying

STOP the engine immediately !!! There is an oil pump failure of 2.0 TDI engines !
Remove the oil pan and the oil pump & balancer shafts assembly.


Either the shaft driving the pump from the balance shaft rounds off or the balance shaft drive gears eat themselves.
The same issue ... low oil pressure warning light, noisy rattling engine, and the turbo has gone. Diagnosis: oil pump balancer shaft assembly ...



Many Passat show excess chain noise and wear anywhere from 50,000-100,000+ miles. Cars have broken the chains/tensioner as low as 65,000 miles. This is just a range of cars that have been reported, diagnosed, and repaired. The actual statistics on dealer repairs or failures is unknown and I've heard cars over 100,000 miles that, in my opinion as a non mechanic (most mechanics wouldn't recognize this sound and problem either), aren't noisy. From what has been reported, noticeable noise/chain-tensioner wear/greater risk of breaking is around 60,000-150,000 miles. Your case may vary. The most obvious symptom is a rattling loose noise from the oil pan. Unless you listen to a Passat TDI with a tight chain and one with a loose chain, it's hard to describe the difference other than rattling chain noise.
The reason the gear drive oil pump modification was started is because a few mechanics who specialize in TDI have seen many worn oil pump chains/sprockets/tensioners. There will always be a few defective parts that come off the assembly line and all mechanical components like chains wear out sooner or later, but in my opinion, the failure rate is abnormal considering the number of Passat TDI sold versus the number of reported oil pump failures. This does not necessarily mean that every or even most Passat TDI will have this problem, just that the reported failure rate is high enough to consider this part a design failure. Nobody, not even VW-Audi knows the average time between failure for these parts and the percentage of cars that will have this problem, but they changed this design and if you want to not have this specific failure, the only sure way is to swap to the geared module.
