correct GDI doesn't have step up as most e-throttles do not

icefox, you dont need a mech to do those things.
If you willing you could change oil and spark plugs yourself.

Best body oil to use is a 15w40 some give preference to 10w30.
Good brands are Amsoil, Shell Helix....do a search in this thread, there lots of oil reccomendations.
Im using NP 15w40 oil for the past 6 months...no complaints.
Do you know which body is in the car right now?

With regard to spark plug, try NGK BKR5E-11 or NGK BKR6E-11.

[Biggs3ne]

There are tons of videos on youtube to show you how. However, some may not be correct practice to follow. I think you could either go back with Castrol 10W 30 Oil or a 15W 40 body with little worries. It is not as difficult as you think bro!!

You will need the following:

1. Oil of preference
2. New Oil Filter
3. 17 Spanner
4. Oil Filter wrench
5. Jack and Jack Stands
5.Container to collect old oil.

Maybe you can take the car to the mechanic just this once so you can see what he is doing, and after that do it yourself.

Install looks great!

What causes my brakes to make noise? No I am not talking about the brake pads. It sound as though it's coming from the Caliper. Whenever I put the gear in reverse and apply brakes it makes the noise. Has anyone ever experienced this? Could this be a sign that my Calipers need replacing?
Do the Calipers need to be serviced periodically? I know I may be sounding stupid but I really don't know what is the cause.

Any views or thoughts on this?

[ZeroOne]

Calipers need to be greased ever so often.

When you change oil how do you dispose the old oil?

Maria need an underwash.

[Biggs3ne]

Ideally and in compliance with Environmental Best Practices I should bottle it and drop it off at the gas station, but the last few times I emptied it in the drain .

[ZeroOne]

Ok.

I want to get one of those big barrels that mechanics use to store old oil, I was told that once the barrel is full you can arrange for an oil company to collect it.

María brand and price please

ZeroOne specify to d man what exactly has to be greased on the caliper and what kind of grease to use....here, I would do it....the caliper pins needs to be greased with a rubber safe grease...I bought a clear silicone based grease from the Motorist for my caliper pins because there is a rubber bushing on one of the pins on each of my caliper but on regular stock CS2/CS3 brakes it's also to protect the rubber boot that seals off the pin in case someones uses petroleum based grease which damages rubber...for guys that have rear disc brakes, the lower caliper pin has the bushing on it....

another item to check for noise are the brake pad clips and shims...where the disc pad "ears" makes contacts with the clips needs to be cleaned and greased as well...if the disc pad feels slack in the caliper what you can do is take out the clips and try to squeeze them slightly in with a bird beak pliers (but be as gentle as possible because you could disfigure the clips with too much force) so it would hold the disc pad tighter (no, not like a white pants) so there would be minimum disc pad play....if you doh wanna take that risk, buy new clips....in some cases it's recommended to put grease on the brake pad shim where both the caliper and caliper piston makes contact to eliminate noise...if your shims are bent, try to str8en them, if u not getting it perfectly flat replace them

[ZeroOne]

I does just take the car to the mechanic and he does the servicing lol

Thanks for the info. Gonna try and do this sometime over the weekend.

well I do the majority of work on my car....most mechanics don't take the time to do things properly like how you would want it to be done...they rush down everything so they could have more time to make more money lol

[ZeroOne]

Yea I going to change oil myself, save myself a $60.

[EXODUS]

well i dus pay 30 fur oil change so no biggie... mech dus basically errthing engine related. i dus do meh own paint touchups and odds and ends

[point_blank]

On the 04 CS what is that angular part at the bottom (in the center) of the front bumper called? See a lot of those lancers missing it, I'm guessing it comes off easily. Is that part easy to find and replace. Thanks.

[María]

[quote="turbo_beast369"]María brand and price please

its the ck/cb links

part no. MB-518780

paid $120 for the pair

[idlemind]

Point_blank. I not too sure of that parts purpose but it's STOLEN often. Plus I guess it comes off easily if you hook your bumper on anything.

I thank God my bumper different and i dont have that stress yes.

Nice job Maria...next stop I told you is the H brace. Can't make dex this Sunday but I'm sure I'll hear how it performed. Good luck!
