is it really related to driving(pressing clutch)? or has it to do anything with my seating position? i own a swift dzire vdi since 2 years and has completed 80000km. but self driven around 35000km. has something like this been experienced by other swift owners here? any solution?

i used to face Knee joint pain in Santro prior to swift. Now that has gone since I started using Swift D and I have driven >75000 kms on it. Maybe it is the seating position that you need to change. try multiple driver seat positions and check out.

Swiftnfurious: What are the charges for InterCooler cleaning? I haven't done that till data and am planning on doing it during my upcoming service

Hey 100 ml is too little to be a problem. Even if you fill just 3 Lit there wont be a difference.
would like to know the charges for intercoler cleaning too.

I was charged 400 rs + tax for intercooler cleaning.

Cost was Rs 250/- for one Liter can. I knew the shopkeeper from prior purchases and hence he gave me the same for 250 and told me that the cost has increased to Rs 265/- per litre.

Man, oils are getting quite pricey off-late.

Folks, Any major difference between Mobil Delvac Super 1300 and Mobil Delvac Mx?

Isn't Delvac Super 1300 CG4? If yes, then I suggest you to get atleast a CH4 rated oil. Delvac MX is CI4, so if you cant get it, try getting Shell Rimula R4 or Elf Performance 3D. Both are 15W40 grade and CI4 rated. There is an oil from Gulf as well which is also CI4. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...ml#post2296100

Very frankly, I am a newbie when it comes to oil. As stated, I could not find Delvac Mx and nearly all the stores recommended Devlac Super 1300 as the next best, hence bought that bcos I surely didn't want to put Servo which the MASS had.

Regarding the question about Delvac Super 1300 being CG4, I will check the oil can at home today evening and update. BTW if it is CG4, would that be a critical parameter to not use that oil bcos anyway I would be using it for only 5K Kms and would be doing another oil change post that.

Edit: Called up home and asked to check the label. Looks like the Oil is API CG4/CF4

Edit again: Just Googled for Mobil Delvac Super 1300 and saw the following description on Amazon. Does that mean that there are diff version of Mobil Delvac Super 1300?

Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40 is a new, high-performance commercial engine oil that provides exceptional performance in heavy duty engine oil applications. The multigrade characteristics of Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40 provides excellent cold cranking capabilities and oil pumpability at low temperatures. Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 10W-30 and 15W-40 are extra high performance diesel engine oils that help extend engine life in the most severe on and off-highway applications while delivering outstanding performance in modern, high-output, low-emission engines including those with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Aftertreatment Systems with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs). Fully backwards compatible, Mobil Delvac 1300 Super will also deliver the same exceptional performance in older conventional engines. As a result, they exceed the API CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS and CH-4 service categories as well as key Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) requirements for 2007 engines. Mobil Delvac 1300 Super is the result of extensive cooperative development work with major OEMs and is recommended for use in a wide range of heavy duty applications and operating environments found in the trucking, mining, construction, quarrying, and agricultural industries. These products will provide outstanding protection in the most demanding diesel engines of Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Mack, Mercedes Benz, Navistar, Volvo, and others. Mobil Delvac 1300 Super also meets the API SM specification for gasoline engines and mixed fleets.

Using this oil or not depends on what is the minimum rating specified in your car's service manual. I think for swift diesel it is CG4. If so, you can use this and replace after 5k. I still believe, while this oil will not cause any problem, if you can source, it will be better to use a higher rated oil like CH4 or CI4. That will offer better engine protection.

Also, please check the specs of Indian version of this oil. I think, in India, so far not a single oil is CJ4 rated. Even Delvac 1 (Indian Version) is CI4+. Please see below the specs of Super 1300 (Indian Version):

Delvac super 1300 is specially brewed for MUL, so dont worry too much. Yes its the second best option if you want to stick with mobil minerals. MUL used to use this at the MASS's. If you stick to 5k oil change its super safe also.

[Eddy]

I also used the Super 1300 for the first 40,000 kms. Don't worry, its a good enough oil for the car

@f1fan, in the part you had quoted, there is nothing new or extra about the oil. It's just general description. Lots of marketing talk there.

The only things you need to check are the specifications of the oil.

What is the possibility of fitting the Ritz tacho in Swift Ldi and at how much cost?

Would it be wise to get the Ritz tacho or some other aftermarket tacho instead? I wish to spend the least possible (don't we all ). What I mean is that I want a tacho which isn't tacky, not too big and cheap (but not cheap looking), possible?

Any pointers on where I could check out a few in Delhi/NCR?

Can someone please educate me on how an engine oil is affected by an Exhaust Gas recirculation system, diesel particulate filters, diesel oxidation catalysts etc....? I always thought the engine oil is merely lubricating the engine components, while these other components are outside the engine. What am I missing?

Basically vehicles with EGR blah blah puts more load on the lubricant to do the clean up job and hence has to have better detergent effect etc. That is all. Yes they might not be having oil circulation, but since they do have an impact on the engine as a system

Planning to get all 4 shockers for the swift changed day after at 1,00,000 kms.

Anything else that needs attention at this mileage, apart from the normal fluids and filter changes ?
