Re: E90 engine oil leak experience
Thanks for the permas jaya workshop...was quoted Sgd $2.5k in sg workshop and 2 days down time...decided to be adventurous and headed north to ask 2nd opinion...permas jaya guy did it with Sgd $580 and in 3 hours. I took photos of what they changed before and afterand the boss took care to explain everything.

Re: E90 engine oil leak experience
Driving 2007 E90 mileage 110k km. When I went in, Francis first jacked up my car for inspection and explained all the parts that needs to be changed. He speaks good english too! Told me the price and if I am ok to proceed. After changing he kept all the removed parts as proof. If you want, you can stay and watch, but I decided to go to Jusco for grocery shopping and massage. Drive in at 1pm, collected at 4pm. Francis drove me to and fro Jusco so save taxi fare.
Here are the removed parts and items changed.

To be fair, I think SG workshops are better in terms of giving me peace of mind because its kinda risky to drive in due to unfamiliarity with road and the not so safe JB image. SG price is reasonably higher due to sky high rental and high labour charges. Furthermore, took me abit longer to find the place due to new roads contructed though its only 20 min drive from JB custom. Verdict, small problems below $500 I will do in SG. Big problems will go look for Francis in JB. Hope this helps!

Re: E90 engine oil leak experience
Not sure if it's top overhaul...guess mine was leaking quite bad with visible oil stains at top, front and bottom. But strangely it isnt eating engine oil, as in computer did not prompt to top up. Radiator hose also have visible signs of wear and tear. All the mechanics in sg workshops i brought to only popped the hood and started to shake their head and told me its big problem. So here comes francis in jb, who inspected with whole car jacked up, went underneath, shine with torchlight everywhere, removed some parts that blocked his view and diagnosed that dont need to change everything first to save cost. He showed me where the source of leakage and I just went along with his advice coz seriously unless u r a trained mechanic, u have to LL follow what they say. Maybe sg workshop just want to play save...maybe jb give lousy parts that's why cheaper? I will nv know. Just monitor and see.

Re: E90 engine oil leak experience
10w60 oil is quite heavy, did you notice engine being more sluggish than before?
I got all my leaks fix car good as new, but now losing some oil through exhaust can see some smoke when revving hard.
It's either changing to thicker oil or major ops, ie engine overhaul soon

Francis supplied. I did not know what parts to buy and I didn't want to come in another day.
