Semi Synt already good enough..

mine ... 74k and counting... as average 1 week 1k of mileage of driving...

last time my another car service every 5~7k on fully sync.. as i notice some power lost at 6k after use...then change sync brand got 1 brand dont feel much power at 2k of mileage then been use Motul, Royal purple and lastly Amsoil till now...

so far Amsoil dint notice much power lost even push till 13k plus ... and best part city driving still able to archive 530km ~ 550km ... even at 70k plus....


yes ... 10k

wah ...very take care your engine ...
i notice my ex-colleague vios been been running 250k plus and have not overhaul for oil leak... as our engine like bullet proof....

1 tank RM69 ~ RM71 able to archive 530km ~ 550km on city and 85% highway can reach 630km... on manual...

just got my G limited 3 weeks ago.
rm65-69 per tank fuel.
problem is only can archive 39xkm mileage(till the fuel icon flashing)..
how come a?

how long do u always stop at traffic light? I notice taking a no traffic light route do better...
Also don't drive highway 160km/h~~~ does not do good for the fuel as well...

my 1st full tank manage 490km with the highway 160km/h
hope this second tank will last longer.. as i keep the rev below 3k rpm... see what i get later. so far not so good.. cos last tank 1st bar can go 100km, now 90km already drop

mine from full tank can go around 4xxKM n still have around 3/4 bar.....highway
from KL to Kedah....on street don't know la....hahaha

my first bar also dropping... used to get around 80-90km... not 70+km first bar gone

hmm this what i'm quite skeptical about... previously i used semi-sync all the way... but again i was on Manual Vios back then.. now on auto hmmm.. benn considering to go full-sync


that's what i thought... since i remember bring-in my previous manual vios to toyota showroom and they asked me how frequent i change engine oil and which oil? i said every 5K and using semi-sync... and she was like.. and she said i should go every 10K with full sync..

still on my first tank which i fillup at Petronas for a total of RM72... now still have 4 bars and the mileage now is at 290KM... dunno how long it takes me to drain the 4 remaining bars..
and i'm on Auto Vios now...

that's what i thought initially... but now dunno yet.. wait until my next service.. the first 1K service.... maybe in 2-3 weeks time..


manual always good with FC.. i think

maybe the ECU need to adjust to your driving style or maybe your right foot is a bit heavy this first 3 weeks... new cars got the urges to press more on the pedal.. i know i did..

last time i drove my Vios Manual from BKE to Melaka on 1 full tank... reach Melaka the last bar began flashing....and quickly find the nearest Petronas to fill up... not sure how many KM maybe >660km...

so far my first bar drops at 75km.... hopefully can imrpove to the same par as my prev manual vios...


err... when doing service.. which one should we follow....

5,000km mileage intervals
OR
the 3 months intervals?

previously i serviced my vios every 3.5 months and the mileage is at least another 1K before reaching the mileage intervals (very less long distance travelling)...

so which to follow ek? mileage or months?

kuman

which even comes first... i'm on full syn, so 10000km or 6 months... but i reached 9000km by 4 months so serviCe lor...

+1.....

had the same issue when i was using "Toyota Full Syn", which is from "Pennzoil"

Then change to Castrol, Shell, fully syn, still the same feeling. (Shell feels more powerful though)

Since then been using Amsoil.

My current Amsoil has last me 15k, without any feeling of dropping in power and FC high.
Amsoil comes with 25k miles guaranteed if you use their signature oil coupled with their nanofibre oil filter.

In case anyone didn't know this,
1 miles = 1.6km

in love with Amsoil

another Amsoil user, can give the specs of the oil and where to buy? servicing outside already is it?

oh... its 5w-30, no wonder more power... i think Toyota's full syn 5w-40 too gao... semi syn 5w-30 better leh...

This post has been edited by kenji1903: Jul 13 2012, 02:15 PM

been using 0w-30.
5w-40 nono
ever since servicing outside, car has been performing much better

so Toyota Semi-Sync is 5W-30 ya?

since the Toyota Full Syn is 5w-40.. then might go with semi-sync la like that for the first 10k and judge it from there and see

kuman

my car still new, scare to service outside...maybe maintain at toyota SC 1st until 3 years....try 5W-30 after this...on Myvi i use Eneos 5W-30 really smooth like Alphard...kah3

semi syn can go only 7000km...

then push until 10k km...hahahaha

i'll stick to the service interval cos i want to sell the car with better 2nd hand value

Can bring in own engine oil or not? i mean now new car still under warranty but want to birng in own engine oil?

please advice.

Model Vios 2012 1.5J(Manual)
