don't think can lar... even changing light bulbs they say they cannot do it due to warranty reasons

+1

wah really .... next time i try to get a ODBII Scanner and data log to check how our car system work during down hill...

busy loh... so many new project and time line so short....
Yes AMSOIL is full sync, Mine since 1k ori oil from toyota mineral oil then from the 1st service shift to Amsoil SSO 0w30 and AZO 0w30 till now signature series really good...

last time my gf vios also using toyota sync and been complain FC low... then now use SSO 0w30 and AZO 0w30 FC able to archive around 500k on city drive if not too bad traffic jam.


wah that very good...

for the 1st bar on highway i able to archive max around 130km with speed of 110kmh for city driving between 80~100km depend how traffic condition.


hehe ... good oil right... how you really enjoy... next i hope can reach hybrid class .... now still dreaming...

you wan AMSOIL ... i got in stock ... hehe

To me been using amsoil Signature series 0w30 what i really like is after been continue none stop driving for 200km plus on highway without stop still have smooth power to accelerate when over take car....

toyota full sync is just a normal sync 5w40 is just too thick for our little car... our manual recommend to use is 5w30... you can check our manual book.

bro you serviced your car at SC or outside? cos SC won't allow any foreign stuff leh?
swapping between SSO and AZO? or mix? SSO and AZO is not the Signature right?

same here... max 1st bar 130km highway max 120km/h, so proud lar cos that full tank was 5.9l/100km

yo, follks. Do you all have recommended vios SA? wanna get a basic vios.

ok then.. next 1K service will stick with toyota semi-sync...

so how much is this AMSOIL? its full-sync?

kuman

i never been to SC beside the 1st service when get my new car.... yes you can use foreign stuff as warranty issue.... Before AZO their top range is SSO 0w30 then recently AMSOIL just launch new range Signature the best quality is AZO for our daily use....

currently my engine, gearbox and radiator is using amsoil product....

depend on which amsoil you use...

My vios is going into the 5th year with 100,000k mileage. The engine starts to have loud noise and some air choking sound when i press the pedal.

Just went for service and tune the car. When start engine it rev up to 2k to warm up the car. You guys had this tune before? Been using semi syn.

Any1 tested the fix it pro before? And the result?

Almost the same as mine.


Mine is Vios 2012 1.5G limited
RM75.30 - 421.6km.
everyday go and back from bayan lepas and alma penang.

bro,
are u using ATF or ATL for the gearbox?

how many quarts did you filled in? 3?
if its 3 i believe only about half was filled into the transmission, as the torque converter was filled with the other half at any time.

do enlighten me thanks

ATF cooler anyone....?? i like to try but scare wasted my money if no improvement...

Ok. Then is about the same. I am driving from Relau to bayan Lepas through BJ(EQ hotel) to work. So will need to up/down hill twice a day. This could cause the FC slightly higher.

*poisoned* Going to try out AMSOIL signature series fully synthetic for next service

few things to ask since a semi sync what brand and how is your service schedule for the past 5 years?
Got few suggestion can give to almost 100% re-stall but also depend to your engine condition.
1. Flush your engine & Transmission
2. Clear your Intake system from O2 sensor, throttle- body and intake valve.
3. If can get ODBII reader check is there any sensor reading error, if got replace.
4. Replace Spark plug, air filter, fuel filter(if needed) depend on condition.
5. Check radiator fluid if can replace (water pump depend on condition)

Above few item will be cheaper then Overhaul your engine and time needed.

As for normal service there is not engine tuning...maybe they just try to erase the sensor error code. Pls ask them what tuning is done?



For your ATF i think still better use toyota ATF ... i think is WS ATF grade that indicate in the ATF stick. For nomally service ATF it need about 4 litter but there is some spare old oil in your AT... full flush ATF you need about 6~7 litter of ATF.


yes can install make sure they give your a good quality join and connector or else leaking is possible when oil pressure increase during driving.


Good to hear that ... try to get your intake system clear 1st.... to max out what this oil can offer to our little car. may follow my above tips...


Good new guys ...can make some pocket money...

What fuel do you guys pump?
Over here in Sarawak, only have Petronas and Shell. If got BHP, sure will stick to that brand.

I've been using Petronas 95 for more than 1 year and feel that the engine sometimes lag when u step on the pedal.

After I change to Shell 95 last month, really can feel that difference straight away. Power is there when u step on the gas pedal. Now on my 2nd fuel up but notice that the engine noise a bit rough and car body shake a bit more compared to Petronas 95.
In terms of mileage comparison, not much difference.
Perhaps there are pros and cons that you guys have experienced in using both fuels?

i switch back to Petronos 95 after trying Shell 95 once cos there weren't any Petronas along the highway

same like what you experienced... but mine was immediate, felt no power, engine quite loud... acceleration from standstill is like the engine going to die... loud but no power

i never use Petronas since using 1st car..my car like jeg n semput2....shell give me better accelaration n maybe this week i want try shell 97...test long distance from KL to Kedah...hu3

ive been pumping Petronas 95 on all my cars... this new Vios included.. and just pump my 2nd tank yesterday.. at rm68

my 1st tank cost me RM72 and i manage to get 410km (i expected more.. but again this is an auto ) with roughly around 80% city driving (i dunno if my place qualify as a city ) and 20% h/way... (estimation my my first pump)

will need to reg with Fuelly to check and see the mileage..

and this vios being white... this is the most frequent washing i had on any cars that i owned... washed it again yesterday as an aftermath of following a lorry on a rainy day!!
cannot tahan looking at a dirty-white-car!!
