For vios engine... what i notice from the MID of sportivo..

engine brake use no fuel at all.. meaning when u release ur padel when going down slope... it is 0L/km ... happy.gif

with neutral gear maybe but if D is engaged, it will definitely use fuel as gears are changed to lower gears to slow down the car

I'm using semi synthetic but service every 10k as well ~ perhaps service every 5k is for those who are using mineral one.

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...

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

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 brows.gif

in love with Amsoil  wub.gif


Added on July 13, 2012, 2:07 pm
thanks to bro vios2002.

I am now a loyal Amsoil user biggrin.gif
*
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...

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 biggrin.gif

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 thumbup.gif

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 doh.gif

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 doh.gif

SS19 SC... usually 9k km on full synthetic cos around 7k+ km already feel sluggish and higher FC... stupid... should just stick to semi cos its 5w-30... car feels lighter... full synthetic's 5w-40 very heavy lar...

Dear all, my Vios 2010 feel very floaty when cornering (especially driving through the Karak highway), any idea which bar I should install, how many mm, get from where, how much? Need opinion, thanks.
*
maybe you can explore on Stiffrings first cos UR bars you need a few...
first will be the rear ARB either 16mm or 19mm... you can go for the others later smile.gif
i'm on 16mm but i don't think its enough... depends on your driving style also...
