I already stated sorry i couldnt help it. Look at your answers you provided. Definitely i would lol. Forgive my smart assness. If you have read what matrix provided you wouldnt give that kind of reply.
10w-40 or 10-40w, does it make any difference? Its still viscosity rating to me and not temperature like you mentioned. A simple spelling mistake does not make me dumb.
30w is not too thin for vios for your info. I use to run it on my b16 vtec during track days and its fine. It just depends on your engine conditions really.
Sorry if you are offended dude. Dont take it to seriously.

Now considering to replace the front light bulbs, considering those from Philips. Around 4000K is still fine right? Forgot where I read from but it stated that I need to consider the max/ideal range of temperature.

Anyway, would like to change to the white light but the H11 bulbs for the fog lamps are quite costly and was thinking to leave the fog lamps at stock. Then I can just replace the headlights with a brighter yellow light. Don't like the idea of the headlights being white and then yellow on the fog lamps.

Philips X-tremeVision:

The power2night offers about 50% more light while the X-tremeVision is about 100% more light (when compared with standard bulbs). Price wise, X-tremeVision is about RM90 more expensive than the power2night. Considering that I'll be driving in the city most of the time, I think the power2night is more than enough right?

i'm also thinking to change the headlamps... Considering between Philips X-treme power (3400K) and PIAA (3800K), i saw some 5000K, looks... Ah beng bluish

no worries.

will give it a try Amsoil SSO 0w-30 for my next oil change in a month.
Then i shall drop by again to provide valuable information to those who is still ignorant like me

Speaking of changing light bulbs, may I know how is Osram bulbs? Is it good? Which one you guys recommend? Osram or Philips?

Thanks!

a lot of forums discussing about this but so far both have their pros and cons

i'm looking for something less than 4000K... don't want it to be too white or blueish...

for Vios 2011, the manual states recommended lube is 10W-30. I do not know about older vios.. maybe its xW-40.

what I gathered around the net is ppl around the globe are using xW-30 lube, some xW-20, but most manual (in different countries) recommend xW-30 for 1NZ-FE. only in malaysia toyota is too slow to realise xW-30 is safe to use in our climate, coz older Toyota Genuine Motor Oil (TGMO) only offer 10w-40 minimum, and they have changed to 10W-30 now.. still, Pennzoil (maker of TGMO) hasn't got the xW-30 blend for fully syn, whereas you can get xW-30 Pennzoil Platinum at spare parts shop.

I still think xW doesn't matter in our country, because it is a rating for cold temp.. in malaysia, our cold temp is not so, err.. cold..

Apparently the Philips has a lower failure/defect rate, 1 in 1,000,000. So of 1,000,000 bulbs they manufacture, roughly about 1 bulb will be defective. If it's consistently true then it's awesome.

Sorry bro. Didnt mean that way. We are all ignorant at times but thats how we all learn new stuffs everyday. Anyway, is your vios new model? If yes then fully synthetic 5-30 is perfect.

My engine is already 5 yrs ++ so i need to use higher viscosity oil.

nope...mine is NCP42...already 4 years+
but i have been using full syn all these years...5w-40

though i revv alot my engine, but i think my engine is still tip top condition.

dun apologize anymore

I'm driving 2005 Vios G Spec.....my headlight getting yellow-ish

Which should i put and what price would it cost ?

some shops are offering to clean & polish the headlamps..
dr. cermin also got offer this service.. price RM80+

show us the results, pal
As I also thinking of changing the stock one as it is not so bright.
Wira one is even brighter n yellowish lol

thinking only... between RM140 - RM180 for a pair of bulbs is

is it those normal H4 bulbs that applied on wira is just rm10-20/pcs ?

Guys for me i wont get this type of expensive bulb, 1 suggestion is our car light output is not as bright other car maybe you can install a electronic ballast something like HID unit but use back our standard bulb much brighter compare to stock but not as bright as HID unit. cost cheap some more.

won't using a ballast on normal bulb cause the normal bulbs to have shorter lifespan?
cos expensive bulbs are made to output more light in oppose to the normal bulbs...

how much is the ballast anyway and any re-wiring needed? if yes, might as well just go straight to projector conversion

maybe some may comment shorter lifespan cause by the ballast, but looking at my friend car he been using more then a year with a stock bulb... so far not complaint from him about the short lifespan. main different is the light of the color is remain in standard yellow white color but the light coverage is increase.

you can get from most acc shop last time was around RM100 plus ~ RM200 depend on brand. for the wiring nothing to be done just connect to our battery, light bulb and the control unit. no wiring splice.

if you look forward to projector light pls check the light output some time may not have the same output as car that fixed with projector light as standard.

is it safe to use toyota 10-30 semi synt eng oil???

Wuhoo.. parents waiting for vios G white.. SA said have to wait about 2 weeks..
