I'm using Fully Synthetic , I'm always with Petronas Ron 95 Xtra for now, clogged 380-430km one full tank ,

guys,

my SC is in Puchong .. Kah Motor .. they told me that mineral, semi syn, or full syn only can last for 5k km .. they car need to be serviced every 5k no matter which engine oil as it is requirement by Honda or else warranty void ..

any1 can confirm?

seem rugi using full syn oil if the above is true .
*
yeah the thing is no matter what oil u use, the service interval is going to be 5k, what i heard was, if u use fully syn, u can last it for 8k-10k and they will indicate in the book that u are using full syn

in singapore, the service interval for full syn is 10k

yeha i guess thats how they force u to do, by getting u come back for every 5k for that 100k/3 years warranty ...

Hmm I donno about you but i get my car according to my needs, and I don't simply judge based on prices
I feel that B segment is just the right size for me, I don't pay for unnecessary things because it is cheaper or the same priceĀ  flex.gif
At least I have more confidence in Japanese makes, and I can source for parts easily.
Ford fiesta is good for ladies la, buy for your wives or moms, but imagine a full-fledged businessman driving such a small car it's embarassingĀ  blush.gif

Which part of dugong has more stuff than city? TRD bodykit? TRD rims? TRD everything?
Those are utter useless..
Does it have 5th gear in its tranmission? Does it have paddle shift? Does it have big 506 litres of boot space? Does it have rear seat undertray? Does it have i-vtec? the list goes on heheheĀ  whistling.gif

hahaha not to mention bout the cosmetics stuff la ... on the dugong, the alarm siren is louder and has a separate backup battery, trunk release(on my city i had to seal off the back lock with a large plate number, so i can only open via the latch inside car) hmmm i cant think of any more for now, but this two is good enough for me ...

edited: its dohc, comes with door visor(i dont need this actually), and the alarm also has tilt sensor ...

but i would still be buying a honda as i just dont like the dugong shape

Stolen cars worth RM2m recovered

PORT KLANG: The Customs Department recorded their biggest success against car-theft syndicates yesterday when they recovered 25 stolen vehicles worth RM2 million, with the help of their counterparts at an Israeli port.
The cars -- all Honda City models -- were in five cargo containers headed for Cyprus but Israeli authorities, tipped off by Customs Department officers, boarded it at the port of Haifa when it stopped there.

Selangor Customs director Datuk Azis Yacub said the department's break came with the arrest of a Malaysian, aged 35, after a tip-off and a month of surveillance.


The arrest led to the recovery of the vehicles in Israel.

"The vehicles were declared as furniture in Customs declaration and goods loading forms," he said in a joint press conference with the police at Westport yesterday.

"We managed to liaise with our foreign counterparts and the shipping company, and ordered all the containers to be brought back to the country.


"Initial investigations revealed that at least 10 containers were to be smuggled out to Cyprus.

"We will liaise with Interpol to help us trace the stolen vehicles and identify the contacts at the destination countries.

"We have identified the mastermind and as investigations are ongoing, we are confident of nabbing him soon."


Azis said yesterday's success was due to the cooperation between the Selangor Customs officers and a team from the federal police.

Klang Selatan police chief Assistant Commissioner of Police Mohamad Mat Yusop said police were still looking for two men to assist in investigations.

He said checks on the 25 vehicles revealed they were stolen in June. Three were stolen in Kuala Lumpur, one each in Negri Sembilan and Malacca, with the rest occurring in Selangor.

He said cars stolen by the syndicate would be smuggled to Cyprus, Hong Kong, Dubai and Thailand.

He said the syndicate was believed to have smuggled 437 vehicles worth RM47 million out of the country in the past year alone.

He said police were not discounting the possibility that the syndicate had help from port officials to smuggle the stolen vehicles.

PORT KLANG: A Cyprus connection has emerged in the Kampung Black Water international stolen car saga following the recent seizure of another 25 cars, all Honda City models, passed off in five shipping containers as furniture.

The Malaysian Royal Customs Department and a shipping company tracked down a ship ferrying the cars, all less than a year old, on July 6 in Haifa Port, Israel. The vessel was enroute to Port Larnaca, Cyprus.

Cyprus, as a destination for stolen cars, had never been on the radar of Malaysian authorities and the hunt for the mastermind has been stepped up to zero in on the global network of the syndicate.

Interpol assistance has been sought to help penetrate the racket in certain countries.

Malaysian Customs and police now believe investigations to trace and recover the remaining 337 vehicles smuggled out from the country by the same syndicate will take them to several new destinations.

The Kampung Black Water car theft syndicate has been active since June last year and the full extent of its involvement in vehicle thefts in the country is being looked into.

The 25 Honda City cars seized were part of 462 vehicles worth RM49 million that had been shipped to various countries in June after being stored in a warehouse in Kampung Black Water, Jalan Klang-Banting, near here.

The Customs Department had raided the warehouse on June 30 and recovered 98 cars from there that was awaiting shipment. Four suspects were arrested.

Follow-up investigations took the authorities to Haifa Port.

Selangor Customs director Datuk Aziz Yacub said the 25 stolen cars that were declared as furniture left Port Klang on June 24.

"We detected the ship in Haifa Port and ordered it to return to Malaysia. Images of cars were detected when all the containers were scanned upon arrival at Westport on July 27.

"The tyres were all taken off and the cars were kept in hanging position inside the containers so that one container could fit five cars."

He said initial investigations by both Customs and police revealed the freight forwarding company involved had planned to export 10 containers on June 24.

Aziz said investigations were underway to identify the buyers of the stolen cars in Cyprus.

Frequent but random checks

THE failure to scan the five containers laden with 25 stolen cars has raised questions over the operating procedures of the Customs Department.

Asked why none of the containers were scanned before they left Westport, Port Klang, Selangor Customs director Datuk Aziz Yacub said scans are frequently done but at random and depended on information received.

"If we check every container, shipping will be delayed and Customs will be blamed for creating a backlog."

He said between 4,500 and 5,000 containers laden with goods for export pass through Customs on a daily basis. In a month, about 10,000 containers have goods declared as furniture for export.

Missing since June

THE 25 Honda City cars that were recovered from a ship enroute to Cyprus had been reported missing in June.

South Klang district police chief ACP Mohamad Md Yusuf, said 20 of the cases were in Selangor, three in Kuala Lumpur and one case each in Negri Sembilan and Malacca.

He said the syndicate used various methods to break into the vehicles which were all less than a year old. Police have arrested a 35-year-old suspect and are looking for two others.

What has been going on

THE Kampung Black Water car theft syndicates had stolen 560 luxury vehicles during the year-long spree in various parts of the country.

Police believe 462 cars worth RM49 million had been shipped to several destinations including Dubai, Hong Kong and Thailand to date.

The stolen luxury cars include Honda City, Honda CRV, Honda Accord, Toyota Hilux, Toyota Rush and Toyota Fortuner models.

It was established that Honda and Toyota models were targeted due to high demand.

The syndicate's activities were halted on June 29 when Selangor police raided a warehouse in Kampung Black Water in Jalan Klang-Banting and seized 98 cars.

Four suspects, aged between 20 and 40 were arrested.

Besides being in charge of the warehouse, the suspects were also believed to be responsible for the placement of the cars in shipping containers.

Honestly, City loses to Vios in terms of ride comfort & suspension. When City goes through a deep hole, you can feel a hard shock & its like hitting metal. Vios on the other hand feels like there's a rubber that minimize the impact.

City is known for it's hard suspension, sporty mah
