Done my 15k service last week.
By default, they are using SM 5W-30 Engine Oil (Semi) (RM99.80) and not the mineral oil as stated from honda website. Remember to claim the RM40 e-voucher. The first bill they issue only deduct RM 20 for the e-voucher, but after verify again and they made some several calls, they issue me another bill with the deduction of RM40.  The next service (20k) will be very expensive!! RM 400 plus.. sweat. sweat... |

Unless we together made a official request/complain to HM to allow a longer service period or else still back to square. anyway, did you ask them why the semi sync engine oil would last for 5km only instead of 7.5km? |

I have gone through my invoice and other terms and conditions but it never stated that the car must be serviced by HM for the warranty to be valid. After the first service, I did ask why I need to service every 5K. The SA said never mind since it is free so take it. Can we say that since the car warranty is for 3 years than all parts must be replaced for free within that period of time.  |

QUOTE(STC @ Oct 10 2011, 07:55 PM) I am planning to make an official complaint about the required every 5000KM service. I probably need many signatories as I believe that it is unethical to force customers to service car more often than required. If you guys remember that in 1997 when Peugeot launch the cars, one of their selling point was service was only required every 10000KM. I have checked with US maintenace manual and it also recommend something like 12000km under normal driving condition. Please go ahead. I believe not only all of us here, but our friend in City and Civic will also join the movement.I think for a gentle use of a hybrid car, synthetic oil is unnecessary unless you expose your car to high revs. There are several automotive blogs explaining the difference between mineral and syntheitic oil. Meanwhile, did HM overcharged us for the Insight? The government said zero duties so why are we paying RM99800 for a US19000 car? Even after adding the sales tax, it is still expensive. Our Honda Insight is the lowest of model of the insight. 10k interval should be ok. Modern engine. For Insight, it should been longer than 5k interval as our engine shuts off when stationary. That alone saves plenty of engine operating hours and could extend engine oil life on specific mileage. |

hello fellow insighters,
plan to order mine the earliest 2012 batch. Oredi placed booking. Small part of me wanted to wait for Civic 2012 but wat the heck, why pay more when insight is more expensive than civic in US (USD19k+ vs USD15k+, correct me if i m wrong). Got one question though, how iphone-friendly is the car? I am a heavy iphone user while driving for musics and GPS. |
