..... to avoid issues concerning warranty claims in future....

So they are not telling it will void the warranty but maybe an issue with the warranty claim in the future and I am very sure if you write a letter to them they wont confirm that in writing.

lol..the problem is that there is no email address published in their official website and neither in anywhere you can find it..
so, just screw it...since the SC in Klang allow us to extend up to 7km for using semi-sync engine oil, just switch over to there lor..considering their quality of service is better also

The SC is coy about the actual mileage for servicing. This may interest you http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/owners/partsan...priceservicing/ This only happens where the government is interested in protecting the consumers rights.


And compare the maintenance cost of Insight and Accord 2.4.

For Insight RM8141.65

For Accord 2.4 RM7130.70

The difference is RM1100 but okaylah over 48 months. Just about 100 plus full tank of fuel. rclxub.gif

well, I made a call to HM customer service this morning to enquire about this
According to HM, it is made compulsory for every customers to come back to the SC for car servicing on every 5KM milage/3 months basis whichever comes first to avoid issues concerning warranty claims in future

so, regardless what type of engine oil you use (ie mineral, semi sync or full-sync), u will still need to change it at every 5km interval...so, we can actually opt for the mineral oil for Honda Insight since the lifespan allowed is only 5KM or mayb switch to the SC in Klang  biggrin.gif

btw, how did you get the additional RM 40 voucher? I've asked HM to check for me and they told me that the only voucher that HM would provide is the RM20 voucher which I have already used it... ohmy.gif

The recent batch of Insight owners are approached to fill up a survey form at a website.

It is to rate the competence of the SA primarily. If we rate them well, they will be allocated more cars. So, most SAs actually offer to fill it up for the owners.

We will be contacted by a 3rd party to verify if we filled up the forms ourselves. They will ask what type of questions were asked, what did we rate, our particulars and so on.

yeah..so, it means that we are forced to pay for the unnecessary engine oil change for such a short interval
although we are benefited through the free import duty scheme from the government but that doesn't mean HM could slaughter our $$ paying for unnecessary maintenance this way vmad.gif

Not only that! HM has disabled the multi info display which will provide you the information about the engine oil lifespan. If you look at the manual all insight cars are monitored by the on board computer for maintenance. It will automatically remind you for service or whenever the engine oil quality drops. The only function I can change is the lock time, lights and the speedo colour. So why did HM disable the function?

BTW, is the toll free line working?

Turn your ignition key to II on. Turn press info and down. Sometimes, press rel/sel button and down. You will see few functions there.

The auto lock function is for the timer of 30 sec for the car to relock if you fail to open any doors after you disarm the alarm . Yes, accessories mode II ON. I bought mine in Malaysia. I didnt change the light mode because wasnt really sure what they do. Just play with it. There's nothing you can do wrong by resetting a few things except for the A and B mileage.


If I remember correctly, you cannot burn your gearbox by driving S mode. There is an inbuilt limiter which will cut off if you hit the limit. Insight is fully computerized and controls the engine and the battery for safety and it is hard for us to abuse it.
