We don't need syn oil. The manual recommend 0W-20http://www.honda.com.my/insight/extra/maintenance/ detergent oil displaying the API Certification Seal. |

QUOTE(jtlim98 @ Oct 31 2011, 03:53 PM) Wooo...test drive Toyota Prius yesterday...not bad especially start engine (no sound) but Insight much more comfortable... Probably leather seat I never test drive Prius... but the interior of prius make me so envy, so nice!!! ... our insight is distance away .  Very quiet indeed but when you accelerate, you can hear the engine roaring a bit...don't like the sound...prefer insight more... Ask the salesman about the incident in Kerinchi highway where prius caught fire(first in the world). It is because that fella change the radio into navi radio cum touch screen. Somehow the wiring touch the high voltage and caught fire I think. Salesman no comment Did check the engine bonnet, very complex. Not as simple as insight. Modification is hard and at your own risk as the generator is beside the engine(High Voltage). Still prefer insight...sportier...easier to mod and comfortable... That's my opinion....   no choice.. 40k different. lol |

Yes...dashboard looks futuristic but not colorful...Still like Insight... no choice.. 40k different. lol Oh, ya talking of distance Prius air cond is one of a kind...Can work even engine idle or stop... Very cold indeed and powerful...doesn't use radiator coolant...use wind/air...that's what salesman told me... another Toyota technology... Don't worry, insight dashboard is much much better than Nissan Teana.... 70K++ different Did test drive but not me...My bro did... Me seat back seat and watch...

The "Blue" day light you are referring are done at KL Auto.PM the fella with the blue Daylight(Looks fit into Insight) but no reply.... The white Daylight is from someone in Penang but I'm in KL... too far... using Philips daylight 5 LED Checked it out the other day, look nice in pic, perfect fit, but in real look a bit out of place under naked eye. Drop by KLAUTO and check it out if it fits your eyes. |

If HM say "ok", then i will opt for mineral oil next service. SAVE! |

I prefer Insight dashboard over prius too.
Prius dashboard looks boring and the huge meter in the middle is kinda ugly imho. |

A suggestion: Can we compile the name of those who are active here according to their state so at least we know and much easier to get together. I prolly start the ball rolling
