Actually is not issue or no issue... It is that it doesn't affect any more than 1% on Honda vehicles which implements MAF sensor and MAP sensor... If your intake manifold and throttle body is still stock, the is no air velocity changes... Therefore no gain (or negligible gain if you will)... And the oil from filter will pretty much clog up the throttle body in long term...

Yes, stock filter overpriced... But it is much much more cheaper if you buy outside at official stockist... If really wanted to go for drop in, get some others that only need washing but not oiling... Then that will save you money on replacing, while negating the oil effect... And for vehicles like Insight, the MAF sensor is pretty much important for the accurate mixing of optimum AFR.

how much k&n filter

Bro, after the RESET CVTF message to comes out, how do I 'choose' & 'select' YES?
Thanks

to choose your selection, use the UP n DOWN button in front of the steering. to select YES pull forward the RESET button located just behind the UP n DOWN button.

yesterday i was stuck in the jam for quite long. i was on eco mode and of course will engage to autostop for each stop (my each stop really take quite a while, at least 1 minute), and to one point of time when in the middle of autostop, my car engine started fire up again, but the sound is different this time, the sound had more acceleration power on it, and what's more? the acceleration did not stop, the RPM maintain at more than 1000. i quickly scroll the panel and notice the batt has gone completely EMPTY. yeah so i immediately know that the acceleration was to charge the batt. but am wondering, what has caused the batt to drain so much during autostop and jam?

another thing is, while my batt was empty, driving with it means the power is back to 1.3. seriously, the car really feels like cant move at all O_O, and i can tell u guys, driving the car without the batt aint fun

I also observed when heavy traffic jam, battery tends to drain heavily, although I do not notice the IMA assist kick in as well (where the battery power goes?), I'm not sure why and the mechanism behind.

must be stuck in federal highway batu tiga toll? saw a few insight stuck there with me

the turn off the ECON mode

just accentually scratch my car, any paint refinement for minor scratch? can find in Jusco or Ace?

I was about to post the same problem as I did encountered the last nite during a traffic jam with econ mode on. The battery is completely depleted. So strange .. make me worry.

meguiar scratch x 2.0 / turtle wax scratch remover. among others.

For the battery drain problem in heavy jam, it is because you still running your audio system and etc etc... One thing to remember, your hybrid doesn't come with alternator as normal car would, the IMA motor itself acts as alternator to charge your 12v... There for, in heavy jam it is difficult for the IMA motor to charge the 12v since you are not moving anywhere enough for the IMA motor to do enough charging, moreover ECON mode will shut off engine. You guys know for ordinary car, when the engine is running then the alternator runs together to provide alternate current to all your accessories right? While the same time charge the 12v. Therefore, during such situation, turn off ECON so that engine won't stop and the your accessory will source power from 12v instead of IMA battery. Of it the IMA battery already low, just do your manual charging by revving.

So is normal... no panic ok...

Yes, no panic no problem.. Just turn off ECON, or if you find it low already when you realize just do manual charging, it will rise back very fast, faster than you can imagine. That's why like on CRZ, they put on Sport mode in heavy jam instead.

guys, what is your mileage when u first noticed that the IMA baterry went totally depleted. mine is 11k now, and i havent had my IMA go kaput (no battery).

Mine is now 19k.. going for 20k service. This is the first time I did encounter. It did make u panic for a while when this happen. So for every insight owner... stay calm .. dun fire through the panel ... look out for traffic.

it's a deep scratch, can't use scratch remover.

If deep scatches, already "masuk tulang", then only to say, leave it and wait for long term respray... If small dot still can touch up but I doubt so...

But then, ordinary polish do can minimize the effect...
