QUOTE(infinitium @ Aug 21 2011, 01:25 PM) IMO... if we're changing engine oil every 5k, there's no need for fully-syn. semi-syn oil is more than enough to last the 5k service interval. The honda service package price stated is including using the mineral oil. If wanna to use semi-syn oil, need top up difference of RM20++. bear in mind most fully-syn oils are developed w/the idea that it will last for longer service intervals (10k++). Read somewhere, it mentioned that mineral oil is good for 5k, while semi-syn is 7-8k. Since we are force by Honda to service every 5k interval, why not use the default mineral oil instead? I will opt to use default mineral oil for my 15k service n see the difference... update u guys then.. or anyone tried? |

QUOTE(westlife @ Aug 22 2011, 01:02 PM) i tot inisght is default semi-syn one. Hmm.. checked from the honda website for honda insight maintenance, but top up rm20++ is cheap anyway. i would rather treat my insight nicer by letting it to drink a better engine oil despite we do service at every 5k. Added on August 22, 2011, 1:06 pm yeah, even u didn't add on the windscreen coverage, u can still claim from ur msig or tokio marine, just that ur NCD voided only. lucky i insured my windscreen. there are owner from cari already done the repair for his windscreen. "大镜是rm3700， 装工rm2++， 加service charge， 总共rm4000。加上tint rm280。 我的大镜等了2个月多，claim保险rm4000， 自己出rm280" http://cforum1.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?...&extra=&page=14 Added on August 22, 2011, 1:13 pmany uses the feature of reset trip a after refuel for meter A? Prices quoted are for genuine HONDA Mineral Oil, Oil Filter & Economical Coolant (Type 1). |

QUOTE(jacek @ Sep 1 2011, 11:14 AM) Honda Insight year to date sales rank #23 with 2335units sold up to June 2011. Sales in June seen shot up high compared to prior month in view of production resumed back to normal. Not impressive. Shall the maintenance cost is lower, more ppl will embrace the Hybrid technology.http://motortrader.com.my/Cars/NewsHeader/...ing-models.aspx |

Woke up this morning and found that my rear right hand side tire is total flat! Drove slowly slowly to the petrol station very near by (<100m) and inflate the tire. Drove to the nearest tire shop for checkup. It was found that a piece of small plastic like those from broken car lamp was stuck inside. The tire was patched and it goes well for now but the worry part is it probably cannot last!! The mechanic told me that moving with a flat tire could hurt the internal "wall" .. and could probably heat up fast and go burst while traveling long distance... WORRY WORRY. How true is it?? only travel a short short distance with tire flat.. Is there any method that could check the internal tire and its durability? Will be waste for changing the tire of < 6 months old...

Honda already agree to her to replace her IMA battery... what else does she want more... pay for her petrol as well??? stupid... Good work!I also believe in Honda technology, cause I used to work for them (not anymore) and I know Honda has been conducting experiment on Hybrid in Malaysia for more than 10 years (yes in Malaysia it started on the 1.7 civic at year 2000) she is a golden egg owner, no one if perfect, I doubt that Latifah bi*ch is perfect... if people agree to take the responsibility then case close lah... I believe in give and take, and be reasonable or else people will start to treat you like a dog if you treat them like a DOG.... |

QUOTE(rigmortis @ Oct 6 2011, 11:23 AM) Do not be too over optimistic on the fuel savings you will get from an Insight. Myvi is relatively economical. Whatever savings you will make will be lost during the services. I am assuming your Myvi does not need to be serviced at Perodua SC anymore. Stay debt free... If your intention is to upgrade to car like vios, city, the < 100k car.. take Honda Insight. If you thinking of saving.. stick to your current myvi car.I had to change because my old car is starting to give me hefty repair bills and it is not able to cater for my needs. |

QUOTE(I-Kurosaki @ Oct 11 2011, 01:51 PM) This is a serious matter, bro. There are irregular practices among Honda service centers, even they are under the same umbrella. I think this due to the fact that HM has no direct control over the these SC, unlike UMW has over their SC whereby all of these SC's operation is being regulated by UMW. Correct me if I'm wrong. Yar. Is a huge issue if some SC allow 7k service interval and some not. Have anyone make a complain? What is HM feedback?To me, it seems like the dealers are actually running the show behind these SC. Why is it that I'm getting 7k service interval while others offer 5k service interval only? Worse, some didn't even return the balance engine oil. At least HM has to ensure service operation is standardize across all SC. |

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... |

QUOTE(n00b123 @ Oct 12 2011, 12:52 PM) hmnn...not aware of the additional RM40 voucher Will poke them the question during next service. But they will probably say is the "rule". What can you do then? 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? |

QUOTE(STC @ Oct 13 2011, 03:46 PM) My friend, I think you should enable the autolock function. the autolock function only works if you meet the followings:_ Thanks for sharing. Noob me.. after driving the car for 6 months only come to know this function. There are few occasion that the car autolock, i thought that the alarm must be having problem ! lol.1) You have armed the car using your remote. 2) You unlock/unarmed the car using the remote but you did not open the doors within 30 seconds. The car will relock and armed. It is very useful function in case you accidently press unlock button but you have no intention to open the car. There is no way you could lock the keys inside accidently with that function. The problem with Insight is the alarm got no sound when you open or close so that function helps to avoid unintentional unlocking.

QUOTE(STC @ Oct 15 2011, 04:53 PM) When you reach 180km/h. The engine cuts in and out due to the Limiter set by the car computer. See page 332 of the manual. So meaning to say that by showing this to the SC, we shall able to have longer service interval? Ok, important information to all about WARRANTY. At page 360 of the manual "HOWEVER, SERVICE AT A DEALER IS NOT MANDATORY TO KEEP YOUR WARRANTIES IN EFFECT" At page 363, service under severe condition is for every 5000KM or 6 MONTHS. HM must be hating me.  Added on October 15, 2011, 6:29 pm QUOTE(ZeroSP @ Oct 15 2011, 05:10 PM) As long as you are good with your service advisor, you are good to go...
