Yes.. Agreed... Ur FC is a direct reflection on the way u drive.. the higher ur FC, means something is wrong somewhere with the way u drive.. U might not be able to notice it, sometimes when u're cruising at different speeds it will give u a significant difference..

Yup.. Agreed with that also.. That's why I asked.. Is it true that the tyre can save petrol wan.. It is just malicious claim only..
Xan, I rarely drive fast at highway.. Most of the time 110-120.. Only a few times only go to 140 just for the sake of overtaking.. The main purpose is to get low FC..

U mean on the front fender? Or to apply tar coating?

It is more economical for u to drive at 120-125kmh than at 110 or 130kmh.. Try it.. laugh.gif

Both bitumen layer AND soundproof.. Bitumen outside, soundproof from the inside under the carpet around the wheel well..

QUOTE(Cavino @ Oct 23 2011, 07:12 AM)
If you gonna use ZE912, I would suggest Hankook V12 instead. For me, having tried both ZE912 and V12, I would say V12 beats 912 at almost ALL aspect. Used to be similarly priced. Not sure abt it nowadays since tyres prices rise like nobody's business.

Weakness of V12 is the road noise but 912 seems to produce equally bad road noise once you wear it down a bit. Cornering grip, hydrop
lanning min. and "yeng" looks (uni-directional gives EXCELLENT wet weather drive) all seems to favor V12 over 912. I'm  still using V12 for my City now. A bit soft sidewall tho thus have to pump a couple PSI more than usual but comfortable and absorb bumps quite well.

V12 mentioned a tech that eliminate/minimize uneven wear. Seems to work on my City coz always front tyres got uneven wear. Since using V12 for a couple of years, totally ZERO uneven wear on all my tyres.

Wait a minute....mmm...I don't think V12 has 60 height tyres....since my City is using 195/55/R15.
*
Which is exactly why I recommended 912 doh.gif And Hankook is priced above 912 now..

V12 now carries a premium of RM 30-50 on its' price tag per tyre over Falken ZE912. That's around RM 160 on average, and that's a lot of money for someone who is budgetting.

Same. About there also. But depends whether I drive in city or highway. City usually lower mileage due to traffic, deceleration and acceleration.

I stay very near that area only.. Samore now weekends and it just opened.. A lot of people lah.. But it's quite a nice mall, better than W.Walk in my opinion as the developer fully utilized the space.. W.Walk is a complete waste of space.. A lot of middle-priced shops and a few 'high-end' shop such as Santa Barbara Polo Club, etc.. Got Parkson and EconSave in there also..

Sold it off to a relative, and the car is now parked at my house/in my hands because my relative's house no place to park, and the management in his housing area is very strict when it comes to parking at the side of the road. On & off I'm driving the PE, and I'm juggling between 3 cars to drive now. The PE, Iswara (short distance only, probably to go tapau food and come back) and the Cayman. The PE now is stock-er than a normal M-line PE sweat.gif M-line PE with B-line rims, B-line exhaust system.

Manual/Auto? U sure 285KMs? That'll translate to about 5.7L/100KMs..

QUOTE(ultraman070 @ Oct 23 2011, 01:58 PM)
I going for my servicing next tue. I finish off my 20K major service with semi sy oil. Anyone can recommend me should i use semi or fully this time round? I going to Worldcare for service, which oil should I use?
*
This is very subjective. It depends on ur preference, and how long u're gonna wait until the next service. U said ur 20k service is with semi engine oil. So is this the 25k service or 30k service?

Let's just say that it is the 25k service for ur car. Plan and think ahead; when will u next service ur car?

It is recommended to service ur car every 5k KMs in order to maintain the engine smoothness, also not to drag the engine oil for too long as it may harm ur engine (i.e; debris & metal bits trapped inside, scratching the pistons, etc). It's ok, however, to service at 7k KMs interval if u have budget issues, but if possible, try NOT to follow the recommendation in the service booklet, which is to service on a 10k KMs interval after the 10k KMs service.

Let me sum it up for u:

If ur car now has already reached 10k KMs since ur major service, consider lowering ur service interval to 5k on ur next service. In this case, I recommend xW-40 weighted semi synthetic engine oil, as it is not worth using fully synthetic yet as this current service serves as an 'engine-cleaning' service.

If it has been 5k or 7k KMs since ur major service, then u may use either semi or fully synthetic engine oil at ur own discretion. U may have ur next service after 7k KMs. Make sure the engine oil is xW-40 weighted.

If budget is not an issue and performance is what u're seeking for, then with my pleasure, I humbly recommend xW-30 weighted, fully synthetic engine oil. However, it is crucial for u not to exceed 5k KMs when u're using xW-30 weighted engine oil as it is less viscous, thus causing higher wear rate on the engine internals. I've tried this with a xW-30 weighted Havoline before, engine behaves smoothly, lightly and more responsive.

As for brands, here are some recommendations by members in PPLYN (not in particular order):

1. Eneos
2. Castrol
3. Petronas
4. Caltex (my personal favourite of the lot)

AFAIK, there's only xW-50 weighted semi engine oil for Mobil. Not really recommended, although it is the standard specification used by Proton SCs. As for Shell, most PE drivers do not recommend it (u can check through the past dozen threads and read what these Shell Helix users' complaints have in common) including myself. My previous experience with Shell increased my FC and engine vibrations.

My personal recommendation for the fully/semi synthetic will be Caltex Havoline. Castrol Edge is another good engine oil, but available only in fully synthetic. Castrol Magnatec is a good oil if ur budget is low, and like the Castrol Edge, it is available only in 1 form in Malaysia; semi synthetic.

Hope this helps. smile.gif
