the ideal pressure is
front 34 psi/235kpa and rear 33psi/230kpa

sometimes lazy just put 33 psi all around. get a tyre pressure gauge (digital) to check.
99% our petrol station air pump is not accurate.

When they tell us to write down the color and spec, make it sounds like we are going to win.

I always use ful syn red cap (5W)
*
using fully syn (red cap) SL5W40 is useless for hybrid. the oil is too thick for our engine and for regular daily drive car. There is no need such high heat resistant and etc.. needed for hybrid engine and in fact it will make ur engine feel sluggish and high fuel consumption.

Their newly launch fully syn (green cap) some say is semi-syn (SM0W20) is good enough and perfect for our engine.

The newly launch also Eco Friendly SM5W30, too me i think is still too thick for our 1.3 engine hybrid.

Put a 1 farad or 2 farad capacitor in the ride should have no problem. As I said, I see a constant 13.7 ~ 13.8v voltage from my player even the car stop the engine at traffic lights. So no worries biggrin.gif


Added on September 27, 2012, 4:40 pmor better still, use an Optima battery replacing the 12V battery when it is going to be gone.

Change to civic battery. The guys in insight central does it and it improves allot.

You meant change to lithium-ion battery? Or the 12V battery (from 40 to 60)?

Civic 12v battery. Yup 60L. It's a tight fit. Have to loose the battery black plastic cover.

I think its the 8 spark plugs, fuel filter, and CVTF. (if its for manual CRZ as manual tranny oil cheap). Correct me if im wrong with the spark plug counts.
*
spark plugs only change at 100k mileage

The reason why is so expensive at 40k service for insight is because they added in the fuel filter cost rm 3++, cvtf cost rm 1++, air con service and aircon filter cost rm 4++ and air filter cost rm 1++ and taxes and labour.

where by, jazz hybrid and crz fuel filter can change later around 60k to 70k mileage.

dun get trick by them HONDA ASS, u have the option to change the filters later. dun have to follow 100% from the service book.

wow...that does not include the cost for the engine oil and oil filter yet...
my next cycle of service would be 40k....hopefully can move fuel filter replacement to other service
otherwise, its gonna be a real pain in the ass... cry.gif
*
u can move the fuel filter change at 45, 50, or later...
maybe 45k, do aircon and 50k do fuel filter


Added on October 2, 2012, 12:59 pmHow often should my vehicle's air conditioning systems be serviced?

A. Unlike the domestic fridge, automotive air conditioning systems operate in a harsh environment and are subject to moisture, vibration, extremes of temperature and mechanical shock. Service intervals can vary depending on the conditions of use and the annual mileage of the vehicle. For average use and 12,000 miles a year intervals of every 12 months to 18 months should be sufficient to ensure the air conditioning and all components operate at maximum efficiency. Vehicles that are used off-road or have annual mileages of over 24,000 miles should be serviced more often.

not needed as my HU is monitoring the voltage of the car battery from player itself. Moreover I have capacitor which has kept extra battery power for my ICE. smile.gif

u may putting more stress on the ima battery. since ima re-chargers the 12v battery. if 12v battery gets weak, ima be generating more time to re-charge the 12v, and thats when ima drop to 1 bar or it keep regen very often..

Any advise how to prevent it?
