Not many brands offer 5w30 locally, hence you have limited choices...

Furthermore, it is increasingly important to use better or higher quality engine oil if we are going for lower viscosity grade, such as 5w30.... You have even less number of choices....

Now, how do you tell it is good?

First- You read their specification/datasheet and try to find out what standards they meet....

Many lubricant companies, including those very famous one would tell you that they meet certain spec and standards.... but there is no third party standard body to support the claim, you just have to believe what the marketers tell you what they have, your purchase will base solely on your faith.

Second- you look for engine oil that has proper certification from independent third party standard bodies, such as API, ILSAC, GM Dexos, JASO, Honda HTO-06 and etc...

Not sure full tank how many litres, some said 45, some said 48L. I always pump the petrol after the fuel light start blinking. FC always display 10.9L
Mostly I drive at heavy traffic hour at Island. Time to work still ok, but lunch time and after working hour is the worst. Imagine i can smoke 3~5 dunhill on the way home from georgetown area to tanjung bungah.
Btw, to me,  drive home after some beers around 2am, open the sunroof and side windows, have some ciggarates is the most enjoying thing i have with this car.

Things that noticed after using 5w30: it's better than 10w40, feel more smooth and very less clancking sound of timing chain in the first starting early morning 

What do you think my queue number 2843 is for? I booked mine on 14th July 2012 and you booked yours on 22nd July 2012...does it make sense if its for 1.8 creamy white?

Didnt i say i just called customer service??? Who do you think would have told me the delivery is expected to be in dec??

Bro, service centre uses 10w40? If yes, wont it void the warranty?

bro..our service interval is 1k, 5k then 10k right ?

i used helix ultra at 5k service (odo read 5k+) and i just noticed they written on service sticker, next service is 10k+, it should be 15k+ or 6 months right ?

I think they force you to do service every 5k so they can earn from maintenance.

no body answer my q previously. i just got to know that mazda provide 3 years free maintenance to its car. what about elantra? got such offer?

Hi Sifus,

I'm a newbie and an interested future buyer for the HE. It looks damn nice and sexy. Just want to get some info from professionals.

1) Would you guys recommend 1.6 High Spec or 1.8 Premium? I'm in a dilemma. I'm only interested in the GPS, rear camera or Bluetooth in the 1.8 Premium. Is it possible to just install those stuffs. The rest I don't think it's practical for me, reason as one of the sifu had mentioned.

2) Any good dealers/SA/branch to recommend in Johor Bahru?

Consider very high FC. Abit upset because with new engine design, the FC still cannot compare to CIVIC or ALTIS for city drive. How much you can get (for city driving) after 1K Service maintenance? Anyone can share?

And what is the FC for city drive after 5K and above? Hope the user can share with me.
