oops..sorry..i mean distilled water...the one that we can drink like cactus or spritzer brand with the blue cover...anyway l2k..what engine oil are u use for the first 1K service..to me want to try magnetac 5w30 for the second 5K service..just want to share

I use Diamond water

Seems like you guys also experience coolant level become lower and need to refill with water ? Maybe I give my SC a call tomorrow to confirm if it is "normal", just to be cautious as still under warranty period.

I used SC shell helix semi, since 5k need to do service again. It is wasteful to use fully. But I feel the engine oil is not good, 10W40 is a bit heavy, feel the throttle a bit sluggish before change. Plan to use own oil, still surveying which brand is good.

OK thanks so much for sharing info

Oh, by the way, owner manual is recommending 5W-20 or 5W-30. Don't know why SC recommend shell oil as their semi (hx7) is 10W-40 and fully (helix ultra) is 5W-40. Both is "thicker" than recommended SAE which may cause higher fuel consumption.

Will bring my own oil at 5K service I guess, I know some owners have done so..

I booked my 1.6HS last two weeks. SC said will get it in 1-2 months.

How to get front camera and sensor for 1.8.

i'm interested on this too

you mean the car price is no increased? Sure?!!!

Yeah..that's why mine use Helix X7 10W40 for the 1st service..but then SC said that we can bring our own oil for the next service but SC will charges extra RM5..thats why for the 5000km service i'll try magnatec 5w30 (semi) as recomended in manual

Added on July 31, 2012, 9:42 amI'm going for my 5000 service this week. Gonna use Petrol-Canada 5W-30.
What is written in the manual actually had been "changed" to suit/complies to Shell Helix.
As I mentioned in earlier post, Shell don't even fulfill to API standard needless to say GF.

But then again they are considered Group3 because they managed to slip pass the minimum requirement for the VI standard. Not many local manufacturers complies to this API standard actually. Cause they just did a in-house test and claim that their fuel is good. But what's the point if they don't have a 3rd party international certification to prove it.

Anyway, your move of bringing your own oil is right bro. Which SC you go to?
