May i know what engine oil u use and what petrol u pump? I have driven CVT car over 5 years and didnt have to bother with pedal practice. Very smooth. How to reduce the jerkie braking and autostop? Quite annoying...but I dont want to shift to S. I like the engine auto-off...just that I wish to reduce the autostart vibration. Thanks for ur input.

What's the stock engine oil tat comes with our HCH?
I read ppl at 10k km changed to 0-20w which result in smoother cvt drive...

The stock oil that came with HCH are Mineral Oil. In fact, all new Honda cars use Honda Mineral Oil as stock until the next km change which the mechanic will ask owner if want to change so that the service sentre makes extra money.

I see....saw there are two full synthetic oil.....0-20w and 5w-40....
Which one u guys using at next oil change?

Anyone done any soundproofing to reduce tyre noise? I sat at the back seats and I could hear the tyre noise is noisier at the back compared to the front.

rear trunk soundproof should be able to solve your problem...

After first oil change at 10k, use 0W-20 as suggested by Honda. I felt the car somehow lost power.

Oh dear. I wonder how this could happen. Does the FC improve with the use of 0w-20 (full-sync) ?

Can someone else share their experience after 10,000 km change of oil to either Mineral or Full-Sync?

appreciate if you can share the FC...

using 0w20 confirm will lost power compare to the mineral oil due to the oil density...
perhaps, 5w40 might be a better choice?

I guess 5w40 will be better choice still fully synthetic n also better anti wear

Car lost power but FC seems reduced also. Before 10k oil change, averagely city drive at 17.x km/l. Now can run on 18.x-19.x km/l. If the city drive does not involve a lot of full stop, just crawling smoothly at 30-50kmh, the FC can be 23km/l.

yes, 0w20 is specially blend for hybrid cars... definitely will be better in terms of FC...

but i just wondering is it 5w40 suitable for the hybrid... my house myvi with 5w40 eneos doing very well...

and the density of 5w40 is thicker, hence better protection for the engine from wear and tear...

is the power lost very significant?

Honda told me that the 5w40 is RM199 while 0w40 is RM129 and yes they also recommend the 5w40 for better protection especially for Honda Type R. So its up to customer to choose.

Power loss is kinda significant to me. However ride is smooth after it has picked up the speed, example cruising at 90-110kmh.

yea, the grip is not there for the engine piston to pick up...

but i am quite suprise with the price tag if the oil... i think i gonna tried on 5w40... since my monthly mileage wont exceed 1500km, guess wont be a big impact for me in terms of FC

I use like 2500km per month. Don't mind the power loss though, I'm not driving a Civic Type R anyway. I'm more concern the FC.

But isn't anti wear of 0w20 lesser than 5w-40. Hence save in terms of FC...but will it causes more wear?
How different is the FC of 0w20 vs 5w40?

Let's wait for anyone using 5w40 to comment their FC. I'm using 0w20 in my first 10k service.

Guys, my SC just text me to inform that Civic Hybrid is now RM177K, and stock will be only available around June'14!

i also receive the same news... really lmao...
perhaps, possible to CKD for the model?
