so now u're at 5000 km right? and you just follow their recommendation to use Mineral Oil? its no problem since my SA also suggested me to use Mineral Oil in my next 5k km service as well (now i'm at 2.5k KM and expect it to get over 3k after my trip this weekend)... he told me that on the 10,000km service then only consider to use either semi-sync or full-sync... but no reason given as of why recommended at 10,000km? anyone can enlightened me as of the reason? (apart from it will cost more )
.
- as for balancing... last time i just said i'll do outside... the SA said ok.....

aha... thanks will check there.. will try to get under the car to confirm it

thanks

nope. Cost is the only reason

as good reason enough for me..

so no visible impact to the engine if using Mineral correct? my SA strongly suggest to use Mineral.. maybe he wanted to help me save some $$ as well....

previous vios.. i stick to semi-sync sine the first service until around 40k km service... now new owner .. i have no idea on which oil he uses...

i DIY also use CRC air flow cleaner....

My gf just got her new Vios, but no auto locking, then call back the sales advisor and he said it is new rules that government ask Toyota to remove all the autolocks. System.

Got such thing ?

Bro, actually where is the MAF locate. tq

err.... from what my Service Agent told me... they decided to disable the feature (or remove it) due to complaints from owner that the system might go psycho on a rare occasion.... i for one really missed the feature and previously it never failed me ...

but now with the new vios.. just need to remember to lock it... but hmm i cant seems to remember that once we manually lock it.. will it automatically unlock once the engine is off? i believe its not... so no safety la like this... hmmm..

here you go (the closest UK to us is the Yaris, exactly the same thing don't worry)

Already confident that my FC will improve since yesterday

Note: New Vios owners no need

Haiyo i c all forumers here sumtime service their car oso so "headache"

Sum use mineral, sum use semi/full sync....which 1 better lar???

if i am going for my first 1K service, which is better (cost not realli matters)

p/S---i heard if use mineral oil then cannot go above level 3K RPM but if use semi/full, can hentam kau kau in order to smoothen the piston o sth like dat lar...can sum1 verify this ??

how ar??mineral *** or semi/full???

umw simply just want to cut cost for the new vios.. luckily my vios still have this auto-lock feature..

no la...1.3cc car standard use mineral oil...if u drive 120 kmh, rpm already 3.5k....still ok ma

so for your 5K using mineral la ekk.... i might be going the mineral way in my 5K service...see how the condition when i hit 5K.. now at around 3K this weekend should reach 4.5K.. long trip planned!!
i guess you can be the benchmark already since you really kaw kaw tekan your accelerator.... and if you're using Mineral no problem then should be ok to go ahead with Mineral....

according to the Service Agent.. for 1K service.. they recommend to use mineral since you're going to replace the oil again at 5K (4K away).. so he said (at least my SA) to use mineral first.. then when you hit at least 5K/10K then can consider to use Semi/full sync.... i guess i'm following their recommendation la kot..


agreed... and lucky for you also.... i missed the auto-lock

4k mileage, my car engine not smooth anymore...fuel still ok if just maintain 120kmh..3-4 bar left if from putrajaya to kedah....if 140kmh, fuel suck...just wait for 10k service, using semi syntetic oil...

blk kg aritu, fulltank dpt la +-630km...bwk bse2 je....80-120km/j je....

msa servis 40k aritu ade tnye ngn org kt SC tu...diorg kata minyak toyota mineral/semi/fully sumenya tahan 10k...MINYAK TOYOTA SAHAJA...tu kata dia la...tp aku cm xbp nk pcaya je...aku duk pkai semi ni, start 7k da berat gler rsa....

yeah... agreed that the toyota fully synthetic oil is seriously crap... FC starts to increase after 7k km
pickup decrease

sorry typo error...sy gune semi oil jer... tp mmg ade dgr jgk org gune fully, tp 7k cmtu da berat... pastu blh plak SA ckp gune mineral pn tahan 10k...

this weekend will see if my FC from Kedah to Sungai Besi improved.... will try to follow the speed limit...
me also cant wait to get to semi-sync...

yup.. pelik my SA also claimed like that... Mineral can go to 10K.. but aku atak percaya.. so will stick to my every 5K change oil routine on which ever oil i use (mineral/semi-sync)

FC increase and pickup decrease is not good at all....!!!
what about their semi-sync.. still acceptable but still not until 10K right?

time to change to other brand...
