I'm using the 0W-20 as well now after 2000km+ (which is actually 5k service but my mileage is low)
The FC is the same when my City came out from factory with the mineral.
Driving style is the same.
Feel a bit waste of money..lol
*
Not sure your case, but mine case I use 0W-20 on 5k service and feel the FC got significantly improve. Then on 10k service my mom drive the car and went service and since she don't know what I engine I had used so she choose the cheapest want which is mineral and when I drive after the service without asking her I know the engine oil should be either mineral or semi-sync due to the FC increase. When 15k service I changed back to 0W-20 and feel the the FC improve again, last few weeks I pump full tank petrol and drive from Penang to KL halfway went out at Ipoh to eat breakfast when arrive KL still got another half tank so in mine case 0W-20 is work.

Vivahill Auto in Penang, I didn't ask to get the bottle, so unclear what's the real engine oil they give me.
Your warranty over already?
Using non Honda engine oil will void your warranty.
Over warranty can just bring to outside workshop, cheaper a lot.

City needs 4L

I service mine at Kulim Magna Speed and BM JM Motor Venture. Maybe next time you should ask them take note before pass them the key. I also never ask for the remaining because I don't even know will left extra, perhaps I will try ask for it on the coming service.

Bro, what happened with the Vivahill? I also service there. I didn't ask to get the left of the engine oil as well in my 5000 service. Actually... I also feel the same with you. After changing the engine oil, I can't feel any fuel save increasing... I also not sure how good will the fuel save if using the Fully Synthetic one.
*
Which type engine oil you use?

im using torco 5W-40 on my car now. clocked 87K on odo

performance increased a lot compared to the previous 0w-20 oil from honda. fc also increase but jz slightly
*
Hey, since you brought your own engine oil to service I have a question that is it won't void our car warranty if we not using Honda engine oil?

QUOTE(ascll @ Oct 29 2013, 09:12 PM)
Thanks for sharing  biggrin.gif
Let us know the result once you changed to 5W-40
*
Finally 20k service on Friday booked appointment on 11am reach on time but due to too many people only done at 4pm wasted all my time just sitting there and wait got nothing to do doh.gif Changed from 0W-20 to 5W-40 and after 2 days of inspection, the car response get quicker and FC only slightly increase. The response to me is wow but not OMG lol, VTEC kick in more easily compare to last time when I was using 0W-20. Conclusion car response get more instant VTEC kick in easily and FC only get slightly increase.

Between for reference my 20k service include balancing alignment & rotation, 0W-20 engine oil, oil filter, gear oil, air filter and air con filter total RM600++. I removed the aircon filter which already cost RM180 itself, left RM400++ but change from 0W-20 to 5W-40 which the final price is RM500++. Now pocket bleeding already sweat.gif

More or less the same like me, mine's slightly worse at 300~320km before the indicator lights up.
Using 0W20 Fully synthetic oil, last time was on normal mineral, FC didn't improve.
Tried Shell, Caltex, Petronas and Petron, don't know what's the problem or the FC it's like that already. sad.gif
*
Your driving style? City drive all the time? Because last time when I using 0W20 fully-sync engine oil did bring me a very good FC, now using 5W40 performance got better but FC slightly higher for my eco driving style but if driving a bit more aggressive the FC will increase higher I think it's because VTEC kick in easily hmm.gif

My driving style is quite conservative, only rev higher when overtake, but this is like only 5%.
70% City drive, 30% highway.
I don't rev high as our City low end torque is weak, but consistently I'm stuck in traffic jam in Penang.

Anyone has done any mod or remapping the ECU for better low end torque? Or it is limited by our engine and can't be changed?
*
One of the way to solve low end torque use 5W40 fully sync engine oil thumbup.gif Stuck at traffic jam is one of the factor causing FC to increase, I din't mod anything. I saw some City driver here mention before grounding cable could help FC if not mistaken?

Was thinking to change from 0W20 to the semi-synthetic on my next service instead  laugh.gif
5W40 is quite expensive at RM2xx if not mistaken?

I've read about voltage stabilizer + grounding cable before, the result varies from different car and driver, so not sure if it really helps.
I think it improves more on ICE and maybe just a tad bit in FC and torque, or they are just placebo effect.
*
5W40 I pay only around RM140/150 due to got 20% discount, where you service your car at? Did you check and see when they change the engine oil or request for the remaining? Last few weeks when I service my car 20K I straight go to behind and check if they use the correct engine oil and also straight ask the technician put the remaining to my car but left a little bit only. Yours service got any discount?

I didn't check them as I just pass my key to them and leave, I didn't wait at the service center nor request for the remaining oil, will do so next time.
I service at Vivahill Auto, Penang, and they don't allow customer to walk into their workshop.
*
I service mine at Kulim Honda Magna Speed and BM Honda JM Motor, these both service center I just walk directly into their workshop to see my car so far haven't get chased out yet lol but of course not all the time watching them just sometimes walk in and walk out because too free got nothing to do sweat.gif Did you do any modification to your car?

i juz wan to ask...if we change the engine oil at the SC, is it any balance of new oil or they will use it until finish..never request the remaining oil before but planning to do it during the next service...so just to make sure there is remaining oil or they will say the fill up new oil until finish?  rclxub.gif
*
There will be remaining a bit left, you have to request from them otherwise they will just keep it/throw it. They won't pour until finish they will only pour until reach the level then they will stop pouring in anymore. smile.gif

It's a known issue that the radio reception of City is not as good as other cars.
