What I can see is what u see too, which is Honda probably due to their high sale volume especially the evergreen city, can sell their own brand full synthetic engine oil at very low price. Thrown in the mix is more free labour for alternate 10k service in the 1st 100k km. Something that Conti including VW may find hard to compete due to the smaller local sales volume. Coincides with that is the kind of royalty programme they can provide with free vouchers, etc. There is just no economy of scale for conti. PERIOD. If that is the conclusion, I can concede.

But then again is Civic giving away 1st year insurance and road tax? Hmmmmm.......any idea?

Jeez read harder... I said brand not produced. It is like GSK (Glaxosmithkline) producing Horlicks and Ribena. The latter 2 are brands. GSK is producer.

With the voucher, I think we can conclude the 1st 10k is RM180 for Civic. But it will go up for later service. Speaking of voucher. Need to check with my pug bro. I come across some other model owners using a voucher booklet at the Pug service centre. Anyone any idea how those things come from and how they work?

Well. You brought it up .....just do me a favour read harder. Kay? I believe Honda having it branded Honda, a more familiar brand create pychological effect to Honda's supporter else Honda would not call it their genuine HONDA fully synthetic Engine oil in their website, in the packaging, and YES sell it over their service centres as Honda's engine oil, etc. and I suspect ( emphasise the word suspect) it was produced for Honda to honda's spec, yes /no?

You can always count on lowpro on this sort of thing. Great stuff , just one more question, how to get one?

Hi bro

For the sake of fuel saving and environmental concern aka lower emission, I would love to see hybrid models from conti but here in Msia there is almost next to none for conti. For japs yes, aplenty.

VW offers hybrid version of Toureg. But just one model.

The last any hybrid was mentioned by Peugeot was Nasim said only studying the possibility of bringing in 3008 HYbrid4 in April 2011, but no news since then. Hell, we are only just seeing Turbodiesel for 508 GT and 508 SW GT finally here in Malaysia since last year June.

So hybrid is so ruled by the japs here. If u r saying Civic Hybrid.... Hmmm. Yes may becfor some but not my cup of tea. I still like Conti best particularly Pug or Citroen.

None was offered when I bought my 408. If can't get one AFTER sales then, sounds like a dead end, sigh.....

I am keeping my options open in whether owning it for 5 years or keep it for as long as the lion heart is still beating strong. The short to mid term future is kind if in a haze so I will take one day at a time. As far as brought own oil, have to admit I have not thought about that and judging from how ill informed the service agent has been, I don't think I can get an affirmative answer easily. I can anticipate and imagine a blank face even now. I will ask next with the service manager , thanks for pointing it out as an alternative.

I think as far as outside workshop, There were quite a few mentioned now and then in other pug models thread here at lowyat.net. Why ? You want to introduce yours? Speaking of which how VW's take on this matter?

Great stuff, approved oil list for top up only still sounds better than not allowed anything at all.

Good to know, can attempt to ask to get the same treatment from Pegeot Blue Boxes. even top up 0.25L a time will still save some dough

Never notice really but since the wipers swings open like spread eagle instead of left right left right, can it be the reason why it form V or W as its trail of water mark line?

it smiles at you and say have a good day

Oh it is the smiley 207 ! Tot it was 408. My mistake. Honestly dunno much about 207, sorry?!

KS no mo now sing Huat premium. Good reference though, thanks
