Wah, so fast jual kereta kah?

Hi compression is for lean combustion, turbo for power (torque).

In research, everythg can be done, however in day to day use, reliability is a priority.

Im waiting for Nissan variable compression ratio engine to begin with. I wonder why they make it variable ratio?

The heck... your son better becareful. Riding a motorcycle is more dangerous.

Not those sport bikes is it?

As long as dun rempit ok la.

One of the forummers Quazacolt in recent months got involved in a hit and run incident. So, must be very very careful even if not rempit.

hey guys....

some good / great news man... for those who purchased GE8 1.5 Petrol only la. I had a used car dealer evaluate my wife's car recently and to my amaze, it still can fetch rm 50k!!!! Not bad eh... but mine is low mileage with full Honda service la.

To me, the jazz holds its resale value quite well. But I couldn't say the same for the hybrid version la...

How is 0w-20 if cheaper than RM100 per bottle? At Honda SC the price of fully synthetic oil after GST is RM129. It is recommended for Jazzers to use 5w-30 and semi is enough right.

Actually that is for LEV honda hybrid models.

Just that i dunno why they can take it for non LEV models and use.

is it really save fuel?

anyone upgraded their stock tires?

time to change new shoes for my V spec.

planning to upgrade the size on stock rims.

195/55R16?
195/50R16?
Or 205/50/R16?
Any recommendation guys?

Personally i think 185 abit narrow, slightly bumpy when driving at high speed.

I doubt it is going to do much harm if one does their maintenance on time.

Basically the whole idea behind it is to improve fuel economy.

As long as the oil is not going past the skirts on the piston ring and getting burned off. I am actually ok with it.

I run redline's 0w-20 btw. Tried moty's as well. It is possiblee to run 0w-20. Just that the honda one seems not to be able to stand up to extended usage

U seldom drive dun say la.

It is not like rn50 on ron95 can stretch to 900km also.

Have u sold ur car yet?

Out of curiosity, what's the price that you are looking at?

I think there is where your problem is. It might be too high for a loan of they loan very high amounts.

Sounds like bad news

The car is designed to use 0W-20. Why use thicker oil than what is it designed for?

FYI this chart is only recommended reference for start-up of the vehicle.

When the ambient temperature is 5 degree Celsius, we know 0W-20 provides a better start-up than 5W-40 of the same grade oil. When the ambience temperature is 40 degree Celsius, the start-up is not much difference between the two. I think we all know this principles well.

The car should have an operating temperature of around 90 degree Celsius. When a car is running, the ambient temperature is pretty negligible contribution towards engine temperature. The oil is designed to keep running at the this optimum operating temperature, be it ambient temperature is 10 degree or 40 degree Celsius. Your car works the same way as your body. Your body temperature don't go up to 40 degree Celsius just because ambient temperature is 40 degree Celsius. That's why your car's temperature sensor always read a constant 90 degree Celsius. You don't see your car's engine gives you a reading of 100 degree Celsius, just because of an extremely hot day, unless your water pump/temperature sensor is faulty. So the assumption of 'my car runs hotter on a hot day, and a more viscous oil needed' is basically flawed.

The key to select a proper engine oil spec is always refer back to the car manual. It is written as 0W-20, which means the engineers have done enough testing to tell you what is the best for the engine.

Of course there are many drivers out there prefer to stick to thicker oils, mainly due to perception issues. However, scientifically the manufacturers have been telling you what is good for your car.
