woah woah woah... calm down.... either oil works la.

As long as the appropriate steps are taken. The oil should not deteriorate too badly. I have been on 0w-20 since the 2nd or 3rd service and still running quite fine today. Maybe the honda fully synthetic doesn't really last as long as one would have wanted which is why i say appropriate steps are taken.

But, 20 or 30 weight oil works well. Not a lot of excessive burning off of the oil or anything so far. So, it should be fine for lugging around the city if you don't abuse the car a lot.

Bro.....how ur fuel consumption using 0w20?

Uhhhh,  i am not a good example as my driving is hyper erratic.

I jus give you readings based on the econogauge

Purely expressway at speed limits around 14kpl

City drive on good days like 1st work day after cny and raya around 12kpl

City drive with jam,  travel 10km in 30mins type around 9~10kpl

Giving it the beans, seen before as low as 5~6kpl

Tyre size not stock,  drop in filter, and some idiotic mods.

Not a good comparison with yours as i only have a 5AT la.

Your Jazz is the previous generation 5 Speed Auto ?

Yup GE8. Not a GK5.

I bought it not long after i saw Japan launched the GK which i didn't really like the look. And Honda also adjusted the price with the launch of CKD models. So, it just happened all at the right time.

Is the 5 Speed Auto GB noisy?

You mean explode as in sound or feel?

For sure conventional torque converters do not have that seamless smooth feel of CVT. But, whenever it does change up or down. There might be some slight jolts here and there. I believe the Accord range is among the smoothest of all Honda fleet. And you should not feel any jolts especially at the top range of the revs, you mostly feel it during low speed upshifts or downshifts.

I still feel the jerking as its expected from conventional torque converter.... unfair to totally compared to seamless feel of CVT rubberband effect....however the noise sound totally unacceptable for the car of that segment....It will a winning combination if its equipped with cvt....

It certainly is no lexus la. But i would say it is not bad for me already. Then, you should really give the entry level honda fleet a try. I think you will have more complaints.

But, frankly. I can't tell what is transmission noise especially from a torque converter box. It is not like a dog box or something that just whines away as you accelerate. Apart from some clicking sounds going from R-N-D and vice versa and at slow speeds. I think there is very little noise or it is just covered by the engine.

As for why it does not have CVT. I don't know. But, i think there is a CVT 2.4l model somewhere in other regions of the world.

The new civic already been given the cvt gearbox.... but not yet test driving it......but i feel the new facelifted accord , Honda Malaysia should offer cvt as well.....North America and China is being offered 5 speed, 6 speed and CVT for their 2.0, 2.4 & 3.5 V6 line up....

As in accord, i think in US dun have it. We dun have it also.

I am okay paying one shot 15k, but what's the point bro if I can pay installment for 6 months with 0% interest?
I can use the amount of money to reduce my interest on flexi housing loan account?

Do you get where I am coming from bro?
*
So.... how much that you gain on that?

jazz or civic? can anyone shed some honest and practical feedback between these two, regardless of specs? tqvm

If that is ur first car, should buy Civic...more spacious......suitable for long distance than jazz...
Jazz normally meant as 2nd or spare car for market/grocery trips....suitable for short distance travel ....

every month I can save on my interest around 500.. So if I make the instalment with zero percent for 6 months, i can at least save 3000 or more. Besides I have income which will increase my savings in the same flexi housing account. So could save more than expected. smile.gif

good for you then....from where that i am coming from, the source of our income (beside of the usual remuneration) will always coming from investment of share/stock, gold, forex and real estates.... biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Guys, smthg happened to my wife's jazz GE.
& I need your generous ideas on the matter.

While moving, suddenly all lights, radio switched off..n the EPS indicator lit up.
However the engine was running.

It is the battery? I just changed the batt 3months ago.
Almost 3years of ownership n mileage is circa 80k km.

could be wiring problem....maybe...bring to SC for OBD....
