3. from catalog, 42L fulltank. normally @32L empty, fuel empty indicator lit on.
of course no car will show indicator only when it is down to the rock bottom of the tank... the indicator should logically come on before it reaches the empty indicator which is logically what drivers use as the absolute minimum for them to go fill up... so, the indicator is supposed to come on to remind the driver that they are almost reaching that empty indicator while in actual fact... there might be several more liters just below that indicator because knowing all ignorant people... letting the car die once it reaches that empty indicator is calling for trouble...

Unfortunately no. I too have asked this before. Even if full syn, interval is still 5k or 3mths. Their excuse is our engine is not the latest. Only applicable to new models, not mistaken new civic.
I don't like visiting SC too frequently that's why I asked. I don't mind paying more twice a year rather than pay them 4 times a year. Wasting time

actually... they don't have a longer or larger fill element to take car of longer service intervals....
actually also... having to service less also saves you labor fees as you have to pay more hours if you had to go more times... so a longer service interval might save you some money in that direction...

Yeah that's my main concern too. My usage is pretty low about 5k in 6months. I dont want to visit SC 4 times a year

unfortunately, that cannot be avoided as they don't find alternatives and i pretty much see no point paying extra for the more expensive lubricant as i don't feel any difference... there is an even more expensive red bottle of fully synthetic that they tried to stick me with... cost something like 200 bucks...

i have checked with honda senawang when i tested drive city and jazz that service interval depends on the motor oil. if use fully syn.. will be 10k km. if semi-syn.. will be 5k km
better double confirm with whoever is giving you that information because they really don't know the product that they are selling... many of us have gathered and asked over many SC's and the answer is not possible...if you've done it... i bet a lot of us is glad to know...

I m concerned that the A/C button may fail, melt or even fall apart over time.
1. I guess it's a matter of getting used to. At least the speedometer is decently big.
the A/C button won't fail la... the passenger light is even hotter than it and i've accidentally left it on for the whole night and even that did not cause any problems...those things can take some heat...
actually... for a speed to show 110kph... you need one that has odd number indicators like most of the euro cars instead of the even number indicators (20 - 40 -60 - 80 - 100 - 120)...there is no one thing that can satisfy everyone and what if speed limits get upped to 120kph?

I have asked GA and Sri Utama SC recently on this. Both gave the same answer. 5k or 3mths. I ll try another SC next as I due for my 1st 5k service next week.
most likely same answer...
