Thank you for your recommendation brother cleaner.

Just done the servicing diy today on 20K mileage:-
1) BArdahl SAE 10W40 Semi Synthetic 4L = RM84.80 free oil filter
2) NGK G-POWER platinum 4 plug = RM50.88 ( claim can last for 60k mileage )
3) PERODUA ATF Dextron III ( 1L - 3 bottles ) - RM47.70

It save a lot to be diy which less than RM200 VS SC will charge app RM450. But, say bye bye to warranty.

bro, the only place you can get d3-sp is in perodua sc and they are not selling, coz the oil come in bulk form which is a 18 liter tong, i believe they have a reason picking up d3-sp for myvi and alza, not even axia, like bro cleaner said it's the enhanced version of d3, maybe some little bits of additive added in probably due to the E-AT architecture for newer perodua cars.

i done some web surfing and found out that passo sette using toyota type IV atf, not sure whether they on the same gb with alza here or not. You know la, sometimes not everything is carry over from japan, perodua will make certain adjustment also.

Just wondering perodua which type of car using dexton-sp3. .....

sp3? perodua cars? no. perodua cars should be D3. Sp3, kia, hyundai, mitsubishi, proton saga BLM, persona.

But there's sp3 atf selling in the market with packing from perodua

Kind of confusing now... you are right that there are SP3 and D3 packaging from perodua.

The sparepart shop as well as my mechanic, that red is the one. So now...confused..hehehe

This is D3 (Green) and SP3 (red)

Yup,my mechanic also got confuse before this, pour sp3 in my alza gearbox. At 20k km, gearchange sluggish and when inspect, atf colour dark chocolate

now it's new to me that SP3 exist for Perodua. i wonder which model use SP3 ATF as well. Anyway, Alza & Myvi guarantee uses D3-SP. I believe you can opt for D3 probably it just doesn't run as well as D3-SP.

Hi guys, my mileage is 1.5k just done 1k service.

Running on yokohama 195/55 r15. Is it normal for the fc to be 10.1-10.0/liter on average?

I read some can reach more. Does the tyre affect so much?

So D3 is the right one? As in manual, it stated D3-SP. Mine is 2010, what is stated in the new Alza?

So what is what?

Anyone can confirm and also does this apply to the older alza or newer?

What's your driving condition...? Jam kao kao...? City, highway, mixed...?

Mine's around 11.3 to 12.3km/l for the first 1.5k mileage...

D3 can use, D3-SP also can. if want use D6 also can becos backward compatible with D3.

This one around rm240 for 4 litre tin (workshop price). Using it for my other car.

Dexron VI Fully Synthetic

just collected my alza S yesterday
still need to drive more, seems a bit jumpy ride over 100kmph.
not sure should wait for 1k service or just go for Coil Spring Buffer?

will go and check tire pressure first during lunch time later.

congrats ! Read the owners manual first...that is the best to know your alza better.

jumpy? you mean floating when over 100kph?

i think he mean floating..

bouncy, like the suspension/absorper is not able to absorb the road condition.
it's highway, so the road is consider flat with no pot holes, but i feel like bouncy (up and down) a bit.


not really floating, i try to limit 100kmph max since not yet go for 1k service.



another question.
my drive comes with Silverstone M5, some of my friends ask me to change to other tires..
i'm thinking to use it first, then change later.
please advice...

I trade in my m5 tyres the moment I got my alza!
Regarding bounciness, I sat in my friend sylphy before, and I think hers were much more bouncy on the road. I'm using xm2, current mileage 52k, still have a lot thread left. (since Dec 2014) considering change maybe 70/80k mileage. Is it OK/risky?

Bro aba, check your tire pressure

Bro tankx, as long not reach minimum thread wear indicator and always check tyre pressure, should be ok

Bouncy depends on which road..how bounce is it also depends on individual. Too hard not comfort like gangnam style all the way but too soft it will be like floating. It is oaky fpr alza unless the absorbers is/are out.

On tyres, just chk the wear indicators as well as check for cracks especially old aged tyres.

i guess i would wait for the current m5 to wear out, then only go scout for new tires.
i guess it should be able to last 50k km/ 2 year.


tire pressure seems correct, will try few more times
maybe will ask the perodua SC to check, wonder will i entitle for free balancing and alignment or not?


i see. thanks
would it help to get the Coil Spring Buffer?
