u mean while auto stop? to disable the auto stop while in traffic.. u need to set your AC to more then 5bars.. and it will disable the auto stop.. or install the pivot ISC .. but this ISC is only for manual tranny for now, not sure if they have updated for a CVT ..
*
pivot isc...wow really convenient that way. yup I read it is for manual only...

Not sure if it voids the engine warranty and effected parts only or the whole car warranty. Because servicing is mainly oil change and filter. I honestly cant stand servicing every 3 months and most probably will do 6 months instead next year.
*
3 months service is consider normal...like me 1.5 month already 5000km. really burn my wallet...they can't do 10k km service bcoz their own oil is not fully synthetic so only can go as 5000km.

Thats few more years, cant stand servicing every month for 5 years  blink.gif

Warranty is already void because of mods though.

if you do have a close relationship with a SC adviser or Honda SC manager.. they might can kawteam with you for a 7k interval instead of a 5k interval.. it depends on how much a sweet talker you are.. haha

was thinking of that but how is it after 3000km car feel already heavy???? after change oil all back to normal.. meaning that its the engine oil....why is that?

are you using fully sync / semi / or mineral oil?

it all plays effect.. in your case car feels slightly heavy might be due to tire pressure as well (looking frm another perspective)..
*
yup I notice tire pressure of this car also become less every week. n when the tire pressure is not enough yes the car feels heavy. so I inflated the tyre every Wednesday...still the car felt heavy. so I checked everything to ensure im not missing anything so at the end after the service at Honda and this time I bring my own oil and to my expectation the car feels normal again. this is my 3rd service. my first and 2nd service I've always keep asking why the car felt heavy after service...now I know. of course buying new car must use Honda oil. but if it gives me really bad performance why should I continue? so I have no choice to ignored the SC warning not to bring own oil.
whats important is the enjoyment of riding a CRZ. CRZ is not a normal hybrid car like prius or civic hybrid...its a sport hybrid[I]. so it means performance. how fast the car goes it really matters. if Honda claims have torque of 190 Nm, the car must get that figure or close to that figure...
anyway, this is my opinion...others maybe different...

using your own oil might have problems with warranty should u need to claim it, is what they said. since u are using own oil might as well service outside, much cheaper. anyway since we service every 5k, thinking of using semi-sync instead of their 0-20w.
*
I also heard from their staffs saying many customer complained their car felt heavy after went 3000km....meaning Honda oil is not that good. also many engine oil now already API SN. Honda oil still SM. this rating always change after 2-3 yrs from what I heard...after this maybe API change to SP example...then I check with idemitsu 0w20 fully sync they say the price is rm2XX. Honda oil = idemitsu. but Honda oil with same rating only price rm1xx. why so cheap?that Honda oil is fully sync also....

then the SC once offered me if I don't want the fully 0w20 can have other Honda oils like 10w30, etc..what???? they should know for CRZ only rating w20. if 30 or 40 that will make car slightly more heavy...

I've have known Honda technology and their engine really sensitive to weight issues...u can feel the difference...like turbo cars or continental cars you won't feel the diff....rarely...but with Honda you can...for example after washed the car, inflate correct tire pressure, less unwanted baggage, do all this u can feel the car has power.

but some people say for CRZ the loss power, IMA motor can compensate that...yes, but if you take consideration of all the above the CRZ actually is really2 a fast car. if you drive it correctly and patiently car can achieve good mileage...depend on the road traffic condition of course..

so guys...CRZ is a special car...it want us to treat it as a fast car & fuel saver car so for us as owners need to care it as the "special one".

fyi, I installed the obd2 Bluetooth and install torque pro apps for android hp...so with this tool I can monitor whats going on with the car's engine...really helpful...

So its either you treat it better by using your own oil but voiding warranty or keep the warranty but use their oil. The 1st option is more expensive though if anything were to happen to the car and u cant claim warranty and outside full sync is rm200+
*
but SC in SK mention that to get letter saying that warranty engine is bare by owner and other else is under warranty from Honda can get that at Honda HQ. bcoz I heard some Honda owner did this. so I will get that letter. will not wait until something happened. sure I will be in deep trouble. all I want especially battery hybrid warranty.

Nowadays, after my Z's engine off for few hours, I start engine, wait for 1-2 min to let the engine heat up, then when I swift to gear 1 and slowly release the clutch and pressing the acceleration, I feel my engine is not "smooth" anymore, it will shake a bit.. But after I drive it for 5min, it won't happen anymore..

Can advise.. ? sad.gif

i drive alone about 99% of the time...so the power is adequate for me.

the only time i feel i need more power is when i'm provoked by beemers and VWs
*
rclxub.gif also same....this VW's with turbos can't read????..we're hybrid also mau kacau...maybe i'll put there "always on ECON" maybe they get the point.

yup, the car meant for 2 only. but driving alone also feel want more...coz its an exiting car, looks great and just wish it could have 180whp that would be better. im sure climbing gentings sure be fun..

but i was thinking these superchargers offer frm either auto vision, speedworks or JC racing would it damage the engine? I mean would it last for 10 yrs example?...some people say the car will be more "manja" after the upgrade. can't drive like this...like that...
