Yesterday, I go wedding dinner seat same table with all unknown ppl. Halfway thru the dinner, a few aunties on the same table suddenly discussed introducing girl to me and ask me if I got girlfriend already or not coz they say I'm a handsome polite young man. All of them are shock when I say I have a 12 year old daughter. Even more shock when I say I'm in early forties. All tot I'm late twenties. Haha....make my day.

So.....the above true story say proof I no muka penumbuk. Only envious ppl keep saying that to me...

I also drive like a responsible driver mah...accident also I responsible. Bumper payment also I responsible, report polis also I responsible. Next 5 years NCD gone punya insurance also I responsible. I also very responsible coz I no ask girl to give me blow job when I'm driving...

I think that rubber only added in during one of my service in 5 to 15K. Not there originally also.

You think ppl want to introduce their girls to me if I got muka mintak penumbuk meh...

I got not muka mintak penumbuk. My wife say so last week, she say very nice, pleasant face that attracted her in the first place.

Only my daughter say I got muka mintak penumbuk....but her word cannot trust one coz she also says Harry Styles is the most handsomest man on the planet.

No need to get preve side mirror for auto flip. Buy a Honda or Toyota. They comes with it.

Ini yawning or moaning...

Yawning = sleepy or still sleepy

Moaning = somebody is busy with his ermm..... fantasy or maybe the real thing down there....

You're talking abt 5K service engine oil or 1K service engine oil?

If 5K service engine oil, change it to semi and use semi until at least 10K mileage. Then up to you to switch to semi or fully.

Some ppl deal with black day in his/her own way mah.

Some ppl sad, go crazy shopping, some cry, some laugh, some moan, some flash old women/kid, some moan coz beating aeroplane, etc to relieve tension.

Not really, I only have to imagine that I'm that fubar unker....then all these actions become possible...

They won't void any warranty until when you want to claim those parts only. Then if the checked, unauthorised mods alters the wiring, they can choose to void it then.

Make sure if you go for FS next time, its rated 40, not 50.

Lube viscosity. 5W40 for FS. 5W50 is too thick, although you can still use, you won't benefit fully due to its thickness.

Actually I'm not keen on PETRONAS FS as its semi is a bit too rough when compared with other renown brands. I'm on PETRONAS Semi up to 20K mileage. From 25K onwards, I switched on Caltex Havoline semi. Much smoother, quieter and less vibration. Same price. I don't agree with 10K FS usage and I cannot afford to change FS every 6-7K. So I retained semi till now (at over 55K mileage). Change every 5K.

For more advanced engine like the Honda iVTEC with their more efficient filteration, engine tech, cleaner emission, etc it should be ok, but campro...

With our humid, hot and very dusty environment, our lube tends to get dirty and oxidize faster, much faster than those western countries comparison. At 10K mileage, we might be maximising the addictives wear and contaminant retention of the lube in Malaysia. While it is ok in general, a 5K-6K lube change will be more preferable to maintain long term optimum engine performance. Thus said, it also depends on the quality of FS used. I keep my philosophy of changing a lube before it start wearing out drastically. Most ppl in order to maximise $$$ value of lube, utilized the lube to the max but with addictives running low, miniscule damage will start occurring. It is always better to change a lube BEFORE addictive start wearing out rather than after.

Besides that, the biggest doubt is the filteration durability of our oil filter. At 10K in our country's driving condition, the filter should be clogged near to maximum. Once it hit maximum, it will activate bypass, thus all contaminant will NOT be filter and goes directly into the engine thus possibly might increase miniscule damage to engine tho you might not notice it in a couple of years. If using cars for years, it will show by decreasing engine performance gradually, no matter how we clean it at the end.

All this contribute to heighten RISK of increasing miniscule damage and affect performance decrement over the years. It does not mean 100% engine performance will be affected long term but the DAMAGE RISK will be exponentially increased based on the factor above.

Thus said, if want to maintain a thoroughly clean engine over years with minimum performance decrement, it will be better to use semi for 5K than fs for 10K. That's how all my cars are maintained over 8 years with performance only slightly below its newly bought performance comparison. No hard statistic coz I no money dyno but all mechanics and cars club member who sit in my stock cars last time, commented how the engine piston, etc, is still shining clean and performance better than any of their cars of same make after years.

If you do that, be sure to keep some lube to top up after some loss during filter change. It lessen the impact of contamination drastically but does not help of addictive wear. This are however only prevention methods as we have no real way of knowing if addictive is still strong or worn out by 10K in our driving condition without doing an oil analysis thus the precautionary measure of changing lube as early as possible but not to be too wasteful. 7K or 6 months whichever comes first is a nice number for FS.

You cannot compare with VW. These ppl knowingly buy a vehicle with known gear box and turbo issues. Either that or they prefer prestige and fun driving more than reliability.

I regret a bit now for buying a PE. Makan minyak like my Civic but much smaller size. Underpowered like my Civic but harder to accelerate without LCP. If I drove a Vios or Almera last Tuesday evening, I would not have bang a BMW X3 and lost my NCD coz if I drive Vios and Almera, I would have gone faster and overtake that vehicle earlier.

Don't know what my ongoing repair car going to have any problem later coz I don't trust the huge insurance panel workshop, too many cars there, no personal touch especially when a claimant just complain her car windows drip water inside after repair there....when I'm signing claim form that day.

Most importantly, Vios can still attract a leng mui, apa PE can attract....

On side note, if I have gotten an Almera or Vios, every time I pay instalment, I sakit hati coz my lunch money cut by 80%. Now PE pay instalment, almost tak Nampak the amt. With the high mileage I'm going, the lost of value of the car after 5 years will likely be 40K instead of 30K with PE. The higher the value the car, the more mileage it go, the bigger the amt it drop. That's why I keep Civic as weekend car and a cheaper car like PE can go high mileage with minimum resale value loss.

Oh....did I tell you I attracted my wife while driving an iswara. Ini face tak da problem, my earlier quote are meant for other ppl err...maybe you since you response first.

Wait till their warranty over....they may as well change car than to bear to cost of repair.

I got City at home lar...with a LCP also you will lose to a City. LCP only "correct" the weakness of PE low torque but does not increase it better than others.

City got huge amt of torque and 122 hp. PE only 110 hp coupled with heavy body. iVTEC or VTEC (for my City) is not just for show coupled with its lighter body (abt 150 lighter than PE) could tapau PE anytime. PE advantage is extreme stability at high speed for its range and very efficient handling vs City celupy handling.
