QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Mar 15 2015, 10:25 PM) Guys, Pls take note that our Vios default battery size is NS60LS. Today my stock battery died, approximately 15months. To my surprise, the given stock battery is size 40, instead of per paper stated above. Pop ur hood and check it. If its 40, the battery is very small and leaving tonnes of space in base. Today changed Century Marathoner size 60LS, it fits the base perfectly. Even the battery guy Avanza also same case, given size 40 when paper stated 60. I'm not sure if we can complaint to Toyota on this. However, its clearly stated that battery is not covered under warranty. Just take not note. Perhaps can go to service centre and lodge a complaint? perhaps they are unaware of this issue

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Mar 16 2015, 05:10 PM) there's no definite answer to this, as the voltage remains the same; just different capacity. however, feedback from automotive enthusiasts indicate that bigger capacity battery tends to last longer. may i ask what is your mileage till ur battery kong? my new altis now 20k++ liao battery still going strong..

QUOTE(t1231 @ Mar 19 2015, 03:08 PM) Thank you. Another question. My friend just bought a new Altis latest model. He has done three services at the SC. He'd like to know after the first year, it is beneficial to keep going back to toyota SC to service his car? What kind of engine oil do they use for Altis? Can we bring our own engine oil? Should new car use fully-synthetic oil? i am also ... 2.0V highest spec after 1 yr usually im still servicing at SC... to avoid warranty inconvenient caused. im using semi synthetic all the way after first service.

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Mar 23 2015, 01:42 PM) nope. End of the day.. it will loose up and you will need more clicks to lock it properly. hence, servicing is required to re-tune it back to have only few clicks. its configured at the drum brake mechanism. how about if all disc brakes? also tune at rear?...
