I'm not sure if using fully sync oil will help with the FC. I've been using full synthetic oil since my first service (1k).  smile.gif 

But from my experience, what I do know is that driving with Eco mode turned OFF definitely help!  flex.gif
*
Semi or full synthetice engine oil do not have much differences on fc.. Personally think semi eo is good enough smile.gif

Hi.. I just bought a new vios about 6 weeks ago.
I just realised last week that the car floor is wet. Even if I dry the mat over night and make sure that the window is all up, the mat will be wet again after driving for 1 hour eventhough it wasn't raining. It gets so bad until I can see the water dripping from the car floor onto the road..
This shows that the wetness is not caused from the rain.

Maybe the problem arises before I receive the new car.

The car floor had probably been wet since 6 weeks ago.
To wat extend the is the damage done from the wet car floor..? Rusty car chassis? Rusty connection? Mold?

I need some advice.

Should I ask for a new car replacement? Or should I just receive the same car after it had been repaired by the service centre..? Should I accept the compensation if the Toyota offer? How much..?

Actually, my concern is what can happen after 5 years or more as a result from the water damage.. the reason I buy a new car because I want a peace of mind, but now, honestly I'm concern..

The Toyota sales person will certainly try to ask me to take back the car after it had been repaired.

What should I do..?

You may just receive the same car after it has been repaired by SC.
