am not sure if our engine can last 10k service internal.. from what i read, there are various comments on this; some say depend on oil type, some engine setup.. maybe other expert can confirm if we use full can service every 10k..
No problem to service every 10k as the new CITY is also using L15A7 engine. However, to go 10k OCI, best to use only SN0W20 or the SN0W30 fully synthetic oil. I don't recommend using the mineral oil or semi synthetic oil for 10k OCI as these are dinosaur oil.
I read somewhere its the filter that will not last a 10k interval. Maybe just some BS story made up by the Honda tech to justify the 5k interval. Haha. Either way once my warranty out, I'll do a 10k interval. Maybe stick to Honda SC still, just change the interval.
Mmmm.. Honda Malaysia website states that genuine honda oil filter can last 10k bro.. So no problem going for 10k OCI.
I personally am doing 10k OCI. However most of the time i change the oil at around 8k as it is more than 6 months. OCI should be 10k or 6 months whichever comes first.

Really, good to know. Still got 2 more years till my warranty expire. Will have to stick with Honda stupid 5k interval for now. Sigh.
If you are still on the 5k OCI, i recommend you to use mineral or semi synthetic oil. These 2 type of oil is good enough for 5k OCI. As the cost of using fullt synthetic oil for 5k OCI is high.
Thanks for the info bro. Honda sc really cut throat to max!!!! My stock battery already 1 year 7 month sometime need to crank few time only start the car will change it this week b4 outstation. Thanks again
Advice you to change to Panasonic instead of Century Marathoner. Panasonic has higher CCA which makes starting the car easier.
Get to know from the staff that the engine oil from Honda now they use is no longer with bottom, but with a tank one, therefore, van see from the receipt is count per quantity
Only the SN0-20 oil comes in drum. Others are still using 4 or 1 litre pack.
I'm driving Honda City 2013 model, due for my 60k service today. Checked online that 60k need to change ATF fluid.
However, I have changed the ATF fluid during my 40k service in Macinda Auto Kuantan. (noob at that time, didn't check online before servicing)
If according to the service schedule, ATF fluid change is due at 60k and 100k service.
Since I have changed at 40k, can I just do it again at 80k and skip the 60k change?
*Edit* Okay, went to service centre(accord auto near pandan indah), he confirmed if according to service booklet should change at 60k for first time then next change at 100k. He however tried to get me to change ATF fluid at every 20k intervals to maintain "smooth function".
Service booklet says to change ATF every 60k km. However, my practise is to change every 30k km as I feel our hot weather & massive traffic jam puts a lot of strain towards the gearbox.. Since replacing the fluid isn't expensive, thats why i recommend ppl to change at 30k.
Got mine for RM648 or so. The steering control is supposed to be plug and play but since I don't want them to cut any wires, had to add some sort of harness (RM30+) so they can just splice the wire in the existing connection.
Best bang for your bucks I think, plenty of reviews online for the player. Got everything I wanted (bluetooth, handsfree kit with mic, dvd, aux, usb, reverse camera connection). The interface is pretty smooth too, no lag between touch and user interface.
Oh and the HU case (RM250+)..
How about the sound quality? The OEM player is quite good actually.. Can it beat that?
I have been looking around for a second hand city, and apparently all models are giving out the "timing chain" noise, nothing that promotes annoyance, but just wondering issit normal, and possible to keep that noise to minimum with workarounds / upgrades?
4 minute mark, that's the noise!!!!
The L15A7 engine is meant to sound that way. Nothing wrong with it.
Hi everyone, so this morning I went to my car and the first thing I saw was my boot is open. And when I check my boot, my subwoofer and a spare amplifier is stolen.(expected that). The key hole and key assembly is messed up and the boot won't close. I would like to know what's the estimated price to fix it and which shop will fix it. Thanks
Wow... where did you parked your car? Happened at night?
haih~ My City 2010 brake master cylinder is leaking. Need to get it replace tomorrow. Just used for 70,000km already started leaking. Honda parts so lousy
