wider, thicker sidewall; higher fuel consumption.

yes...ada terfikir masa nak beli..tapi gatal gak nak try.. haha
i even thought to change to 205/50/R16

will the FC higher too if use that size?

195/55/r16 Fit the stock rim? I thought need to use 50 profile for stock, unless yours is not stock rim. Haha.

Hi,

Just dropped by at this Continental tyre shop in Bukit Rahman Putra, Sg Buluh. Asked how much CPC2 and Michellin XM2 price. Was quoted RM 225 / piece (185/55/16) while XM2 RM 250. Which one is better, Continental CPC2 or Michellin XM2? Currently I'm using CPC2. Both tyre the salesman told me is ok.

If I'm not mistaken, was informed that with HIP, first 3 years, Insurance will pay 100% based on policy sum insured.

Just a random question, wanting to get some feedback from HC owners.

Anyone owners using Honda's Fully Synthetic Engine Lubricant for their car?
I just serviced my car today, previously was on SL 5W40 (red); so today I decided to try out 0W-20 (green). I felt the acceleration response is much better on the (green) lubricant than the (red).

What y'all think? Thanks!

My case, i'm under MSIG, bought S city last Aug.
It shows

MSIG recommended sum insured RM84k

And it gives me the option of a) agreeing to the policy, b) revised sum insured to XXXX amount

since the new city (Basic S) is around 74,800k, should i reduce the sum insured? logically, a figure <74800rm.?

Of course you will feel better acceleration response using the green bottled oil because the weight oil is lighter rated at 20 whereas the fully synthetic red bottled oil is rated at 40.

Red bottled oil will give you better protection as it is genuinely a fully synthetic oil (group 4 polyalphaolifin). The green bottled oil, although honda claims it is fully synthetic.. In actual fact it is not. That oil is actually a highly refined oil based from group 3 hydrocracked oil. That is why you can see there's a huge difference in terms of pricing between the red bottle and the green bottle fully synthetic oil.

Countries like Japan, Germany and a few others wouldn't allow an oil to be named fully synthetic if their based is from hydrocracked oil. However, the rest of the world don't usually follow this and 99% of the time will mislead consumer into believing that they are using fully synthetic oil.

The green honda oil is still a good oil as they are categorized as the best group 3 based oil.. Highly refined and pure.. However, if it is compared to the red bottled PAO oil, the differences is day and night in terms of quality of the oil as well as oil drain interval.

If you hardly rev your engine till the 5k-6k rpm band, it is safe to go with the green oil. Else the red oil will be better.

Hope my 2cents reply helps.

I've been using fully syn since first service (5k) since first 1k only checkup. Engine is smooth that I decided to stick to fully syn.

I am using stock rim. Can fit. 195/50/r16 can be use also, only that the overall diameter will be smaller hence u car actuall speed is slower than the odometer.

Pretty sure XM2 better hence the price. If got budget go for XM2.

Okay thats new, I thought need to use 50 profile for stock rim. I may go back to using 16" next time and look for 195/55 as well.

anyone has any recommendations for accessories shop in damansara/kepong/sunway/subang area? wanna get stuff done like LED side mirror signals, keyring LED, air cond metal dial, shark fin antenna, etc. thanks guys!

thanks for sharing!
but few questions here,
1. when this need to be done by Honda? which service?
2. 90+ is labour charge or part charge?

Anyone experience any annoying sound from the back of the car which is supposing the rear reclining seat board? It emanates a very irritating sound when you're going through uneven roads (tiktiktik sound).

from honda malaysia website the Dust & Pollen filter is changed every 20k interval and it cost a whopping RM162.37
