QUOTE(sj0217 @ May 7 2015, 09:51 AM) Sorry I have no idea. That was the staff told me... Not sure which one is use when service car, only know fully syn oil How to check and see ah?? If not mistaken, the high grade is RM250 +-, low grade is RM150 +-. Low grade is for fuel saving feature.

QUOTE(sj0217 @ May 7 2015, 11:02 AM) I see, then it will be low grade one for fuel saving feature. I tried on low grade fully syn oil engine as recommended by SC, but feel no FC saving and the car lack of pick up. After using semi syn , then the pick up has certainly improved significantly. Anyone has different experience in using low grade full syn oil, please do share out.

QUOTE(sj0217 @ May 7 2015, 01:07 PM) Never use Semi syn oil before. However, I feel pick up is lack of power by using low grade fully syn oil engine as recommended by SC Probably need to try for semi syn for next service. But once use the Semi syn, there is no 25% discount voucher can be use next time But you still got 15% discount. I prefer better pick up than saving another 10% though. However, will use high grade fully syn oil once the warranty is over.

QUOTE(sj0217 @ May 7 2015, 02:04 PM) oh? 15% discount voucher will be given if use for Semi syn oil??? If yes then can think about it. why only use high grade fully syn oil when warranty is over?? So far, I got 15% discount when using semi syn oil. Use high grade fully syn oil can long for 10k. Save labour charges as well as no need to service every 5k.

QUOTE(LittleBear @ May 7 2015, 02:56 PM) Go for the fully syn 0w30 oil (red bottle). This is a low grade fully syn oil and does not save fuel based on my experience using it and somemore, lack of pick up in car performance.

QUOTE(LittleBear @ May 7 2015, 04:39 PM) There are 2 fully synthetic oil from Honda. SN0W20 (light green bottle) SN0W30 (red bottle) The red bottle is the higher grade fully synthetic oil. That is why it cost a lot more than the green bottle. In addition, the viscosity of the red bottle oil is similar to semi synthetic, thus your claim lack of pick up doesn't make sense. My apology, I means the light green bottle, SN0W20. The red bottle , I will use only after the warranty is over otherwise it is waste cos change every 5K.

QUOTE(earl-ku @ May 8 2015, 10:17 AM) if you are servicing outside, there are a lot more other good grade oil you can use i am using liqui moly mos 10/40 and i am still servicing it every 5k if you go for the fully syn, i am sure u can do more than 7k per interval you dont have to stick to honda oils, u can try torco, q8, millers and of course liqui moly check here for a rough estimate on the other brands price http://speedmod.com.my/index.php?route=pro...&product_id=164Thank you for sharing. Will definitely try these brand after the warranty is over. I believe it is equivalent or better than Honda oil .

QUOTE(Rhadykall @ May 10 2015, 10:10 PM) Btw, back to your question about the 30k service. Here's the invoice breakdown; | Item | Qty | Unit Price | Discount | Nett Price | Amount | | SN 0W-20 FULLY SYN | 3.6 | 36.90 | 25% | 27.68 | 99.63 | | WASHER DRAIN 14MM | 1 | 1.91 | N/A | 1.91 | 1.91 | | OIL FILTER CARTRID | 1 | 27.89 | 25% | 20.92 | 20.92 | | ELEMENT ASSY,AIR | 1 | 78.30 | 15% | 66.56 | 66.56 |
*Prices not including GST How come the fully syn is in 3.6 bottles and not in 4 liters package? Is this charged as 4 bottles?

QUOTE(LittleBear @ May 16 2015, 07:30 AM) Based on car manual, Oil change should top up 3.5 liter of engine oil.. No more, no less. It could be they have billed wrongly. I've never tried the 0w20 oil but if people said that oil feels under power, possibility could be due to the lower viscosity of they oil. Lower viscosity will have less oil pressure within the engine. Anyway, i feel it should feel more power as the engine crankcase can move more effortlessly due to the lower viscosity. Means it should save fuel , but my experience dont feel extra saving.
