sama jugak.

nothing beats peace of mind when driving.

why smmotorsport or the honda specialist ampang? they are better?

I've been wanting to service my car at Tenaga Setia for the past 2 weeks but unable to do so because they don't have stock for fully synthetic oil :-(

no comment on "betterness" since i never try

honda specialist ampang - they are ex-mechanic for honda and if i am not mistaken they only service honda cars

smmotorsport - quite popular in this forum...hehe

smmotorsport staff are quite friendly & i can see they handle your car well.

be happy at least can use fully synthetic oil.... my car use fully or semi also 5k service one time.... I tot the fully can 10k only change, but the honda SC told me 5k also... I'm like WTF.... then choose semi better.... I'm guessing yours is the new face lift....

got address for smmotorsport or the honda specialist ampang?

Mine is 2010 model. Warranty expired so I just use fully synthetic and go for 10000 oil change interval. For your info, Honda updated their engine oil. They now carries SN 0W30 Fully Synthetic (This 1 must be PAO base from Group IV oil as the price is quite steep at RM198) , SN 0W20 Fully Synthetic (This 1 is actually a highly refined Group III based oil).

I go with mineral oil. Ekekeke

Am using Liqui Moly Mos2 10/40 and sticking to 5k km interval... been telling myself i can safely stretch the interval to 6-7k but i am always reluctant ...

Can't do that since mine still under warranty. Haha.

kita sama bro.. max stretch 5.5k..

have u tried mos2 10/30? i tried both and i think 10/30 better and rev friendly than 40.. maybe just my placebo effect


whre is smmotorsport?

I think its best to use the xW30 oil as our engine optimal oil should be that weight although xW40 weight oil can also be used.

I am currently using the Honda 5W40 SL Fully Synthetic oil and will be changing it to Honda 0W30 SN Fully Synthetic oil this coming weekend.

Hi there, so which one are you using that u can change every 10k interval ?

got how many types of fully synthetic ? which can is 5k and which is 10k ? Please help... I hate doing every 5k cuz it's time wasting and more expensive.

How come last time, when I ask they tell me that fully also last only 5k? which type are they talking about ?

My honda city is this type

not the new facelift or the 2014

If your warranty has expired, you don't have to follow their service duration. I am driving a 2010 year make, warranty is over so now i service every 10k km. That's why i prefer fully synthetic oil to ensure maximum protection.

If you service at 5k, i will recommend you to use semi synthetic oil.

Hi, may I know which fully are u using ? cuz u say got many types... Thanks

I am using the SN 0W30 fully synthetic oil.

you can try a lot of type of oil la ... shell ... mobil... liqui moly... SR1... eneos

personal preference ...

ya, but I scare those cannot last for 10k...
