All the oil mentioned by earl-ku are good oil. If you want peace of mind, just stick to Honda genuine oil then. They have updated their range of oil to meet API latest standards which is the SN category oil. You will not go wrong with their oil.

haha...if you are in doubt just go back to Honda SC lor
jiwa tenang hati riang

those oils especially brands from north american like shell and mobil, the recomended interval is 13k ... but of course in north american weather la ... in malaysia easily 10k

even in my old perodua, if use full syn oil from perodua also 10k service interval

Gave my friend for servicing coz he's technician at Honda , parts etc can slightly get cheaper and so on ~

You guys pump r95 or r97? I just found out honda minimum is r91 except for type-R

Pump ron95 is enough.

Ya lor...baru berangan nak pump r97 since sudah turun..then i read honda say min r91

i think wanna try rm50 r95 vs rm50 r97.. see mileage if got any different..

Do update us on the outcome )

dude this wont be logical ... u cant compare with this method

RM50 of r95 is not equivalent to RM50 of r97

do a similiar comparison, go get 30litres of r95 and r97 to compare la ...

not a prob bro since my objective is to compare the running cost, which how far both ron can go with same amount of money..

its NOT a comparison at all ... as it should be how far can you go with both RON with the same amount of fuel ... not money

R95 = 2.3 / L
R97 = 2.55 / L

RM50 =
21.739 L of R95 petrol
19.607 L of R97 petrol

assuming you are doing 12Km to the litre

RM50 of R95 = 260.86 km
RM50 of R97 = 235.29 km

for a fair comparison you must get

a similar amount(litre) of fuel to compare

I owned a City since Aug 2013, and tried number of RON95 fuels, and found that RON95 from CALTEX give best performance (pickup) among others.

Lately I changed to RON97 from CALTEX as well, and I felt (NOT placebo) my City has better performance, "smoother" while pickup with no/less knocking. I may stick to RON97 if the price difference less than RM0.25/liter.

So, any "heavy foot" RON97 user here?
Which RON97 fuels give better performance to your City?

Thanks.

I am sticking to BHP since it offers Euro 3 grade fuel.. As for RON95 and RON97, I will be sticking to RON95 as the L15A7 requires a minimum of RON91 to run. RON95 still have an additional 4 Octane number to spare

I have a question though... Where does our L15A7 EGR valve is located? I see the old City as well the new City have their EGR valve located on the lower left of the engine. Ours don't have it... Really curious where it is located.

Hello all people !

I had a question here.
I drive a City 2013 Facelit 5 speed auto.

When I drive over 160km/h (3400 RPM), the car comes up with some weird sound, is something like "feeeeeeeeeet".

What will cause that sound? Car mileage around 17k only.

Don't worry that's the VTEC sound. Haha.. joking only

Can you record the sound on your phone and share here? Maybe easier for the sifoo to help and troubleshoot.

Very hard la, since I can do that on PLUS Highway.
Anyway, any possible statement I can mention to SC?

my friend's 2009 models has this problem and its due to windscreen rubber.

it gets louder as you go faster

he bring back sc, they change the rubber, then ok edi.

Hmm, possible too.
I will mention this when my next service.
Is it FOC for that?

recently i also noticed that my car got this sound when read 150km/h, on plus highway too.
i heard from others due to windscreen rubber, will highlight to sc on next service
