iStop reminds me of my friends driving in Switzerland, she turn-off engine at traffic lights.

The engine restarts faster on the Mazda, and the lack of engine vibration is kinda disconcerting at first shocking.gif

edit: Found this http://www.myswissalps.com/car/trafficregulations

You're advised to turn off the engine when you need to wait for traffic lights, railroad crossings, etc. Sometimes this is obligatory;

I did proceed with semi synthetic only. Hope not much different.

Difference between semi and fully synthetic should be viewed in the long term.

How well the oil protects the engine, doubt there is immediate difference switching from one type of lubricant to another.

Experience servicing Kembara when it was new I noticed semi-synthetic oils breakdown and become black faster. After about a year I changed to synthetic and subsequent oil changes are a lighter brown color compared to semi-synthetic.

Driving the Kembara for 10 years liao tongue.gif never had engine breakdown.

semi syn je unless you have extra money to spend

Agreed just use whatever works... or if got cash to spare then use fully synthetic.

First 1k KM oil change is due next week sweat.gif

My mom got her mazda 2 coated by ceramic pro. Went for the silver package. Honestly I dont think its worth it after applying it for almost 6 months, as I feel that the oleophobic coating feeling that it had right after it was applied, is now gone, meaning the coating has already wore off after half a year.

Even if you paid for 5/7/9 layers coating putting aside the price consideration, they can cut corners in the material they use and you as an average consumer wont even know biggrin.gif

My experience was I found out that some parts of leather and the fabric was uncoated and I had to complain and get it done.

Thanks for information, hope you don't mind to share information so others may benefit from your mum's experience.

What's the beading effect like now, maybe spray some water and take picture as it beads off...?

Also the cleaning regiment, is the car washed regularly etc.

Thanks for sharing and I appreciate your feedback icon_rolleyes.gif

hi all proud cx-5 owners. im considering of buying cx-5.

Just wondering why they didnt provide centralized door lock to the car? The
PJ branch SA said it is because of the NCAP requirement, however when i check at NCAP website, there are no statement saying about centralized locking as one of their requirement.

im considering cx-5 or honda hr-v.. based on price, hr-v is 10k cheaper, but spec wise i think cx-5 is better. maybe any proud owner of cx-5 can enlighten me with which car should i choose.

thanks in advance to all..

Honda is HR-V B segment while the Mazda CX-5 is C segment.

Of course the CX-5 is better... brows.gif

Short kids will have problems opening the rear doors parents have to help sweat.gif my neighbour has HR-V.
