not sure my question are the relevant with city as I am about to service my CRV for 10k. seriously considering these two types of full synthetic engine oil OW-20 or slightly expensive 0W-30. Which one is better for occasionally highway use (Karak) and majority city driving?

through phone call they also recommend adding rm 70 for fuel additive and injector cleaner. i rarely used fuel additive before unless when my engine getting older. as newbie would appreciate comment.

For 10K servicing?
You car is too new for fuel additive and injector cleaner. I feel both these are not relevant for your relatively new car.

I am using llumar t4-50. My wife complaint it is still quite bright and hot. My daughter who sits at the rear side seats is always sun tanning. So i bought amerguard sunshade. i should have add a few hundred bucks to upgrade to llumar crystal 6.

My FS on Llumar Top70, sides on Crystal 6 and rear on Silver. My car is still rather hot; as compared to my other car on Vkool Elite.

Llumar is slightly cheaper than 3M and Vkool, but it appears to me the heat rejection is poorer as well.

Groovy sunshade costs around RM300. It is more worthwhile than paying the premium price for top tier tinted film.

Are those Groovy / AMERGUARD sunshade really good at heat rejection? Or they are just good for security & privacy (outside people cannot look into inside) purpose ?

I have Groovy sunshade. Surely it makes the cabin feels cooler. No doubt it serves the security purpose as well.
For ~RM300 i feel it is a good investment.

I have the Groovy sunshade, but not the snap-on magnet type as well. So i guess it should be almost same as the Amerguard.

The snap-on magnet looks like more convenient. But come to think of it, i hardly remove them after installation.

I bought from Bakuso - http://bakusoracing.com.my/. Can't remember the exact price; i think it is RM300.

Thanks for your input. I just got a quote of the snap-on magnet type for our Honda city from Groovy.
4 sides: Rm370
Rear: Rm260
4 sides + rear (combo deal) : Rm580
Free delivery

Quite expensive.. Almost twice the price of amerguard.
*
Ya. Rather expensive just for the snap-on magnet thing.
I think the improvement in functionality does not worth so much difference.

Im going for my 10k service today. They charging me 400+ standard service + additional for lub service + engine oil treatment and allignment. Is is needed?
*
Not needed. These additional services are usually offered at cut throat prices.
You don't need engine oil treatment for such a new car. Alignment you can get it done outside, better and cheaper.

PETALING JAYA: A seemingly minor collision between a Honda City and a Mercedes-Benz along Jalan Teknologi 3/1, Kota Damansara here, resulted in the death of one of the drivers.

The 44-year-old driver of the Honda, who was with her two sons and niece, died at the scene of the accident that occurred on Sunday noon.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Zani Che Din said the Honda did not stop before turning into a junction and rammed into the back of a Mercedes-Benz.

One of the first responders at the scene said the driver and passenger airbags were deployed following the collision.

Sungai Buloh Fire and Rescue Department Senior Officer II Rosdi Hainan said that the driver’s airbag was found ruptured and that she could have sustained injuries to her chest from material protruding from the centre of the steering wheel.

“There was blood in the car when we inspected it. Medical personnel from Hospital Sungai Buloh said she was barely alive when help arrived. She died at the scene. Her three passengers were not hurt,” he said.

Rosdi said that the Mercedes driver and his wife escaped uninjured.

A team of firefighters from the Sungai Buloh station led by Rosdi arrived at the scene at about 12.10pm after receiving a distress call.

ACP Zani said that the cause of death has yet to be determined pending post-mortem results. There was only minor damage to the Honda.

Sounds like another tragedy caused by faulty Tataka airbag.

thats doesnt mean takata can produce defective airbags and compromise the driver safety.... ur statement doesnt make sense at all....

It is a very sad. Imagine your immediate family member killed for no reason.
People in USA sued Honda and Tataka until their pants drop, but such incidents remain pretty low profile in Malaysia despite taking away 3 lives.
My '06 Honda City has 2 air bags. They replaced my passenger side air bag, but driver side air bag is still out of stock. What i can do in the meanwhile is just to minimize the usage of that car.

Yeah.. It seems like Honda Malaysia's main priority is to send the recall letters to consumers. But whats the use of the letter when they dont even have any available stocks? When accident happens, they still dare to push the blame to consumers for not changing the airbag inflator! The more they drag, the worst their image brand will be.. But well, here is Malaysia so wat to do..
*
Actually they never even bothered to send me a recall letter. Initially when the issue first started they made an announcement saying they would contact the owners in phase for replacement exercise. So i just waited for my turn. After waiting for more than 1 year, nothing came to me. At the end i made an initiative to call them.

Not sure whether they put old Takata airbag inflator or new improved Takata airbag inflator. Even if they use new improved Takata airbag inflator, it still uses ammonium nitrate as propellant. Just that they added some chemical drying agent to minimize humidity. However this has not been tested in the long run so not sure is it still safe after a few years of using it.

Personally i feel the risk of accident caused injury due to insufficient air bags is much higher than of probability having faulty new designed air bags.
Maybe only that's me...
