100% city driving? I'm doing 30% city 70% highway, around 7.5L per 100km

100% city drive recorded 8.9L/100km.
Note. Nearly 15-20 engine start stop for my daily routine, such as fetching wife and son to office and school, purchase of grocery, breakfast, lunch and so on.

why all your persona absorber so lasting long? mine 56k already replace twice front absorber. the original came with car leaked around 40-45k, replacement 1 also leaked within 1 year, just only 7k km.
is it because everyday i going through 20-25 speed bumps?

Yes, it is poured into the petrol tank. I believe that it works as my car hardly has any problems starting within 3 cranks consistently, but it may have been as a result of using oil additives as well.

Steering movement doesn't feel smooth, knocking noise. No idea about bad absorbers because none of the absorbers that have been on my car have ever leaked.

How do you even tolerate going over speed bumps at 20-25? I don't understand why people want to bounce the hell out of themselves over speed bumps, and I especially hate it as a passenger.

Sport absorber + spring has taken the bounce out of my car pretty much completely. With the stock suspension set-up, the rear of the car usually bounces about two times even at speeds of about 10 ~ 20 Km/H. Sport suspension on the other hand has very little to zero bounciness over speed bumps between 10~20Km/H.

Edit: The kayaba gas absorbers I had before this were still in a very good condition with over 20k Km mileage. No leakage, and they still had strong resistance.

I mean total number of speed bumps is ranging 20-25, depends which route I take... Usually I slow down to less than 20km/h, but still many cars like to tiong behind. I was wondering how frequent those speeder replace absorbers

Oh sorry, read it wrongly. I guess you just got unlucky when your absorbers leaked with just 7k km of mileage on them.

And yeah, you have to pretend to be ignorant and just go over the bump at your own pace. . I accelerate harder if there are plenty of cars around.

My mileage 60k now , absorber still strong, touch wood. But I'm very slow going over bumps and I will avoid pot holes carefully.

Guys can persona use 10-30 engine oil ? My car will eat a bit engine oil, not so serious but yea can see the engine oil level reduced after sometimes.. Currently using LM semi 10-40

Yes, but nid to keep checking the oil level.

Im using lm 10-30. Did have oil level reduce. Problem fixed. Now oil level maintain.

What cause the problem? how u fix it?

Hi..anyone changed the drive shaft before? how much total cost?

i think my right hand shaft dying soon...got noise when making full right turn.

5 years old, 40k mileage still feels like new

mine just about 2 years, but already 35k on mileage

slow down is the best for absorber , mine change at 145km after 6 yrs using, sometime not speed bump , u have to avoid pothole even the smallest ur fist

Wah.. Planning to keep for how many more years?

How is your car's braking performance?

Dipstick there leaking when rev hard.
Change the oring

always outstation?

keep until wheels falls off...

My front wheel got tak tak sound for the last two week.
Found out worn absorber mounting. Total damage for today rm240 for part and labout.
Note: my car recorded mileage 60k km

service centre or outside workshop?

2 years only 35k ? haha mine 2 years already 60k ! gosh

yeah, same here, I am very careful of potholes and humps, but sometimes really cant avoid, what to do.
