Thanks.refer to FAQ, now I understand how it works.

I asked honda to lubricate all the door hinge on my last service. Much better now

If u really do the calculation, it actually just need to service extra 1 more time than normal civic if u consider within 2-3 year period , not that bad actually

8kx6= 48k service (within 3 year)

10x5 = 50k service (within 3 year)


How also more save compare to my old city, last time 5k must go service or 3 month, sekali go rm200-300++(average price) , 1 year need visit 4 time, as expensive as current civic serious

It's true.

Did you apply fusso on the tail and headlamps?

yearly road tax cost saving (280-90) = 190 maybe can offset 1 extra more service by top up another 50-100, perhaps?

Just get this lubricant oil from Daiso and problem solved Applied once... after 2 few months still good & effective. No ore tight

Nop, fusso coat isnt recommend to use on plastic , i use meguiars ultimate liquiq wax for plastic and chrome part, only paint body i use fusso


Actually there is 1 soft99 product call Soft99 Blaze for headlamp , but since i got the wax so i just use wax only , not sure the blaze tahan or not, i only pick really good review and real world test product, not really too believe the advertisement video


Haha , road tax and insurans save few hundred bucks ya to cover the service cost

Anyone can recommend lock nuts other than McGard? I'm OK with the price for McGard but just worried it'll be overkill. What if the lock nut gets damaged during an attempted theft. It's almost impossible to remove without drilling.

TCP service interval is 8K based on the condition based driving? I thought someone said its not more than 7K?

As for your City, u were using Mineral oil so ure stuck with a 5K service interval. Plus at that time, Honda was very picky insisting on the 5K interval. Most new cars from 2003 were already using Fully Syn oil which gave them 10K service intervals.

The A/B Maintenance Minder service depends on your driving conditions. Hilly locations / traffic jams will deteriorate the oil life faster. Fastest I heard / seen is 6,500KM. At the moment, my oil life is always at normal 10,000KM - I'm using Honda 0W-20 Fully Synthetic. My daily commute is 5min (home-work) with little traffic jam.

However, I noticed that even if my maintenance minder oil life drops below 10,000KM, a drive to a longer distance on the highway (JB to Batu Pahat / Melaka / KL) will increase the oil life back to 10,000KM. In fact, I've had the oil life increased to 10,200KM

anyone notice that the tyre noise gets louder? am at 6k mileage. Seems that it's louder than when new or before.

Anyone changed their tyres and is happy with the tyre noise?

Don't get you.. i thought oil life always decreasing, how come yours can increase? something is wrong?

another way to meet full every 10k km service for TC/P, drive sanely which is damn hard to do

Ya i also notice that..after 6k tyre noise getting louder. When new is very quiet.. now a lot of front tyre noise. MC5 really

Thinking to do sound proofing on front wheel arch. if u notice there are sound proofing on rear wheel arch but not for front (just plastic).

Not sure can help to reduce tyre noise effectively or not. Need some feedback.

Nope, even old city using fully sync also have to service 5k interval or 3 month , even they give u 10k interval but u also have to come back every 3 month because the sticker label there already state the date to service , only latest honda city , jazz, accord, civic that i know change to 5 year warranty , 10k interval or 6 month

TCP interval i just take as average of 8k , if u everyday genting up and down for sure it will drop more, but for user who didnt run over 8k for 6 month, they stil enjoying the same service as 1.8 civic am i right? So depend on user i would say , if u are heavy user, mean u enjoying to Bromm the engine more, for sure u need to pay more for it, but it will be around 1-1.5 more time extra service than normal civic


Same concept as Fuel Consumption, why la my 1.5 civic put rm50 3 day habis liao, while other 1.5tc put rm50 can run 1 week, then u everyday also 180km/h , sure consump more fuel right, hence u need to pay more for fuel

e.g. After servicing, oil life reset back to 10,000KM
Drive for 1,000KM (city) oil life now is 8,500KM - oil life used 1,500KM instead of 1,000KM (Total Oil Life is 9,500KM)
Drive for another 1,000KM (highway) oil life now is 8,000KM - oil life used 2,000KM - back to normal again (Total Oil Life back to 10,000KM)

The above is my personal experience, YMMV

MC5 is like that. It'll just keep getting louder and wet performance will drop rapidly too. I changed my previous car tire to PS3 after a little incident which ripped the MC5 side walls and the noise levels significantly reduced and wet performance improved by a huge margin too. I'd imagine PS4 will be the same or better.

On the other hand, the Civic FC appears to be quite a noisy car at speed. What options do we have for minimally invasive sound proofing? I just don't like the idea of removing everything to install dampening materials.

Usually I bought my Civic accessories at Senawang. The owner has Civic FC and he knows what best for our Civic. His shop name is S PLUS AUTO ACC.

Even if you are using other brand also same. If the lock nuts get damaged, you also need to drill or force to open. But atleast you know your sport rim is safe because you are using wheel locks.

With other nuts you can still use a socket wrench to forcibly open the nuts but McGard has a security mechanism to protect against that. As far as safety goes I'm truly impressed with McGard but I'm worried about the consequences of being overly protective.
