Yes, they are the same.
Engine oil treatment should not be used during engine break-in period which is the first few thousand km.
Generally, if used during the first oil change at about 10k km, should be ok.

You bought your car from Sumber Auto in PJ?
I did and they gave 6 free engine oil treatment to be used when changing oil.
I think the SC know what they are doing.  smile.gif (But no harm questioning them when the time comes)
However, I have not decided whether I will use this free engine oil treatment or not. I will decide at my first Service A.

yea bro, sumber auto too.
just worry it will hurt the engine and turbo charger based on the faq at 1st page

if you install body kit or those exterior deco should be okay.. any electrical modification like whole headlamp, LED side step, spoiler with lamp, have warranty void risk...
they can find 101 reasons said due to your modification, the blah blah blah affected... den u can kiss goodbye ur warranty
anywhere, if you changing ur head/rear/fog lamp bulb or interior study lamp only i think should be okay... not sure...

what i think is... they said got void then got void lol...
last time dont know read from where a crz warranty got voided because changed rim...

Definitely 1.5 hands down if got extra cash. I swap mine with my friends 1.8 for test drive, difference in power is very obvious. But only thing is for some reason his 1.8 seem a bit quieter than mine. However, he did not regret choosing the 1.8 due the price difference.

I drove to JB from Melaka over the weekend. Did not realize i was going 170+. Music gets louder when you speed so you don't realize the wind noise and speed until next song change  thumbup.gif

Problems I had with my TCP:
1. Engine grinding during cold start
2. Front bumper gap big (but ok according to HM standard)
3. Back boot doesn't close if you slam hard. It beeps and opens back. HM will look into this on my next visit. they said will change change boot lock mechanism.
4. In general Honda maintenance cost is not cheap
*
1. hopefully HM will fix malaysia's civic x this problem asap like what thailand did. i saw some bros posted about there is a fix on the cvt at thailand

WOP = White orchid pearl? That colour is sweet. Congrats, mate.

Which reminds me that I haven't registered myself in here.

1.5 TCP Lunar Silver; if y'all don't mind adding me to the list, that would be awesome. Thanks admins. smile.gif

Congratz bro. I also just confirm my booking with SA to take WOP 1.5TC. Which brand of tint you go for? For a nice white car, you probably need to do coating as well.  devil.gif

i went for 3M Crystalline. coating still considering, hahaha! biggrin.gif SA got tell you when can get car?

whats your solution??  confused.gif

no solution yet =( only know the noise comes from right side of the dashboard.


QUOTE(waters @ Dec 9 2016, 02:54 PM)
No solution yet. Have to ask the SC to look into it. My car has 2000 kms on it. It's been rattling since day one.
*
SA told me to tell the service advisor when i wanna do 1k service. mine is not heavy rattling tho...


QUOTE(ummul21 @ Dec 9 2016, 03:01 PM)
Mine was having minor rattling a few days after got the car and suddenly gone before my 1000km service. So I didn't complain during the service.

But few days back it re-appear again. I'm nearing my 10K service in a few weeks. Will lodge a complain to them. The sound is clearly coming from the light sensor in the middle of the dashboard.
*
mine is on and off too. not all the time has the problem. just now morning go out i even purposely drove passed some uneven road also no rattling.


QUOTE(brandon8921 @ Dec 9 2016, 04:11 PM)
Sometime the rattling issue could be culprit of sand/dust that go into the gap on the dashboard
Even Merc and BMW also have this rattling issue after sometimes
So don't be so nitpicky and live with it  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif
*
oversea forum got mention that some of them are caused by the shifter cable in the dashboard lol
it's ok if we already drive the car for quite sometimes... but i found it's unacceptable if the problem comes so early of the ownership LOL

Honda should give options at least to 1.8 for them to upgrade their wheels to 17 inch. The current 16 inch really spoil the civicĀ  sporty look as the rubber is too fat.
In fact 1.5 should come with 18 inch like mazda n 17 inch for 1.8.
*
hahaha this really sounds good bro if they had the option for upgrading. but if really provided few option to update this and that...
example, the ori leather seat.. the rim... the door leather panel and armrest leather... the paddle shifter for 1.8...

then maybe eventually the price will approaching what 1.5tc is offering right now...
since 1.8 and 1.5tc got different target in their marketing strategy, i think maybe that's not what honda wanted?
they want them to think "if i want that i must choose 1.5" maybe? laugh.gif

but indeed, the 1.8s for fc is really high specced compared to previous fb and fd... thumbsup.gif

I'm torn in between to change for RS Black Piano grill or just wrap the grill with black matte sticker ..

What I heard that the sticker is hard to take care ..

The sticker could easily tare when wash with high pressure of water .. is it ?

but wrapping with sticker would give more 'elegant' look than black piano grill ..
