i had to change engine oil since it was due (almost 10k km from previous service), was charged labor of 95.40, which is okay. Thing is i got charged additional labor of cartridge oil filter and oil drain, both amounting to 55 bucks. I thought the 95.40 labor charge covered all labor, especially for regular oil changes.

10k service and engine oil I do it separately

Engine oil RM 263.50 @ 15k milage
My first engine oil change at 7.5k .. around this price

Old Klang road service centre

did they quoted your 'extra' servicing? They quoted me engine cleaner, air cond evaporator (wtf?), evaporator cleaner, these 3 amounting close to 170 bucks alone, was told it should be done once a year. Is this even true? Did they quoted u any of the above?

No .. my car is less than a year .. current mileage 17k

Service done as of now

1k - free
7.5k - 260+
10k - 95
15k - 260+

can anyone share their experiences between 2.0 vs 1.5t?.
thanks

bro, when in doubt, always refer to the service schedule on honda website. it is absolute minimum parts that the Service centre should change for you. any more parts change than that would be optional.

do you guys join the FB group or WhatsApp group in your region? its the CRV G5 group managed by Daryl Tan. you can serach at FB for it. there are lots of members can point you with their previous service records. most of them are quite active as well.

cheers.

to be honest, going TC is when your budget allows. obviously the TC engine is plagued by the oil dilution but its not such a big situation here in Malaysia. but that 1.5TC is a good mill and fuel saver.

for 2.0, I am driving one and its FC is manageable at city crawling traffic. I chose crv due to its practicality (higher seating position) and also a bunch of digital instruments (not analogue dials). but that's just me.

maybe you can share out what are you looking for and people here can help you point out the details in each model. that would really be customizing our answers to your needs/queries

My sister booked a 1.5TC Lunar Silver on end of January.

How long do they takes to deliver the car?

My SA mention that, if got loan approve (this month) can get the car next month. Not sure early, mid or late month...

I have not test driven the 2.0 but general insight is that 2.0 on segment C or above SUV class vehicle is gonna be a little bit under-power.

From personal experience with 1.5t (which is also my first turbo) is I really like how I don't need to rev it pass 2k - 2.5k to have adequate acceleration. If you on ECO mode, engine rarely rev pass 1.5-2k with light throttle, but it is a bit sluggish to my taste. Once you rev it pass 3k, you can really feel the acceleration, even above highway speed limit.

In terms of fuel consumption, from what I know 1.5t is slightly better than 2.0.

If really nick-picky about the 1.5t, I can think of 3 small "issues". 1st, the sound of the high pressure injector could be heard especially during low speed high load condition (I believe 2.0 with port injection would be less audible), and the engine note of 1.5t is not exactly sweet (probably amplified by CVT). However, once you get to certain speed, the engine is very quiet. 2nd, it depends on your commutation style, 1.5t may require you to change engine oil more often. 3rd, this is a newly developed engine compare to the tested and proven R20 2.0 engine, no one knows about the longevity of the engine yet.

p/s: i wouldn't consider 1.5t oil dilution as a problem to our country mainly because it happens in cold climate country and with specific driving style (very short distance, engine never able to warm up enough)

Dear C-RV owners,
You are looking at a potential buyer here.

Can anyone share warranty details here. I know its a 5 year unlimited mileage but can anyone share the details on what is covered, cvt gearbox, engine, standard wear-tear like battery, paint from new?

Tried to Google but couldnt find helpful info.

Thanks

2.0 is not come with front sensor. Can we install it at any accessories shop out there or maybe 360degree camera?

Any advice? Thanks.

There is a shop named HT Auto in near Jalan 222 ( pass the PJ crematorium ). I have seen them installing front sensors to every variant of Honda on the road from Jazz to Accord.

Will this void the warranty from Honda?

From Honda point of view, anything extra you do will void warranty, especially this kinda things like drilling holes and splicing cables.

Then better don't try...haha

Thanks bro. I asked the SC, it was told that the evaporator cleaning is needed every 1 year. Though i was skeptical at the time i said go ahead since i do not want my aircond to have any problems. They did not "recommend" nor "advise", it was "needed". But to be fair it did somewhat improved my aircond performance, cools faster and cooler.

Thing is i got charged 3x labor, for oil change + gasket removing/oil drain + honda 10k km service charge (WTF?)

ok as long as you are aware wat you are doing and got what you want then its acceptable.

yes their charges for labour is quite high.

but they charge by hourly rates... you mean they separate it like 1hr for oil then 1 hr for oil drain and 1hr for etc??

mine was like 1.74hrs for my 10k km oil change (I did it at7k km due to 6mths time due).

Will we ever get a firmware upgrade to have Wireless CarPlay?

Hi guys, can the lowest spec CRV's CMBS feature be unlocked via 3rd party? Roughly how much?
