Would it affect the warranty etc? Very heartache to see new car compartment got disassembled, from what I experienced last time those workers kinda rough when doing all the accessories installation. 😥

Just finished my first service, should I hit hard on the accelerator pedal now to maximize its potential? How fast should I go?

What is that haha, I mean there is a saying like before first service gotta keep the rpm and speed low and after first service need to step hard on the accelerator pedal to awaken the potential or to stretch its potential so in coming years the car will be in optimum performance condition? Cause got saying like if you keep driving at low speed and low rpm, in coming years the car can’t soar already, not sure if it’s true.

1. Pump RON 97
2. Try manual mode, M+  or M-  jalan at Taman first, before you go out to main road.. Get familiarity with "MANUAL" gears..
3. Driving as normal, no need to press hard pedal.. What's the purpose by doing this? Normal road, max 80 km/h . Highway, max 110/h ..

Today's TECH engine is work well . Myths about the soft press pedal before 1k, after service, need to press harder pedal to certain speed,  to get engine function even better.. Driving normal, follow traffic rules, turn on signal, ..etc etiquettes are more important..

Okay noted, I was uncertain. Btw, why try manual mode?

Thanks!

M+ / M-  "MANUAL" gears were built in, no harm to Get familiarize these gears at taman road,  as you will experience different levels of driving styles.  Toyota should give paddle shifters, when in M + / -

Common issue for Vios owner, the Panoramic View Monitor has no timeout if u just park ur car with engine on which quite irked. To access the navigation system, all u have to do is restart the engine by turn off and on bangwall.gif

Yea, that’s one issue. But mine previously when speed up till like 30km/h, the panoramic screen will switch to navigation system automatically. Now even speed till 110km/h, the panoramic screen remained still... need long press the camera button every single time... 😞

Bought the prepaid maintenance package, went for 10,000km service.

The service centre representative said for semi-synthetic, only last for 7k or 4 months then will due for next service, is that true?

If it is like that then the prepaid maintenance package not so worth it. 🤢

I use fully 10k or 3 months.
How much is the prepaid?
*
RM1037 for 3 advance (semi-synthetic) & 1 advance plus (semi-synthetic).

I feel like if I take advance full synthetic 0w 20 for 2 times (last for 20,000km) is equal to 3 times the semi synthetic advance (last for 21,000km).

(Full synthetic) 282*2+442 vs 1037 (package)

1006 vs 1037

But the prepaid maintenance package got include 20% discount for certain service like alignment balancing & aircond etc.

I was thinking that all advance packages service will last the vehicle for 6 months or 10,000km regardless of the formulation, that’s why I bought this prepaid maintenance. I thought only the basic package will last for 5,000 or 3 months, you guys can refer to the maxcheck package list.

Mineral oil usually last for 5k
Semi synthetic last for 7k
Fully synthetic last for 10k

i've actually opt in for the free service thing as well.. the SA mentioned free service until 40k mileage. Assuming each normal service is around 1xx and major service will be 2xx-3xx.. i feel its still worth it..

I think mine prepaid maintenance package is different from yours, yours one free until 40k seems very good deal.

Mine I thought can tahan until 40k, one 10k, next 20k, then 30k, finally 40k. But now they said the semi synthetic only can tahan 7k, so I feel like kinda same if I go walk in and choose the full synthetic package which can last me 10k.

Hi, anyone use semi synthetic oil for their Vios?

Is it compulsory to service once in 4 months if use semi syn?

Or just follow the 6 months interval?

SC said semi syn is for 7,000km or 4 months interval, now already 4months+ but they never call me back to service, in the App it shows next service is at 6 months interval.

Dilemma, should I follow 4 months or 6 months interval?

Worry it would affect my warranty if I opt for 6 months interval...

Just because I bought the prepaid maintenance (never know it’s semi syn), if not I sure go for full syn no need so mafan.
