well
depends on thing

like the tinting
they can claim unauthorised installation can have water seepage to the electronics below the dash

the rear spoiler has brake light
so unauthorised installation with connection can claim to short out the system

the SC can play the 6-degree game,link this to that to invalidate the warranty
becos simply, any warranty claim to honda will be scrutinized

if honda dont wan to honor, also cannot do anything

If it involves drilling or wiring, I would go to SC. Like the sports pedal I installed. Outside shop only RM70++ with installation. SC charge RM200++ with installation. Of course material/quality also different as SC one is from Honda Access.

Up to owners really.

Did you follow 5 months or just stick to 6?

my mileage is approaching soon so i dont bother for now

Yeah. Since I don't use the car much I always hit 6 months before the MM is due. Last service was A+10k. Next will be B+20K.
It should be ok for me to ignore what the SC is saying and stick to 6 months right? I wrote to Honda Malaysia but they're not replying.

I don't mind paying extra for the ease of mind but the Honda don't have the back wing that I want wo. Can buy outside and ask them to pasang? lol

I'd recommend to always follow the original Honda maintenance schedule - 6 months or 10,000KM, whichever is first. They have no basis to ask you to do later or earlier - unless Honda Malaysia comes out with a different maintenance advisory, but so far, none yet.

well
the honda wing spoiler is quoted RM 1.6K+
outside you can get ~20-30% cheaper

but then why would SC help you pasang.
The RM 1.6K also included with the installation fee

so SC is obligated to pasang for you
outside model you pay outside, not money to honda pocket

If only they have the back wing that I want I don't mind paying for installation fee if I bring my own back wing and it doesn't void warranty thing.

Sadly I guess it just doesn't work that way.

it really down to your SC/SA

if yours is simply spoiler and the only thing is hole drilling
then if there is issue with the front part, engine, electrical etc

should not be effected by the installation

but, again, down to your SA/SC to fight for your case, if it happens

apa design you are looking at?

my SC send all honda car to 3rd party accesories shop to do tinted, modulu bodykits.. if void warranty, then dont know la.. but if your car dint have purchase spoiler list in system, then it can be a issue that void your warranty

Tu Civic Type R mia spoiler lo. Or something similar.

Thanks. That's what I thought as well. I don't see the point of servicing a month early.

no la, i m not worried, just giving some opinions, in fact i bought a year end car also on 2017
just opinion on if one car owner decided change car every 4-5 years, year end car make some impact, if drive for 8-9 years++, make lesser impact on RV

RV also depends on other factors like accident free, car condition... etc, year of manufacturer is one of it only

my previous toyota vios is beginning of year Jan car, after 9 years, the second market boss told me, if year end and Jan, just diff RM2k lol meaning 2008 Dec vs 2009 Jan, RM2k diff haha

I think those opt for 0w-20 engine oil into their turbo civic is going to be disaster.
0w-20 meant for low rev and save fuel and it provide the least protection.
I don't think the engine will last long if you always use the turbo.

For those who always high rev and drive fast, better get 5w-30 or 10w-30 for better protection. 10w-30 also quite fuel economical also.

Anyone signed up with TMCC at kepong to wash car?
Want some review

If the oil used by Honda is good oil, and if the car's tolerance is designed for 0w-20 oil, the car will be fine.

Using thicker oil, will make your less efficient. Also, if you use thinner "W" oil, it's better for start up.

Use thicker oil, if you are going to track the car for extra protection.

its ok, new engine should use thinner oil and shouldn't be a prob, just trust HM

Exactly

Seriously, how often do you run at maximum boost? If you drive at the track, or almost always run at 4K rpm or higher, by all means, go get the higher priced 10w30 to protect your engine.

90% of the drivers here are sensible enough to just save their money, and just get the 0w-20 - which still protects the engine properly. You can still drive hard, sure, but 99% of the time I drive, I just drive normally to save on fuel costs.

as per the FAQ on page 1: What type of engine oil should I use for my new Honda Civic?
Honda recommends that you use a Genuine Honda Motor Engine Oil or another commercial engine oil of suitable SAE viscosity for the ambient temperature of the country. Your Honda Civic is compatible with 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30 and 10W-30 viscosity rating oils. However, it is recommended that you use 0W-20 oil as it is formulated to improve fuel economy.
