QUOTE(SabunDettol @ Dec 25 2017, 12:24 AM) Grabs trying to balance out the fares bc soon there won't be any incentives just like sg. Uber is still fighting but the market obviously belongs to grab. Let's just hope of the rumors of Lyft coming down is real else the future belongs to grab whether ppl like it or not. what grab in SG no incentive? 😱This post has been edited by moosekaka: Dec 25 2017, 12:47 AM |

QUOTE(JohnL77 @ Dec 25 2017, 02:14 AM) Hehe.. I feel like this papaya is code for something not fruit...Today do high fare with Uber not bad. Evening time got Boost up to 2.4x. I purposely drive to Boost area to get ping. 13km job, take about 30 minutes to pick up and drop-off, get RM34 after deduct commission. After that sapu Surge. Today's main mission was to go eat papaya. Damn expensive papaya. RM110 per biji. Before eat papaya, drive a bit, after eat papaya, go eat a real meal, then drive a bit more then go home. 6 trips, net about RM100 after deduct commission. Too bad my last trip Uber wrongly calculate the distance as less than 1km. Hopefully they will rectify it. Today's eat papaya adventure, mileage 135km. After plus petrol RM22 and minus what I earned from Uber, only spent RM142 to eat 2 big papayas. Not bad. |

QUOTE(JohnL77 @ Dec 25 2017, 05:30 AM) No. I just want better protection for my engine since I'm doing U/G. In fact, last time Proton said need to change oil every 5000km if use semi-synthetic. Now they said they've run their tests and it's okay to use the semi-synthetic oil until 10000km. But I still think better go with the fully synthetic oil. Pay a bit more is better than car breaking down, especially if got passenger. GG liao...if you read your warranty booklet....if you use your car as taxi it invalidates warranty.Engine oil grade need to check the receipt. I want to tido already. Later la. Good night morning. |

QUOTE(marmurra @ Dec 26 2017, 03:52 AM) There were comparisons about the type of petrol which was offered by current operators or shall I say refiners. lol... there are consumer reports studies in USA show that modern engine oil can last 10k MILES which means at least 15k km also no problem. SN grade non synthetic some more.Let’s play a quiz about which are the top 2 petrol brands most suitable for local demand. (Main criteria is for short & long distance driving). Your answer is ......🤓🤓🤓 In any vehicle it’s best don’t behave differently from the vehicle being owned. That’s why new cars are highly recommended to perform ‘break-in’ for the 1st year. I was thinking about 5w 30 coz it jerks while gear changing & acceleration. By the way, don’t take 10k mileage as guide coz it’s inaccurate. Always feel the engine behavior....usually it’s lacky while driving. I discovered it while using semi & workshop recommends 7k as guide. Most semi’s are 5k recommended coz of the mixture molecularly. those 5k recommendations from long ago was when engine oil grades were much lower (before SH) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/...-change-truths/ This post has been edited by moosekaka: Dec 26 2017, 01:09 PM |

QUOTE(S3phiroth @ Dec 26 2017, 01:47 PM) There r a lot of old time practice in malaysia despite improvement in modern day tech. Simply because it is all about money. well e article in the link already pointed it out... the car service centers profit if you have to change the oil frequently.. so it benefits them la to tell you to change oil more frequent. and they can easily sell the story by pointing it out that it's good insurance.I usually extend my service mileage by at least 20-30%. same as dentists tell you to go checkup twice a year. |

QUOTE(yhtan @ Dec 26 2017, 02:10 PM) the oil filter can stand for 10k km only, so within that limit still ok. the thing about engine feeling sluggish.. is completely unreliable and dependent on driver feeling which is highly likely susceptible to bias (just like drivers day this brand petrol give better performance, FC etc). the way they determine is to take oil samples and examine for the particle count (metal deposit). that's the only reliable way.If u fee sluggish, probably is time for oil change. But then for driver doing this for full time, it is better to use full synthetic. btw oil filter tech is also improving. anyway like the article say, the worst kind of wear is during startup and when engine is cold. so if you do Grab then short trip wear shoes not apply to you. PS: just when to service my axia at perodua SC. they give fully synthetic 0-20 oil. This post has been edited by moosekaka: Dec 26 2017, 02:28 PM |

QUOTE(coolguy99 @ Dec 27 2017, 04:20 PM) just did my first 4 trips with grab. my opinion below. short trips is the MOST profitable if you play the right system 2. short trips are not profitable unless you are gunning for incentive QUOTE(akagidemon @ Dec 27 2017, 04:25 PM) 4 trips and u start the complaint. closing in on 3k trips soon. is always the noob drivers complain earn RM10 per hour bla bla blasome of the drivers here 2k plus trips and still going strong. you have to adapt and strategized accordingly and in real time even if you are just a part timer. incentive game is good if your area got alot of shor trips but some are not lucky so they get medium to long trips or like me, i prefer the 8pm till 5am drive time. coolguy99...when you first day on the job, did you already complain about your low salary and working hrs, boring job etc?
