Have you guys encountered white spots or patches on leather dashboard in car? Guna jari or siku ter-touch the leather area inside the car pun ada white mark/spot/patches.

Ada solution other than wiping with a damp clothes frequently? Very irritating.

Heard Meguaiar leather products can help.

Ya lo, but dont know which Meguairs product will work. Is our dashboard made of leather or vinyl?

Is this different than SCBS? Ini kena ask our sifu skeith

SBS do sounds familiar like SCBS but for high speeds...hmm I don't know if our car has it. Have to ask sifu skeith since he did a lot of the tinkering in the car

Happens to me also. It sounds an alarm when I was cruising above 120 km/h and the car in front suddenly brakes. There's some distance between us but it's a good warning system.

SCBS-F or SBS in work?

Don't know..when got alert terus tekan brake with leg. No time to notice if there's any auto brake lol.

But I think we dont have SBS kot.

But how to differentiate? Both also auto breaks and both also got warning. Unless u drive faster cause SBS works in mid to high speed but it would be dangerous to test it

What brand and product you using ya?

Wipe on your dashboard?

Hmm..is there a Meguair product's equivalent to this? Was looking at Meguair Ultimate Protectant but it's for vinyl, plastic and rubber - not for leather

Good recommendation bro but this only cleans and no conditioner wo...can prevent fingerprints and white spots?

Was thinking these:

I stick back to petronas after trying few brands. I felt no difference. But I can feel the difference between 95 and 97.

Additionally can get 8% cash back for petronas haha.

Okay just went to do my 10k service at Auto Tulin, Kepong. Very good service attitude from the staffs.

Asked a few things and here is what I got. They received a memo not to change ATF or gear oil for customers but they can changed it for us at any mileage after we signed the consent letter else have to wait til 100k mileage.

You can change to fully synthetic engine oil but it's 5w-40 and have to top up 120.

The major services at 100k which is by that time already out of the free service and parts coverage will cost around 1.8k.

They have battery replacement services which cost about 510 including labor cost and the brand is Delcor.

Yep. Either that or change outside. I don't want to change only at 100k mileage. Way too late.

They will only change it at scheduled service at 100k mileage. Anything before that voids warranty to the gearbox. That is why I said it won't last that long if we don't change it like 20k or 40k mileage.

Exactly. My usual practice is to change the ATF oil once a year or once every 20k or 40k km. After all, ATF oil is cheaper than the gear box.

Of course they are hoping your gearbox to fail when it's out of warranty. There have been cases of the ATF oil turning bad or having smell when they changed it to 100k. In fact we have one specific case mentioned by newhouseowner here. I saw another case at Mazda Facebook group as well.

Also I am unsure how does the ATF oil for 100k mileage works under different environment. Ideally it should be okay for 100k but under what condition? Our weather here is hot and humid, not to mention the heavy traffic and bad road condition.

I believe that ATF oil is cheaper than the gearbox. Perhaps changing it outside by third party could prevent this warranty void

Of course, you can believe what you want to believe. I am not saying everyone must change their ATF oil. It's just my choice to do it around 40k mileage.

Dont know yet. Have to check with those who changed it already. I have not even hit 10k mileage yet...so it'll be a while til I hit 40k mileage...which will be like 2-3 years later lol

Good read. From there I found few more threads which shows that the "lifetime" ATF oil thing is not so lifetime after all.

Probably around 40k ish mileage. Might do drain and refill method.

Just saw someone discussing about changing ATF oil. Looks like most of them agreed that we should change it before even 100k mileage.
