Bermaz SC definitley won't allow that as they will only use the available Shell full syn oil and charge you extra for that.
Not sure about dealers SC

I serviced my car from dealer SC, same also have to pay for fully synthetic oil.
They just simply wash outside my car and didn’t do vacuum as promised to do it free for me.

Why SC only provide 5W30 oil, heard this 5w30 is suitable for 1.6L and below car to use.
For 2.0L car normally use 5w40 and above...
Anyone can clarify on this or who’s already done the sixth service.

You can change to 5w40 full synthetic engine oil but need to top up. You can use 5w30 semi synthetic la but don't expect it to last 10k mileage. Preferable to change it once every 5-6k. Sadly Mazda's service is at 10k or 6 months interval. So I guess have to fork out own money and change it at 5k mileage after the free service.

That's for petrol variant ya. Diesel variant's service is using full synthetic engine oil - no extra charge.

Definitely worth it. For 15k you get a lot more features. But it'll be up to your financial capability.

Well you are already paying so much. It wouldn't makes much difference in terms of monthly payment for additional 15k - at least that's what I had in mind.

For an over 100k car, without those keyless entry, leather seats, safety sensors, safety features, big white and bright LED lights and etc...it just doesn't feel good

So far so good. A bit of complaints here and there but it's just minor stuffs.

Road tax 200+ I think? Insurance depends on your NCD. No NCD probably would be 4k+

How much is the GLS now? Previously they kept it at the same price but instead of reducing it after SST, it came with power boot. Now I heard they offers 5 years services at the cost of 2k extra.

So after adding in insurance, how much more is it than during the pre-GST and SST period?

Can't expect to pay Japanese price but expect continental quality ya

Yes like iq_myst has mentioned, now only DUKE highway supports deducting the e-wallet balance instead of the card balance. I guess in future other highway would follow.

For other highways, I guess now the app only lets you track the transaction history and balance.

Ya man the car vibrates like a massage chair but the problem goes away as it accelerates. This car memang not for standing still

To be honest, the engine is not that quiet as well given the high compression ration (not sure if that's related). It might be even noisier than a diesel engine if you stand outside your car. But inside the car you don't feel it (good NVH)

Not all can accept this kind of feature. Make sure to test drive it properly before deciding to buy it.

I guess some people are just more sensitive. I can feel the vibrations everywhere. Especially during idling at traffic light with Auto Hold. It's a bit better if set to Neutral.

I can even feel the road condition I am driving on. Hard road, soft road, tiles road, some deformation on road, some hole on road and etc.

I disabled the i-Stop so the engine is on when idling. I guess it's the nature of this car to vibrate this strong

Baru service 2 months ago

Never tried max speed. Takut takut.

The highest I've tried is 180 and it doesn't feel as steady as a conti car would.

Up to 160 is okay.

Idling tuning. I already did that. That solves 80% of the vibration issue.

For the peace of mind I used both pedal lock and steering lock I think it's up to where you parked your car usually.

Off topic: My power window at the driver side is making some squeaking noise. Macam rubber sound?

Unsure yet since it wasn't official announced but I guess should have come with AA.

Contis suspension, balance and car weight is simply on a different level. I doubt we can mod much to fight that. Even if we can do, it'll be definitely sacrifices something else.

Well you wouldn't know unless you can feel it. It's not like they give you the bottle after they filled it in.

Well if you are doubtful you can always go to the servicing area and look at what they are doing. I did that sometimes. Saja nak sampat. Some of the mechanics and employees there are friendly. I chat with them on many things.

On topic, I do not know how to differentiate the engine oil without sending it to the lab. If you are worried, you can fork out the money yourself and change it again.

Helix Ultra is actually the fully synthetic engine oil. I think diesel variant uses that for their free services. For petrol variant, we only get HX7 which is semi synthetic. You can top up to use Helix Ultra instead.

Didn't add strut bar. Unless you are gonna race with it or do very sharp corners, don't see the need for further modification. GVC is not a very big deal it does help a bit.
