a lot of condition that determine if your istop is going to kick in. If its only 10-15 sec then its negligible for your fuel saving. The istop will work for maximum for 1 mins to 2 mins max. Once your ac temp is raise then it will kick start or when u release ur brake pedal.

Are you a fan of i-stop? i am not.. the EFB battery is difficult to be charged. If you are driving in short distance everyday, your battery will not get proper charge. If the temperature of the battery reaches 45 deg celcius, it doesnt charge for safety purpose. When your battery doesnt get charged up properly and it gets discharge over time sulfation happened and it will reduce ur battery holding power capacity. That's why a lot of owner will required to change the battery every year or every 1.5 year and the price of the battery is not cheap.

congraz ya.. mazda is like tat 1, brand selling by its own.. not salesman.. salesman duduk je..

they still need to work on ur paperwork after you confirm the booking. I mean mostly they dont hardsell their car... a lot of those who looks for mazda already familiar with the car else nobody would spend extra to buy mazda while you have honda and toyota.

dull or fading? if fading make sure ur dashboard are covered under sun. expose to too much sun is not good for your dashboard and steering wheel. The first is going to worn out is the steering wheel. the leather will start peeling off. The dashboard will not last long also..

how impressive you want it to be?

you smoke? if you send ur car for wash then they will lap for you too.. lazy to wash too?

Gold Class will give u better shine Ultimate will give u better lasting.. but Quik Wax doesnt build for long lasting. Need manual waxing to provide better lasting.. Quik Wax is more to add on for finishing. For Malaysia weather it hadly last more than 2 weeks per application.

all Quik product doesnt last in our weather.. it has to be applied every wax every 2-3 months then use these quik product for best shining and water beading effect. i used to do it on my small car but CX is not small so i send it for coating rather than waxing it myself

in this thread bro? would like to read about the arguement..

for long distance actually make sense kekeke..

normal la u see then group every now and then will start to ask why my christmas light all on d.. the ori battery doesnt last long..

i m using varta i got it from SC a bit exp

here is where the funny parts come in.. battery for petrol come with at least 1 year of warranty..
before warranty ends SC either says nothing/says nothing wrong with the battery. but once the battery out of warranty d the SC comes to show me the battery reading says my battery is out.. even though i havent see christmas light.

if u r driving it on daily basis and cover certain distance per drive your battery should be healthy.. mine is not a daily driven.. so i use a battery conditioner to ensure that the battery doesnt get discharged too much over time

your 2.2D also have 1 year battery warranty?

both amaron and varta now belongs to the same company under Johnson control
amaron they do not have Q85 type earlier. now i think they have this already. Just ensure you are getting the Q85 type. Pricing i remember i read it somewhere cheaper than varta but not like a lot..

petrol and diesel different.. diesel required more power to power the glow plugs thats why under normal circumstances the warranty for battery meant for diesel vehicle only for 6 months

thats pretty good outside they only gave u 6 months unless its brand like amaron or varta.. maybe longer

seems like many of u r having diesel model.. remember to bring up some speed from time to time to take care of your dpf. stuck in traffic everyday is not good for the diesel particle filter

its the same like comparing persona 1.6 vs vios 1.5
in general 1.6 > 1.5 at any time. But will u take persona over vios?


Considering the cost of FS 5w40 and you r right the rating lower the vicousity better. But its a different grade between FS and SS. If you got budget go for 0W30 Shell Helix Ultra from your SC.
