Coolant usually not so fast drop to bottom line unless tank or radiator hose leaking.

I checked my coolant just now also, after drive for 20 minutes.
I check when the car engine is still hot after driving.

Coolant level is like 1cm above the minimum line only... Coolant is blue color.
Still safe to drive out and no need to topup?

So far I didn't top up coolant as this is first time i check after let service centre checked it in end February..

But I drove my car for less than 4 months only. So fast coolant dropped to min level? Mmm...

i checked there is no leakage anything. not really 1 month from max to min. just it will become lesser so i just top up it only. will check again. will try ask about this when next service soon.

Top it up to MAX line and monitor on weekly basis. See how long it takes to drop til MIN line. Anything less that 6 months, you have a problem.

This one, is it?

My current is blue in colour.

Is it use this coolant in photos shown?

Buy it at Honda SC need make appointment or can just walk in like that?

The same one ur car is using now. Ur SC can advice you on this, get 1 bottle should be sufficient to topup.

Thanks for the info. Just bought it today at SC for RM28, 1 litre. The service advisor helped me to top up the coolant FOC.

Nah. No need make appointment just go in and buy, unless you wanna complain about this loss of coolant.

[/quote]

Yeah sure.

But this FOC topup is it consider 2nd Free Service ?

Great to hear! Now remember to regularly monitor the level and loss through the period.

Oh, cos it's included in the sales invoice with 0 charge for the check coolant level service.

Is it always engine is idle when parking will cause the coolant to drop faster ?
Got one time I sit in car engine idling for 1 hour+, and usually I let engine idle when parking for 15 to 30 minutes almost daily.

This coolant I checked during the engine still hot after stopped the car.

This morning I checked it again when engine is cold, and the coolant is just above the Min Level line. So I straight drive to SC and buy the coolant.

When I got my car, the coolant level is near the Max line. Then not sure is it because I always let engine idle when in parking mode cause the coolant drop faster than usual. I not driving outstation though.

I think when engine is cold, the coolant will absorbed back to engine and radiator that's why the coolant is lower.

Coolant top up is at the coolant white reservoir as in the photo. Unless the reservoir is entirely empty , then you check the coolant level at radiator and have to top up at radiator. But this info I get from some car advice, i'm not sure correct or not..

hrmm. then mean more long time the engine cold down more lower the coolant. because my one also same like u at that level at first then become lower.
btw the coolant top up is topup into that box in your image right? not into that radiator yah?

[/quote]

So, checking coolant level when the car is still cold before drive is accurate right ?

Before this, I drove Perodua but never top up coolant in 2 years, no problem.. lol

I think that checking coolant when engine is s cold is more accurate .

This morning I check it again and the coolant actually is higher around 0.5 to 1cm than last night when engine was hot. So topping up coolant while engine is hot would make the coolant level exceed the MAX line.

HIP insurance premium is higher and different price is it? Mine is just standard premium according to sum insured and add on windscreen purchased from Honda SA. I do received the HIP road tax sticker with call number and HIP folder with brochure, but didn't have HIP account number. Does it mean mine bought is not HiP covered?

I think I have policy card without policy number and vehicle number. Like a blank card.

I have insurance cover note from Liberty though but without vehicle number, and with chassis number, car model and name.

When reaching HiP policy renewal, I can renew online outside right and not continue with HiP? Do I need to inform Honda when I'm not renewing HiP?

Don't think my current policy with HiP. Cos before I asked my SA if my policy is HiP but he never says it's HiP. Just told me can call Honda toll-free number when car break down on the road.

What type and paint code for touch up paint for repairing this two scratches at rear bodykit modern steel?

The white scratches is it clear coat on the body kit ? Can remove by using Meguiars ScratchX or TurtleWax Scratch Remover ?

u mean rubbing compound ?

My front driver side rim accidentally hit the roundabout divider as the area no road lights at all and too dark, and now my rim got scratches at the round corner there... Side skirting oso scratch long at the near bottom but not so noticeable..

Would this scratch area becomes oxidize/ berkarat when long term exposed to rain and car wash?
Any way to repair this scratch at rim?
