[attachmentid=11124921] I supposed if the first oil change is in 4500 km, then you don't need to be paranoid like me lol

earlier when gotten car was not set at all
only shows ----

after this first service only see 4500

so i just reset again? lol

hmm maybe i'll just leave it as is. i'm ok for another oil change at that interval.
3.2 liters for a fairly powerful turbo engine, there's still going to be old oil in the various components of the car (turbo charger itself for example)

also, just an oil change at 360km, the car already feels smoother and quieter. probably placebo but hey, not seeing metal particles in a much cleaner oil makes me feel more at ease lol.

reject at all cost lol.
you want to flush, better just do an oil change like me

0w20 is pretty thin already, the car is direct injection, there's already fuel dilution... you still introduce engine flush? (that basically thins oils and breaks down deposits)
if they follow up an oil change 1-2 more times AFTER flush to flush out the flush materials itself (which may not even guarantee your car is totally flushed considering turbo components), you're going to have that continuously circulating in your engine components and potentially causing more wear than it should be.

and we know they don't do it, customers also not willing to pay for 1-2 more oil change on top of added flush... so... yeah. they just want a quick buck, your engine is your own responsibility, not Honda's. ESPECIALLY after warranty over.

Just to be clear, i don't think it is snake oil. it does have its purpose.
but without proper application, you'll be causing more harm than good, that's worse than snake oil that supposedly does nothing! you spend money to potentially increase more wear and tear to your engine!

and just in case, engine flush is not additives. it may contain additives for detergency and engine cleansing, but that's it. its purpose is to thin out oil and break down carbon deposits, hence a flush. carbon deposits /gunk/varnish etc may stick on engine parts, flush is to remove that.
what you're saying is correct, engine oil has additives for detergency as well, to prevent carbon build up etc
it cannot completely avoid as heat will accelerate carbon deposits forming. (turbo chargers a good recipe to do that lol, remember i said power is never free? this is one of the cost)

Like
1) very practical family car [agree]
2) the interior is a very nice place to be in, good healthy balance between digital gadgetry and displays, as well as analog tactile controls and switches. Majority of car functions are now user customizable instead of locked reserved to dealer/SC only access. [agree]
3) very easy and convenient power on demand [agree]

Dislike
1) very nitpicky
A) the center console thigh contact is hard plastic. I'm someone who anchors my left leg to the foot rest and center console for firm and sure footedness as I gain more confidence in some of my more spirited drivings. That's also cuz of the lack of bolsters from the seats as I'm used to semi bucket seats or even full bucket seats during my more Motorsports active days. [agree]
B) the rear camera resolution. My 2017 aftermarket rear camera had much better resolution and image quality. Honda camera leaves a LOT to be desired. Try reversing at night, any vehicle with headlamps will turn into a ball of light lol. [agree]

2) Honda Malaysia.
From their choice of specs [totally agree!!!] and pricing to the market competitiveness and their monopolization, and SC horror stories from servicing delays [disagree] to warranty claims [agree].
They oversell their car, their SC can't keep up, shit is bound to happen (Proton are on the same path with X50/X70 Dominance, it used to be HRV Monopoly) - I never had a problem with servicing delays, but warranty / repair times can be quite long. However, I guess servicing delays are a thing of the past now, since quite a number of dealers have opened up 3S/4S centres everywhere.

3) downsized turbo quirks and cons, along with CVT transmissions, and car being FF heavy/heavy front in general.
This is mainly my nitpick from a more sportier preference. Can consider me as old school, preferring to drive a lightweight rear wheel driven naturally aspirated manual transmission car.
In reality, this drive train is the way forward, and the pros far outweigh the cons. [neutral] - can understand, but FF is much easier to maintain, drive and lower cost compared to FR cars. Our current CVT will be replaced with eCVT (or i-MMD for Honda) in the near future though.

they are selling genuine wireless charger for civic. at 880RMB ( aka rm572 )

i say the rm99 wireless charger from shopee is good enough, easily removable too.

Do you guys think the road noise on FE is particularly loud?

Any idea where and how much to improve the road noise at the wheel arch?

Just test drive it today...

this is 2022 latest civic engine bay  doesnt even have the word honda anymore.

What does it means the std sae and kgm?

SAE is a prediction of what your HP/torque will be at a certain, accepted weather conditon. STD is what your car is actually putting out right at that exact moment.

STD numbers will be higher if the conditions are better than SAE (ie colder, less humid, high pressure), and conversely lower when the conditions are worse than SAE

Hi wish to check the tint from HM is good enough? Agent recommended ecotint, which seems to be good enough.

So what tint do you recommend?

Is it normal to have some wind sound around 100km/h?
Mine is V spec, the wind sound from A Pillar quite noticeable. Wondering if 1k service can ask SC to do something on it or install visor will helps.

Hi Civic owners. In early March I put in a booking for a red E. Still waiting. I would like to ask how the Honda Service works. If say you buy from Dealer X in say Seremban, can you send for service or warranty claim at say Dealer Y in PJ?

Also Honda Malaysia does not directly sell cars to end buyers right? You have to buy from an appointed dealer correct, is there a master dealer or are all dealers created equal? Is there any preferred dealer? I notice some dealers like Honda Glenmarie have big showrooms and service centres whereas others like the one I booked my car with - Honda Section 13 PJ have a much smaller showroom and service centre.

So this is a decent alternative:

Hello been following this thread for awhile finally I got my car less then a week ago

Actually what is the fuel tank capacity? Google some say 12.4gal which is 56 litre, some say 46 litre…

Haven't get my car but I am quite surprised to read the fuel consumption here. For Civic FC, I am able to get ~13-14 km/l for city driving and 18-19 km/l for highway run.

Yes, it's tuned differently and has more power, and maybe slightly heavier but the different is quite alot. Hopefully I can achieve 11-12 km/l for my driving style.
