as mention by user above, even Honda Authorize Workshop still live in old kapcai era. recommend service 1000 or 2000 km.
i show the book and PDF from honda website, they did not want to follow. no way im going for 3 months/2000km once to service. as my scooter did not use daily, im going for either 9 months or 12 months. still 23XX km right now. edit: to get that 6000 km, need to use full synthetic. Honda only provide semi.  This post has been edited by awol: Feb 1 2025, 09:48 AM |

QUOTE(WH4CockcooBird @ Feb 1 2025, 10:08 AM) No need fully synthetic to go 6000km. It's not specified in the booklet. i cant remember where i read, but the engine oil type wrote there is fully synthetic.Recommend you to do unnecessary servicing = more revenue. Wait till you show them you can use normal car's engine oil for your scooter. Also a big scooter group using diesel engine lube for their scooter and swear by it. Those scooters reportedly done over 50,000km servicing only on Shell Rimula X. Is there anything wrong? No, not at all. Only those living in gua tempurung will feel it's wrong. Modern lube is usable for both petrol and diesel engine (higher heat, more exhaust particle to "hold" in the lube). Look for API SN/CF, one example.  yeah, dont waste money following whatever workshop "recommend". |

QUOTE(WH4CockcooBird @ Feb 2 2025, 10:26 AM) 10W-30 is viscosity rating i.e. how "thick" (in layman term) is the oil. from honda bottle of AT 10W-30, it show as fully synthetic.It's nothing about mineral or synthetic. QUOTE(yhsiau @ Feb 2 2025, 06:55 PM) WTF!? I thought BW SC is professional. They also practicing same shits as the impian X SC. im going to impian. but not regularly. not gonna follow the sticker too. |
