I brought a Axia advance on 2016 and it is 9 years now. since Axia is 1.0 4at, i just press full pedal all the way. currently axia did not give me trouble yet, but with my driving pattern, engine will koyak 1 day. i heard normal car will have a big service on 10 years. so i m dilemma on :-

1.) sell the axia and buy a second hand car. due to my golden foot, cvt cars isnt for me at all. and i dont wan to spend so much since my already brought my current axia for 42k. i targeted 2nd hand mazda 2 2018 for roughly RM42k on the carsome/carro/carlist apps (if axia trade in RM20k, i only top up RM22k which i think is kinda ok to me). but again 7 years car and additional RM22k it is worst it?
2.) keep using axia, when big service, just repair and continue using axia until he is retired. actually i like axia very much but there r only 2 things annoy me, vibration and the 1.0 engine (extra low hoursepower).
based on this, wat is the opinion and suggestion?
*
if you can afford, sell the axia now while it still fetches a good price.

put down depo for a better car .

kaki tekan, don't use produa. you are only endangering yourself and others.

also we are getting old , surely body not react the same way . if you are in your 20's, no prob use axia. once you hit 30s or even 40s, if you can afford, i would advice to change..

Bad advise

Just get original P2 synthetic and use for 10k km intervals. Labor is also cost.

“Change early” takes time AND money and recycled shit brand oils are proven to gunk up and kill your engine.

You eat heroin or crack also felt awesome. Won’t kill you immediately one. Ini bukan /k pls go back there.

Getting original EO from service center provides peace of mind.

So yeah, trying multiple unknown brands is really pushing your luck at the expense of your engine.

If daily city drive for work, stick to axia.
Cheaper maintenance.

If drive on highway more then mazda 2.

Keep in mind buying second hand cars is like buying lottery.
If you hit the jackpot prepare for major service.

No,blotter spot test cannot differentiate if an engine oil is fake or not. It may indicate engine oil conditions at relevant km reading, which in your case I personally am not 'impressed' with this Honda fullsyn for now, in relation to the Aisin 5W30 above.


no worries to me. so far biker complains are far more affected by unknown lubes than cars

Most of us can only afford one car and regular oil change with a reputable source minimize the risk of fake lubricants.

No worries for you maybe but to recommend unknown oils without a reputable company backing it in open forum, you're going to be called out as irresponsible.

I would not recommend using any engine oil until 10k km. Its proven many times this would harm the engine causing issues down the road.
Even nissan legendary gtr engine builder said it will harm engine and its much better even to use the cheapest brand oil and change frequently.

driving a 2015 axia. super reliable, never gave any problems. I don't even service on time, only once around 13 - 14 months. this car is built to last. easy to park in small places.
only issue is comfort, power and maybe safety, lacking in these 3 areas. don't get me wrong, it's still OK. The car is very suitable for city driving. As for long distance, it can still go from point A to B, just keep your expectations under control. Overall, a wise man's choice especially for those who do not wish to splurge on depreciating assets and want peace of mind.

Cheapest genuine oil is not the issue.
Fake oil is the problem and its prevalent here.

Even my regular mechanic cut the empty EO plastic container into half threw it in front of the shop to stop the syndicate keep asking for it.

The shell helix ultra is proper high end stuff for bargain price sold by lotus. And they won’t sell fakes.

It really is Ferrari factory fill oil…

if you have family/dependents, get a new car with the latest safety features, e.g 6 airbags, adas , etc.
if still single but need a better car to get the girls, then upgrade, if not, then just maintain

Too bad not cheap ady, while some lotus outlets no more car accessories section. If got the retail price is rm249, maybe because of the sirim implementations. Last time tesco rm149 terus buy 2 botols.

Tested bold fully 10w 40 just rm20.90 on my bike. Easy start and accelerations feels 'sharp' and fuel saving. But after 200km running, got clutch slip problem the gear indicator blinking and the bike tend to overheat after running 20 km in hot day afternoon. End up change castrol 'synthetic base' rm40, all problem gone.

My car i got using bold atas 5w 40, no problem running 10k+ km. Just that when release the old oil, the mechanic comment that the oil more like liquid rather than oil.

Yea i think the motor oil not fully optimized. Even my bike when change to bold oil 10w40 fs, its harder to engage gears for around 20km i think. After that its smooth already. So i think when it mixed with other gear oil it becomes funny.

But my kawasaki ninja still continue using bold till today no issue.
