Yes. Pickup our myvi can win yaris even vios. But when come to mid to high range rpm.........those car eat myvi alive. Myvi win in term of pick up is because myvi is light or should i said is a kosong car.
*

no choices, i cant argue bcos i didnt look on the progress 100% while changing engine oil...

kosong meh? if u look on myvi and saga engine bay, totally 2 different world... sweat.gif

Yup, they eat up your RM4 like thatlah i guess. Now, i have my own place to service. Dam fast, friendly and somore they call u up to see. hehe. The mechanic said to me who teach you every time service have to change the gasket. I also confuse. So far each time i service (every 10k) i only change oil filter N engine oil. Then they will check the rest. If they found out something not right they consult with you first. Like that lor better. If p2, they will say Hello encik, tolong duduk dalam. Luar sini bahaya. Kita tak ada insurance utk encik  sweat.gif
*

every 10k service interval? using p2 engine oil? sound risky... sweat.gif
even i used eneos also not dare to over 8000km, will change once 7500km reached...

actually p2 still will consult u also if found any damage parts...
but for the normal services they will follow the service package list and quote us...
like labour charges for normal services, quote RM25++... somemore oledi earn profit from the parts they sold to us sweat.gif
i rather DIY myself and get cheap parts, later treat myself eat a FRIDAY meal... rclxm9.gif

I just had done my 2nd service last weekend.FOund out that you cant use other oil for the 1st 3 services.After that you can use other oil but must be by perodua.SWT........

after service the engine was ultra smooth man..
*

what u means can use other oil but must be perodua brand?
like u say liao like no say also... tongue.gif

if u service at perodua SC, for sure they not allow u to use ur own oil...
if u want to use ur own oil, u even can do it from the 1000km, 5000km, 10000km... but for sure not secure lah if anything wrong between the 3 services... if after 3 services, and parts damaged may consider as wear & tear or improper usage...

Meaning 1st three services must use the silver bottle Perodua oil.THen after that,can use the gold colour bottle oil by perodua oso.Gold colour more expensive but they say it is for Viva.THe silver one more for myvi...I think i wan to try the gold wan.
*

i think even for the 1st 3 service, u still can request for p2 gold bottle engine oil. i think the mechanic wanna free hassle, they want to quote u same as service package list or they already make the billing... or they dont know gold engine oil can be use on any car also since is SM spec. whistling.gif all the gasoline engine oil can be use on any car, just depend on whether the engine oil suitable for the engine or not like xxW-xx...
QUOTE(doremon @ Feb 27 2008, 09:42 PM)
Aiya sorry i was not that specific hehe  tongue.gif . Of course not 100% goldlah my friends  tongue.gif . It's mix with lor. Like season already like 18% gold color like that lor (karat2 a bit). But still can see the gold2 color abit. When i ask the mechanic guy, they put the oil at the palm hand and rub it. Still smooth like that lor. I also dun quite understand  tongue.gif  they say still can use lor after 10k somore. Sorry before i was not specific  notworthy.gif
*

lol... if ur oil still gold, highly believe ur engine powered by electric... tongue.gif
but still dont take the risk, feeling is different... maybe bcos oil filter still function properly and oil doesnt contain any dirty deposits... if u take the oil to lab test, the acid level may shock u... higher acid level may damage ur engine faster... otherwise u DIY to change engine oil urself, drain up the oil and pour out little by little, u can see the visible deposits sink under the oil even though used 5000km only...

and see from dipstick engine oil color wont be accurate... try to drain out all the engine oil, u will shock how black is the engine oil... look on the bottle having some oil, still look transparent, but once u look on the oil... blackie... rclxub.gif

depends on the meter la..wat i noticed is the meter tends to drop more if u turn off the car and back on again.
for ex: my frequent trip to and fro kl...i know the its gonna use up 1 bar...but then the bar remains lit. when i reach home, i turn the key to off and back on again...now the bar drops...

myvi fuel tank is 40L.....40x1.92=76.8  if ron92 40x1.88=75.2
*

yeah... same with me, 80% of the time bar will drop 1 level while turn on and off the car, but for short trip only lah...
if long trip sure will drop itself while travelling...

about the fuel bar thingie..

according to my cousin (a kind of person that dare to push car to the no fuel till push car or walk to nearest petrol station or take cab buy RM 3 petrol guy.)
myvi fuel got 1 bar will blink till engine stop only wor.. no like no blink wan..
will keep blinking and blinking only..
i wandering when no fuel does he panic no notice on dashboard? hmm.gif
*

dont rely on the fuel gauge although is digital...
not matter digital or analog gauge, both of them still rely on a "float" things...
it go up and down while driving, will affect the gauge accuracy also.
or maybe float holder defected also effected the accuracy.

damn soft lor..
today got 1 noob myvi driver suddenly eat to my lane without signaling.. beside the myvi got 1 toll truck taking a merc eating to same lane.. mad.gif
i fast long horn but still eat to my lane.. i keep to right and nearly can cross the divider lor.. got some sound.. no calar my body ok liou.. i think rim got kena liou..  vmad.gif
CB lor.. eat to my lane no signal... today 2 -3 times also kena like tat.. rclxub.gif

i think no difference even u change to "tiger" horn bah...
they ignore will just ignore not matter how loud if ur horn...
unless u install loudspeaker like old newspaper van, ambulance or police car...
scold the driver in front of other drivers by using mic while driving... rclxms.gif

just drive slowly next time, some driver cant estimate the speed of the behind car and suddenly change to fast lane... if change lane without signal is fine, but hogging fast lane without overtake or overtake slowly... shakehead.gif

Hummm, just to check with you all fine people here, how frequent should we polish our interior (like dashboard,leather seat,roof etc)? Currently, i already engage with this shop using turtle something product. I am using the turtle for high end internal polishing. But the smell aiyoyo just like new car when i first buy my myvi. I can't quite stand the smell. Make me feel like vomiting (pms) lolz. Any profesional advise from you guyz ? tq in advance
*

maybe 2-3 months should sufficients i think...
after i apply interior detailing, can last me 2 months at least before it started to fade...

but the smell will gone after 1 week...
