Guys
For the first servicing, is it better to change to synthetic oil?
some of my friend ask me to change to synthetic oil during the first servicing while the others ask me to change at the 3rd servicing.
another issue. for the FC i am getting like 8.5km/L base on the calculation from the car. i just got my car on last sat and the millage now is around 220km. i am driving from SK to Tuas daily.
Is it because the car is still new and the engine had not kick in? or i had heavy footing?
I kept the RPM at around 1500 to 2000. Did not exceed 2000 when moving off.
What are possible reason for the High FC?
-
bro i think you see wrongly. on the screen is show as L/100KM. so what you see should be 8.5L/100KM. do some simple math and your FC should be 11.76KM/L. I hope you can sleep better now. haha...
-
I will advise you to use mineral oil for first servicing as you will need to change again during 2nd servicing at 5000km since mineral oil is foc.
-
Hi
I thinl you have misread the FC value. It should be litre per 100km (l/100km)
And it is better to change to syn oil after the first 10000km.
Merry xmas and a Happy New Year...
-
Yep... agree with the contributors here... change to synthetic oil only when you go for 10,000km servicing.
The 8.5 value you see is 8.5l/100km so that works out around 11.8km/l which is quite alright.
My Latio Sports just hit 2000km, still on mineral oil after 1000km servicing. FC averages around 13+km/l or 7.6~7.8l/100km since I collected the car.

mine is alos currently ~2000KM. but i clock 8.6 or 8.7L/100KM leh... maybe i got too strong leg. haha...

WAHAHAHAA ! aft reading this i just go and read mine ytd. its 9.8L/100Km ! :nonod:

I am also quite lead footed at times, especially when accelerating to hit 'top speed' on a highway, away from traffic lights and overtaking. The trick is to avoid braking where possible and drive smoothly when your car is cruising.
Anyway, very happy with the FC of this car, considering that it is still on mineral oil, with Nismo BK and I have upsized to 16" rims, still much better than my previous Korean ride which has no BK, on 15" rims and 1.4L engine. :thumbsup:

thanks guys so the lower the value the better it is... guess i be using up the 3 free servicing then change to a better oil... next what grade of petro you guys pump? 95 ?
-
Believe most of us pump Ron95 fuel here, I am a Shell user as it always gives me good FC regardless of car I drive. Some others who uses SPC reported good FC too. I am in the opinion that Esso and Mobil sell fuel that is the most diluted. :D

All the while I pumping Caltex Gold. :smile:
-
i am using ron 95>> caltex silver
FC is ard 11.5km/L... not very good..Dont know if it is because of caltex or not.. BUT stick to caltex cos i can pump petrol when i go for work in the morning haha
lazy to detour
-
Try Shell 95... really very good for FC. :thumbsup:
-
All the while I pumping Caltex Gold. :smile:
Does Caltex Gold 98RON give better mileage and power than Caltex Silver 95RON (or any 95RON in general)?
-
Try Shell 95... really very good for FC. :thumbsup:
i pump that last night hahaha
but now i am consider of getting a credit card to get more discount on fuel, any suggestion?
-
i have used 95RON of both Shell & Esso for first 3 months of driving my Latio. No difference for the 2 brands.
Then i switched to Shell 92RON 2 months ago. Again, no difference in FC between 95RON & 92RON. However, for my last 2 tanks my FC has improved from 11km++/litre to 13km++/litre. i believe this is my car running in coz no change in driving pattern - 90% city driving.

Don't ask ******** question again if you have nothing better to do. Save your post count ******** on me.

for me i choose the petrol station that is nearest to my hse>>> Caltex with OCBC credit card (inhouse 5% + credit card 5%)
i know Esso is DBS credit card, SPC is POSB.
I believe all credit cards give the the same std 5% additional discount (unless there is some promotions)
Some credit cards gives addition 3% rebates (citibank dividend card & POSB Everyday card) but do take note is that some of the cards have a minimum spending of $300 to 400 per month before u get some the rebates

Alex aka Jazz,
I wish to remind you again to refrain from getting personal with personal attacks and name calling.
This is totally unprovoked & uncalled for, and speaks volumes of your character and immaturity.
-
LOL this is getting so silly.

You only showed how to disgrace yourself and reveal your poor upbringing, BTW school reopen tomorrow, go get yourself equip with proper education. It really rude of you to call my name instead of nick.
I have came across quite a number of uncouth people like you in the forums, providing BS and mis-leading info, but you, will get hostile and challenge back and malign people, I try to control my patience not to get affected by your nonsentical posts but you still choose to trigger and provoke me with your self-indulgent replies.
As I mentioned before, you can continue your post count wh*re but save your breath on me unless you want to have more unpleasant exchange with me, I always game just pity on my fingers.
In fact I have to give Thanks to you for being a joker to amuse me on the first day of 2009. :thumbup:
-
Hey c'mon guys, leave the past behind, and look forward to the new year. 1st day of 2009 only and this is happening??? let's make the forum friendly and welcoming shall we?

Thank you for stepping in, Carmodz. :smile:
Hopefully this knocks some sense into Alex (Jazz).
It's a concern that for almost every post that I make, Alex comes head on to find fault.
Alex, I hope you will put a stop to this. A little maturity on your part is much appreciated.

Pls don't make a fool outta yourself again. I really pity your intellect, I know your ego difficult to swallow, but if you want people to respect you, you gotta to respect people instead of calling people name instead of nick and using big red fonts, it really very rude of you, wonder have you got any decent education or you just going to. Pls reflect yourself in the mirror before accusing me, I will let the forumers and mods to judge. Just to let you know, I have given my word to bro Carmodz not to bother with your posts, but if you dare to trigger and provoke me again, I will not hesitate to exchange with you, just let more new members see how you disgrace yourself only. Better grow up and get a life young man, don't always hide behind the monitor to BS and mislead people of your adolescent act. Your postings credibility is null so quit your gibberish from now on would be much more appreciated then.
-
Alex,
I suggest that you refrain from posting groundless allegations of a defamatory nature.
I have also highlighted the abusive nature of your postings to the relevant moderators yesterday.

You are indeed very rude. As I have mentioned at least 3 times but you still turn to a deaf ear, still addressing my name instead of my nick, have you got any proper education yet ? What allegation are you referring to ? It does not make you to become a higher level by using some chim vocab which is not associated with the issue. You are simply an obtuse with low understanding ability, still want to challenge and quote me with the rest of the posts ? You really got nothing better to do ain't you ? Or everyday you woke up at the wrong side of the bed ?
Believe now is your break time, do value your studies and become a moral person when you grow up ya.
BTW, what abusive nature of my postings ? What a baloney remark from you. Again, if you continue to challenge me and sprouting nonsense, I will be more crude to you. Try me.

From what i see, you're the more hostile party. To me, it seems that Clarence is merely trying to stop your nonsense only. And what is wrong with calling you by your actual name? Your parent gave you your name and you feel ashame of it? I really do not understand. Please do not waste your time to flame me as i'm only giving my worthless cent and i suggest that you take one step back. I believe all of us got better things to do rather than showing the world what nonsense you guys are capable of in this public forum.
