Myths: You should break in your engine with conventional oil, then switch to a synthetic oil like Mobil 1�.

�

Reality: You can start using Mobil 1 in new vehicles at any time. In the past, engine break-in was necessary to remove any metal flashing (called swarf) or abrasive material left inside the engine after machining as well as to allow the valves and rings to "seat" properly. Today's engines are built with tighter tolerances, improved machining and under cleaner conditions compared to the engines of 10 or 20 years ago. Current engine manufacturing technology does not require a break-in period using petroleum-based motor oils. In fact, Mobil 1 is installed in the factories of:

Well, that is real life testimony. [thumbsup]

�

yes, certain old precautions does not apply to current technology...eg like the after 1K servicing, 5K servicing is not necessary as can go synthethic from there.

any bro/sis bought/booked from PI Volks auto?

�

Huh?�

My next servicing will be 10k. Thanks

�

thanks for sharing, bro. now, at least will know they have W30 EO for the 10k servicing.

Well, that is real life testimony.

�

Your information is always solid bro!!

�

Thanks alot!

�

We still have workshops INSISTING to use w40 on our cars, telling clients that clients do not understand, even when we can take manufacture specs out to show them.

�

Reasons are always that Singapore is warm humid climate, different.

Does vezel have ISOFIX points?

As what Rationalexuberance mentioned, there's still workshops VERY INSIST that you have to use w40 on Honda Vezel and not w20-w30 due to singapore weather.

�

Even though you have already mentioned that it's stated in Honda manual, they say cannot trust the manual, we workshop is more experience.

What BS, our car is like our baby, anything that happens to it, we fork out the money and not them. They are just interested in collecting cash and think every customer is STUPID when you tell them what you want.

If i am driving a cab or have to be on the road 24/7, maybe I will consider w40. Otherwise its always w30 for me!!! They probably by w40 in bulk and have higher margins. Shell has this interesting website which you can choose which car you are driving and in which country plus which make the car is, and they showed you the types of grade you should go for and how long you need to change. If you try honda JDM cars, most are either one of the 3...5w30, 10w30 and 5w40 and mostly for 10k.

Too bad I'm not into SUVs. No wonder this car is so popular.�

Yes, 2 sets.

Sorry but I realy don't understand what is isoFix?

Is it a kind of safety feature?

anyone got lobang to order Vezel diecast?

�

Yes, 2 sets.
isoFix.JPG

Seems like it is 1 set on each side....does the middle seat have 3-point seat belts? Asking because in my current car, i fixed up 2 child seats side by side on the left and middle seats.

can..i cut and paste some of the research for referencing and comparisons. also feedback from friends. PM sending now

purely for sharing bro..

�

hi bro can pm as well? thank u in advance!

�

anyway i saw a purple or is it maroon one and only vezel at boon lay fields... everyday staring and peeping at it.. if the owner happen to be a bro here. can i see your car?! heee� [nod]

Reading through the thread, very easy to deduce there are so many inexperience car owner who really do not know much about car maintenance. I really salute your courage in going the PI route with that level of know-how on cars.

�

No offence intended, really. Though I would definitely advise people to chalk up on more experience before taking the plunge, at least know abit about car maintenance lah..

Well, that is real life testimony.

�

yes, certain old precautions does not apply to current technology...eg like the after 1K servicing, 5K servicing is not necessary as can go synthethic from there.

�

you dont even need 1k� servicing. just change at 5k or 10k.

Went down to make my booking just now. Finally taking the leap after looking through the forum and making a trip down to see the dealer. Decided to go for the "express" queue by paying a slight premium and not negotiating for tons of accessories. If all things goes well, can get my ride next week (committed date is 1 month on service agreement though). Fingers crossed!!

�

like your style, fast and furious [:)]

Even though you have already mentioned that it's stated in Honda manual, they say cannot trust the manual, we workshop is more experience.

�

hahahaha. typical bulls**t coming from Spore workshops......

Sorry but I realy don't understand what is isoFix?

Much more convenient compared to the conventional seat-belted-type.

Yes, middle seat is with 3-point seat belt.

Frankly, this isofix stuff still confused the hell out of me. I will probably still strap the child seat using the conventional seat belt method.

Wow thanks for the gd explanation.

�

This will be most useful for my baby seat arrangement at the end of the year,

�

Seems like we are getting quite a lot of new car features for the Honda Vezel.

�

Now need to wait for today's COE results hehehe...

Agreed bro...which is why I will never buy a car if the premium over the cost price is too high. Mazda 3 similar like altis was rather high then. A year ago when coe was at 62k as well saw mazda 3 at 106k only. Imagine it went up to 120plus k in a years time, and within 2 months now drop to below 106k. I felt the heartache for those who cheong to buy mazda 3 and alti despite such a huge price increase. No offence but i would feel the heartache. Their next round pf heartache will be when they trade in their rides. Though it is pegged to market rate but dealers will definitely use the lowest to quote.

�

Hi bro, i also feel sad for those who buy QQ2.0 comparing to QQ1.2T. I nearly buy QQ2.0 until I saw Vezel last year. I understand the QQ1.2T has better interior and more updated software compare to QQ2.0, not to mentioned better FC and lower cost.

�

I was like you, also have until next March to wait before current ride reaches 10 years, but PI psycho abit with a better trade in nia, just went ahead and carried on. Haha, maybe if someone lend you one unit to test-drive, or invite you to go for a spin, you will end up signing on the dotted line already..

�

lol lol ... i have 2 years left on my ride and i gave myself 1001 reasons buy vezel and here i am in this forum! [:)]

�
like your style, fast and furious

I hope the agent will put in the bid for me today. Let you guys know after 4pm of the results. If successful, time of booking to collection should be 9 days.

Yes, I did at World Auto. I called them to check on their W30 stock and was told stock just came in. If not, I will buy my own W30 EO and bring along. I have change to synthetic OWS 5W30. The ride is pretty smooth and engine noise has reduced after servicing.

�

This is good news. I also did my 5K servicing at World Auto before CNY. At that time, they do not have W30, so I brought my own. Had a long chat with Adrian (WS manager) and convince him to bring in W30 for the Vezel folks. If there is demand, he say will take in W30 stock.

Getting my white x model tomorrow! [bounce2] � � �

Similarly, I was hoping for a turbo version of vezel. But knowing the tech difficulties in marrying vtec and turbo together, which seem to happen soon, i reckon we probably got to wait a couple of years before that may happen...so bobian...buy first...lol

Getting my white x model tomorrow! � � �

Grats! Same here! Actually can collect today if i dont end work too late lol.

What model is your car? X? What color? Cool

Reading through the thread, very easy to deduce there are so many inexperience car owner who really do not know much about car maintenance. I really salute your courage in going the PI route with that level of know-how on cars.

�

No offence intended, really. Though I would definitely advise people to chalk up on more experience before taking the plunge, at least know abit about car maintenance lah..

�

Hahaha. I think I know what you mean, but this one no problem la, just buy and drive first lor, a bit of "carrot chop" here and there, sometimes inevitable in life one la.� [thumbsup]

�

Got a friend, a young lady, who bought her first car not long after getting her license at 26 and drive out to cheong every weekend and most evenings. Until one day her car just "died" on the road and guess what; she didn't know there are such things as "servicing" or "maintenance", all she did was pump petrol whenever it's low and kept going.�

�

After that she stopped driving and got herself a boyfriend to drive her around instead. This was years ago, and as far as I know, till today she's still a little happy camper.�

Does vezel have ISOFIX points?

X model have

What model is your car? X? What color? Cool

Mine is the very popular white x model haha

This time round COE is scary. amount of bids submitted is double the quota.

This time round COE is scary. amount of bids submitted is double the quota.

The target will shift to cat B and E soon.

Bro, for them how much do they charge for doing Honda Vezel? 500? or?

PM-ed..

Soli bro for late reply cos been bz.. � [:p]

�

This is good news. I also did my 5K servicing at World Auto before CNY. At that time, they do not have W30, so I brought my own. Had a long chat with Adrian (WS manager) and convince him to bring in W30 for the Vezel folks. If there is demand, he say will take in W30 stock.

�

that's great news! but my next servicing is 10km, not 5km. should i go in for the 5km and change to W30?

�

Bro, can read below the information Niltrams posted about engine oil.

�

�

�

Yep I saw this post by Niltrams, which explain by him in regards to Engine Oil. very informative information.

�

I think w30 is still better maybe in my opinions haha after reading so much posts.

Basically, WS in SIN conveniently using W40 (1-size-fit-all concept).. Seen in MCF Bros said Manual wrote W20.. I was told that usually ppl use W20 on race cars..

My take is W30 cos definitely less viscos (compare to W40) so can "squeeze" thru the new-tight gap between Piston & Bore at the present new ride to cater for the frequent engine start-stop feature.

W20 is definitely much more expensive compare to W30/W40/W50 and is slightly not so easily available outside.

I got my W30 Giant-IMM.. with promotional discount.. �Cheap & Convenient.. �

�

My consideration factor is more about lubricating at the gap (clearance) between the Piston & the Bore (P&B).

When car is NEW, the machining or the parts are so good fitting that the clearance of the moving parts (P&B) are very good thus if the EO is too viscos (thick), it will have to wait for the temperature to rise to "liquify" the EO further before it can easily flow thru the gap readily. Thou won't take too long to happen, but enuf to create wear at the P&B, especially for our engine start/stop function.

However, when the car gets more MATURE, the gap would be bigger. By then, if still using low viscos (thin) EO, it would have "leak" thru the gaps so fast that it does not provide sufficient "cushion" & lubrication. That's when we change to W40/W50 EO to continue to provide the necessary lubrication to our ride.

�

�

that's great news! but my next servicing is 10km, not 5km. should i go in for the 5km and change to W30?

�

I intend to service at 5k and change oil, cos my ride is a low-milage so change at 6 months interval. Estimated milage is less than 5k...

bros/sis,�

�

may i know how to check if i got the coe bidding? is it under temp COE? I see nothing. does it mean my PI never place the bid or i never kenna or the result not immediately?

�

TIA!

�

If I remember correctly, I was told that EO for new cars are mineral-type, to save costs as importantly, to burnish and smoothen "rough" surfaces of newly assembled engine block....and due to the composition and molecular structures of mineral oils and their effective lifespan it is probably why we are told to change oil for 1st 1000km.�

I was told that the Jpn Engr in the WS "chit-chat" that nowadays Synthetic EO are used on New cars already, same like Jpn local. The so call "rough" surface are the past history & technology now has overcomed. Due to that reason, those Jpn imported cars can actually do the 1st svc between 3k ~ 5k & if continue using Synthetic EO, the next Svc shall be 10k later. Being on the conservation side, I did my 1st svc 2.5k.. � [:p]

Normally you will only see if you have gotten the COE the next day when LTA update into the system. Most of the time will be after 2pm.

�

�

Bro kenlee81, its not so surface simple.. Unless you have enuf $$$ then anything is fine. I had same tot too previously. But reality sets in when realised that X model need 40% dp while S model need 50% dp, all other calculators start beeping like crazy.. � [dizzy]

Yo bro, my is instant reflection as per some of the brother shared.

Just key-in IC and check the bidding result.

Also see if your agent�bid for you all just trying to buy time and do plain salesman�talk while bidding for you next round (maybe).

�

Visit https://ocoe.lta.gov.sg and enter ur NRIC to check

I tried and when I enter the character verification several times. it states no matching found. Does it mean i dont secure the coe?

�

How can i sure the PI did bid for me?

Called the PI and he said busy and call me back later..sounds like i no luck in this round bidding?

no matching found as in "...please check your bidding ID..." or something along that line?

In that case, I am afraid that you did not secure the COE....

If I rem correctly, if your PI had put in a bid, it will be reflected on the website as as a reserved price....

As expected the COE shot up by $4K for Cat A. As predicted by my PI that after CNY everyone will Cheong. Lucky got mine at the last bidding exercise.

Hope some bro will have a no top-up clause is the SA.

�As long as your PI work, then you are fine. It will depends on how fast LTA work�also... During my time when I buy my Vezel, it is only updated next day cause I was checking after 4pm on COE day till�the next day noon time�just to make sure I gotten the COE.

Maybe it is just my case then. Mine was the 1st bidding in Feb 2015. Collected car before CNY.

With COE up ~$4K, how many brudders/sisters got their COE? Be good to share if you signed for a guaranteed or non-guaranteed deal too.

�

With a lot more on the wait list I think it wi go up by another $3+k at next bid. Important to get a no top-up COE.

nice!!shud be maroon..i wanna see a purple one if there is man..have yet to see any on e rds..and i believe purple is reserved for hybrid only

Yes. I can see the reserve price and even revised reserved price when my PI bid for me last round.Info are online and clear. If no record found, means no bidding submitted.

if bidding not successful,will e 10k be transferred back under our names?

I wonder if any bro/sis here already got their Honda Vezel and installed window visor for their ride?

�

Does it help in any way and does the car look better with it too?

Thanks in advance!

bro,can PM me ur workshop warranty and ur experience with them?u brought ur own oil.and filter?

Reading through the thread, very easy to deduce there are so many inexperience car owner who really do not know much about car maintenance. I really salute your courage in going the PI route with that level of know-how on cars.
�
No offence intended, really. Though I would definitely advise people to chalk up on more experience before taking the plunge, at least know abit about car maintenance lah..

i think that's why they come here to learn from other friendly bros' with experience. That's a very good big step and half the battle is won. PI or AD workshops,seriously speaking the only difference are the contractual agreements and terms & conditions. They handle ur car as and when they deem fit and however they feel suitable. Seen b4,experienced b4,paid thru e nose to AD b4,seen other bros kena smoked b4.

kudos for continuous learning! grateful for MCF,as i have learnt so much and made gd frens here too! And there's always much more to learn. My aim now is to try my best to whatever ability i can within this community to level the playing field through free information sharing. This Honda Vezel thread is very healthy,very different. Much more informative

think i'll do that too. mine also low mileage (only 4700+) since I got it in Oct.

in fact, all who bought from HL should consider using W30 since it's recommended by manual and 'proven' by bros/sis here.

when i go in next, i'll share with Adrian at World Auto; he's quite approachable.

Happy that my PI secured my COE today, but unhappy that I didn't get rebate since my rebate was pegged at 60k. But then again, my SE has said he will push delivery by end March so that's the most important thing to look forward to! [thumbsup]

�

My SE did tell me that they totally didn't foresee the wave of buyers entering the market last weekend, which explained the more than double number of bidders to COEs this time round. Out of the 30 orders with my PI, they only managed to secure 5 COEs. Looks like the backlog of COEs not secured this round will mean that prices next round are unlikely to come down..

can PM me too?

Done � [:)]

Just did my 5k svci. Brought along own EO liquidmoly 5w30 after reading comments by bro/sis. Can already feel that car drives much smoother..:)

I'm also interested in the visor. My SE told me some of his customer bought from Taobao, but the dimension doesn't match the car. Wonder if its true.

To me, the Visors are more for venting, less the rain or "thief-bait". I feel more secure to leave a slight gap on the window (for heat relief when parked under the Hot Sun) with my Visors installed cos its not too obvious of the opening where the "ill-intentioner" felt tempted to access..

Another scenario which I always asked my children.. What happen if its raining heavily outside the car & someone farted inside the car??� [sly] � [dizzy]

Above is another POV from IMO..

However, some Bro here ever mentioned that it causes some "wind sound", which I don't really notice it for my case.. � [:)]

My warrenty is 5-yrs. Experience was good� [thumbsup] �very good housekeeping & discipline crew, with all actions done infront of a huge glass wall where you can see.

I brought my own EO (I did discuss with them & gotten their consent b4 hand) which they do not denial. Oil filter used their, which they actually "open ceremony" infront of my eyes with genuine part.

Charges only Labour & OF.

(My deal don't have SVC FOC)..

so guess with this COE exercise, price goin upwards? sadz.... I haven't confirm my order yet...

No coe for me...... so sad.

I tried that.. with all approval from CITI.. But finally give up the idea & decided to go with my PI's loan. Partly cos he has provided me with sincerety & good service & was the one who intro this CITI lobang to me & did given me quite a good list of freebies.. So my tot was just to let him have some profit for what he has done for me..

Frankly, where to find such PI, to me la.. Perhaps he might have made significant profit from me during the deal, which I don't think so, there is no reason to "vomit" out to me now either. So its just friendship & goodwill.

Ya, by the way, they took a few Insurance quotes for my comparison & I also got my own Insurance & finally settle on mine, which they agreed.

Their service is pretty good. I called them in advance to check on their W30 Stock and the receptionist promised to return my call after checking with the manager. She returned the call soon and updated me when is the stock coming in. Pretty sure they will store W30 for all Vezel owners in future
