Mazda3 SP

[Redboy]

Then I think thick oil is cheaper, so being used for free svc.

Btw,where did u svc ur zoom-zoom? Mine at autoserv, so was wondering if engine oil for 5K svc same at all service centres? Any advantage of thick oil, other than cheap?

brudder, u mean ur FC drops after svc ?

[Ronnchee]

My FC is around 8.9km/l, before 5k servicing. Reckon FC will improve after 1st servicing, with new iridium denso spark, synthentic engine oil, etc

How's ur First tank? Your Full tank only travel till 400+ only?

[Cheekg98]

wow .... u really heavy footer

[Tortoise777]

I am probably the saddest 3SP owner, my FC is only 8.6km/L[sweatdrop]... Sent in for 1st service at 2400 last Sat (couldn't wait till 5K). Hopefully, it will get better.

Bro wad happened to ur thread abt the malay uncle?

[Redboy]

erm. Not sure if it's due to more jams or city driving.

My FC quite erratic.

Immediately after svc, FC remains 11+ to 12+

For next few tanks, sometimes 10+, at most 11

Also, engine seems unwilling to shift gears.

Hope my next tank is better.

[Cheekg98]

which petrol brand u are using ?

[Redboy]

shell 95.

[Cheekg98]

i used shell 95 only once. stopped it after FC is all time low

 

havent try esso/mobil yet ...

[Seabass_sg]

I just collected my ride last fri pumped Caltex Silver.. (95) today ard 1/2 tank so went to pump (in case price goes up) to enjoy discounts.. pumped 26 litres to full tank... mileage was 295km... so FC was ard 11.3km / litre... not sure whether is reasonable... of coz cannot compare to cars like city or vios... but for mz3... ?

[Cheekg98]

v good esp. u havent run in yet ... see ah ong FC, u will be with joy

[Redboy]

Is it? I thought shell95 gives best FC for our ride?

How about you? What brand do you think gives best FC?

[Cheekg98]

so far Caltex seems to suit my ride

[Redboy]

Caltex better FC due to so-called techron which cleans engine?

Anyway, heard you got 14 before, rite? In local conditions?

What's your secret?

[Redboy]

Erm. It's ur 1st tank, I presume? Considered quite good already. My first tank can only get about 9.5 Subseqently, average out to 11+

What FC did ur SE promise you? My SE said can get 12 which I only hit when I go highways often during off-peak.

[Cheekg98]

yupz, 14 ... but only once. maybe tat time most of the time travel along expressway during offpeak hrs, and light footed cos' just abt to run in engine
