Ahkit83 1st Gear February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 This thread is so informative. I've been following it since a few months back. Vezel is definitely a good choice and I am intending to get one myself. Current ride COE going kaput in May.. looks like Hup Long has the most orders and delivery now. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino-Lee 4th Gear February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 Sorry, bro, I took that picture off the website; it's not from my car! Thousand apologies, I never even notice that until you mentioned it! No problem bro. I thought there is a way to get all rings lighted up and that would be wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino-Lee 4th Gear February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 Hi guys & gals, just read this in Subaru forum about car battery. Not sure how true this is. Have anyone experience this?? Enhanced Flooded Batteries were developed for use in stop-start vehicles. The reduced cost of manufacturing EFBs is attractive for manufacturers in order to help keep overall new vehicle production costs down. The EFB design incorporates a porous fibre material, sometimes called "scrim", along with plates that are thicker than a conventional flooded battery. The use of low pressure contact material on the plates of EFBs retains the active material and improves their cycle performance which is necessary for stop-start applications. Examples of vehicles using an EFB include the Mazda CX-5, Subaru XV and the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic. Also note that conventional batteries should not be used in start-stop vehicles: The fitting of a conventional flooded battery to these vehicles will lead to premature failure, it is therefore critical to ensure the vehicle operates as per the manufacturers requirements, the correct chemistry battery application is installed. The batteries look exactly the same as a traditional flooded battery. Unfortunately there is no standard to identify if a battery is an EFB, some are only evident by their part number. Most manufacturers using these batteries have a blue/white label attached to the top of the battery indicating it can be used For Stop & Start. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic69 3rd Gear February 28, 2015 Share February 28, 2015 Bro... U must call them in advance for w30... Top up $50 yes, they told me to top up $50 which I am reluctant to pay. In the end, used what they recommended (15w40). According to the mechanics, the next will be 5w40 synthetic (10k servicing). Also, the WS does not have w30 synthetic, they only have mineral. As such, got to top up $120 more due to more frequent servicing (10k vs 5k). Asked them whether can I buy my oil and they just top up. They said yes but still have to top up $50.

They trying to cheat you to pay for Engine oil. Just use what is given. After 10k service (ie 15k or 20k) bring your own oil (0w20) to the work shop.

Any self-respecting workshop must have Fully Synthetic W30 oil on hand. If not, its really quite a sorry workshop with poor ethics towards customer service and accountability. They are using the same ruse to discourage you from putting W30 oil with a thousand and one unfounded reasons, and profiting from you in the process. I reiterate; JDM manual for the L15B / LEB engine in ALL Vezels require W30 oils at the very least. Unlike conventional (non-start stop) engines, where the engine oil is continuously flowing through the engine internals at a relatively constant oil pressure on idle (less than 2 Bar), to increasing oil pressure proportionate to throttle position (4-6 bar), oil pressure NEVER drops to ZERO in such cars, unless of course the engine is shut down. Now we move to our start-stop engine function. When the engine is shut down at the traffic light, unless I'm very much mistaken, the oil pump stops functioning as well and there will be negligible oil pressure left in the system. This causes heat to soak up in several "hot spots" within the block. The L15B engine, being non-turbo charged, "hot spots" within should not reach temperatures so high that it can damage anything. You will want a good quality fully-synthetic oil to ensure the oil do not break down prematurely over time. At this point, the oil around these "hot spots" are, hotter. The main issue is when the Vezel start the car when you lift off the brakes. The engine kicks back to life, and what happens next is crucial to why I keep preaching thin engine oils. Usually after we start engine, we accelerate, and this causes the greatest engine stress. Why? Remember the hotter oil around the "hot spots"? We WANT these hot oil to conduct the heat and flow as fast away to other regions, and cooler oil to quench the region, in preparation for the immediate acceleration segment. Do you think, compared with thicker, and thus more viscous (slower flow) engine oil, which will be more harmful to the engine in the long run? Start-stop equipped Engines REQUIRE good quality thin engine oil. Honda will not anyhow put W30 in their manual for fun. The hybrids LEBs require even thinner W20 oils, right in the manual. The age-old lore about our climate requiring W40 oil is kind of bulls**t. You guys bought the Vezel over the HR-V. This means you all are technically more savvy, more informed than the masses, and at the end of the day, fortune favours the bold. Peace, Vezelers. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, I cannot praise u enough (I need to praise 8 more people before I can send you praise). Since my WS also do not carry w30 EO, I purchase directly fm Liqui Moly 0w30 synthetic oil for $100+. My WS charge me extra labor cost & changing of filter for $60+. Total I spend $170+ inclusive of GST for my 5K servicing. Engine become quieter, smoother and more responsive. My WS also told me the same bulls**t about Singapore climate & traffic condition that we should use w40. Frankly I really do not understand what is so difficult to get w30 EO for us. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
