Anyone coated your Eclipse Cross with the Zertona coating by C&C? Is it any good? Or after that go outside do coating again?

I did it for mine, but I can't tell whether it's good or not. What should I look out for?

Is it correct for the car to receive 5W40 engine oil? I went for my 1K servicing, and they replaced the oil with that. I thought the Eclipse Cross takes 0W20 oil?

Did Zetona (FOC part of deal) on my EC too. Think effect so so. Did Amazing Glaze on my previous ride, the shine was much better. Not sure if wanna do again or do others next.

 

Did not notice wat engine oil they used for my 1st 1K. Guess they shd b using the right one ba..

so hows the FC after receive 5w40 ? is it same or worse ?

I think it's around the same as before (10-11 km/litre). The instantaneous FC reading did go up subsequently, but that's also the period where I started setting the air-con to auto mode. I'll be able to calculate the FC for this tank after I top off the tank tomorrow, but the instantaneous reading is around 13 km/litre for 70% highway driving, and for pure start-stop trips, 8 km/litre.

Anyone has any SE contact for mitsubishi? Wanna ask how much can my current cad be traded in

You are better off getting better offers from sgcarmart . Cnc is famous for low balling trade in prices.

[Enjoy]

Really interested in this car.

 

100k for elegance

112k for sports

115k with sunroof

 

Anyone bought recently and squeeze more things?

Ok, I've tallied my fuel receipt with the mileage done, and it's around the same as before. The instantaneous reading seems to be inaccurate as compared to the info I calculated after top-up.

Are these prices after promotion if you trade in your car and take their car loan?

There are differing practices and views on what you should do with a brand new car after collection.

 

So do you guys (who have collected your ECs):

sayang your EC and drive slowly up till xxxKM;

drive hard to break-in the engine; or

just drive normally lor, cos these days new car engines not like engines from 10 years ago.

Read from a source that you need to vary the engine RPM, so I varied the engine RPM up till 3K, but I don't floor the accelerator. I usually increase the pedal pressure steadily, then once it hits around 2K, I will ease off, but I don't keep the RPM constant too.

 

From the manual:

Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in period of low-speed driving.However, you can add to the future performance and economy of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during

the first 300 miles (500 km).

 

Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.

 

• Avoid revving the engine.
• Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect on the engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; this could ultimately result in the malfunction of engine components. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift position (low gears).
• Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.
• Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle. Refer to “Trailer towing” on page 6-11

Loan yes but no need to trade in.

Went to the showroom at Alexandra on Sunday. Was quoted only deregistration value for trading in my 2016 Attrage. Not only in C&C, also went to Komoco Motors next door and was also told the same. Apparently any car bought during the high COE period from 2013-2017 can only receive paper value for trade-in as it is cheaper to buy a new car now anyway compared to the second-hand market. So the dealer has to deregister and export the trade-in car. But if your car older than that then maybe got chance of getting higher quote.

Thats a very good discount you are given. My SE didnt even give me any discount from the list price except for a $1k servicing credit

in sg road I would say it pick up speed quite fast and rarely pass 2500rpm you may already at cruising speed 90kmh without noticing it.

at cruising 90kmh the rpm stay very low.

occasionally overtaking is breeze too.

 

if you worry can use econ mode:

from stand still it ram rpm till 2000rpm thereafter it just try keep below 1800rpm.

but this really feel slow and no power as the peak torque is only kick in at 1800rpm.

so suggest to throttle by your right foot better.
