Hmmm..Guess mineral just good enough for the 1st 5-10k..After which fully-syn can kick in!

Think Honda got it's own fully-syn also, but kinda x.

Heard amsoil is quite good, havn't try before though...

Hi guys,

 

I had my ride installed with cool&lite including the MR. 95% heat rejection for MR and 80% on all the other glass including the JDM tinted sections. All using clear films. It's the highest heat rejection with a pass in LTA even for the tinted glass. Had considered 3M and VKool but 3M is ceramic base compared to C&L which is metallic base (correct me if I am wrong) and VKool does not have film that will pass LTA for the JDM tinted glass plus MR they uses two sheets of film overlapping to cover the whole roof instead of one piece. So far, it's really good as compare to my previous ride which I had film from this Andy and Bill (close shop liao) which is of low quality. A gauge of how good the film is working is by how I use the aircon. The cool knob is set at almost the same for day and night time. On extremely hot sunny days, maybe jus a notch up for the coolness control to level at 9 o'clock. Most of the time it is lesser then that.

 

For engine oil, although my appointed workshop reccomended syn, I still tell them to use mineral. I believe mineral oil plays a part in the engine running in and will continue to use mineral oil until 10k servicing before switching to full syn which I will probably use Mobil 1 5W40 or 5W50.

I think 5W50 maybe a bit too thick...

Some say 35 or 40 is good enough...

 

Going for my 1K servicing this week...

 

How much does it cost for the cool&lite ?

thanks.

Hey Bros,

 

Im thinking of changing to leathers for my ride..as the current cloth material seems to trap dust fairly easily. anyone can recommend a good brand that i can go for? and roughly how much it will cost?

Hi Zac,

 

For the cool and lite, the package that I did was for $900 after a discount of 10%. For my case, I got it at a better prize from my car dealer as I purchased the car from them.

Hi Airwave001,

 

Nope, there is no need to cut a hole for the IU. It works fine so far whenever I pass the ERP gantry. To my knowledge, VKool is also metallic base and they dun cut a hole for the IU too. Had wanted VKool too if not for their film failing for the JDM tinted sections. I am not that techinical a person but from what I had gathered so far, ceramic base films sort of absorbs the heat and dissipates it. For metallic base film, it works by deflecting the heat. One more thing I notice for C&L is that the film is cut just nice along the edges so you dun see a gap. Not too bad on the workmanship. My previous ride has a 5mm gap from the rubber seal and edge of the whole window.

I can give you the contact for the person in C&L that handled my sales if you are interested. [;)]

Vcool told me they need to cut because they worried it might affect ERP later. With this, i decided not to go for vcool. ok lar, for $900, u deserves the best product liao
