How often do u use them ?
For me, I use 1 btl of Caltex Techron Concentrate every 5000km.  

1 set of these every 10k, spilt into 5k mileage

Same, last time when sent  my car to Kah Motor for servicing, they will try to upsell all sort of things.  But that is their job.

Same here. They told me my tyres wearing out and they still have last set left and got discount. I told the SA I changing car soon and then he suddenly sparkle and ask me what car I intend to change and maybe he can help me check. Knn@Ct3833

Just want to say I have moved from the 2014 Corolla Altis.   However, I will still be hanging around in here. 🤣

Just curious, any driver of high in total mileage or age,  experience decrease in average FC and when opening the fuel cap, will hear the pressure release?

There is no recond option for CVT if it malfunctions

IMHO.
This CVT is offspring of the Prius taxi in US.  Should be reliable.  My mileage was about 240k km. 
Also, I sort of recall that I came across on the internet of parts for this CVT.

Great. FC above 22 km/L.  Stock tyres a bit comfort based. 
TSS 3.0 features really assist the driver. 🤣

-  170k engine mounts / AC coil

Hi Experts out there,

don't know what i do, now locking the car with smart key got no sound and light. But locking it have sound and light.

Anyone know to reset it back? I see though the Owner's Manual didnt mentioned how to undo it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All, 

I am looking into option of renew COE for my Altis next year, since mileage is not high (120k km now) and new cars are expensive for me being semi-retired. Indeed I expect usage of car will reduce but still want the the comfort of own car instead of taxi/grab.

Anyone can share experience with buying comprehensive insurance for cars > 10 yo and rough cost (e.g is it like 1.5x of comprehensive insurance before COE renewal)? Will the insurance company simply scrap the car when a claim is made?

I expect all wear and tear parts including hose n wiring will require replacement at some point.

Any big ticket item are known to require replacement/repair for this model at around 150k km?

Cheers and Merry Xmas!

Different ride but coe car, $ not much difference on comprehensive insurance (must do homework), nvr claim b4 so not sure on claims & scrap, road tax every yr add 10%, went mechanic (jb) to replace items that NEEDS replacing upon coe renewal, e rest wait until down then replace.
