Honda Owners..... Pls Check In..

[Confusedboi]

Back to sg this afternoon after spending one night at geylang petah after coming down from KL yesterday afternoon, no more spirited driving back to slow and chillax driving. Saw this licence plate on a Veilfire, very nice at tuas 2nd link.

hi . Just wonder what is your service interval for those driving Turbocharged cars ? Mine is 2 yo Honda Jade. My oil life is less than 6000km (and less than 6mth) Is this normal ? I don’t activate the turbo regularly...  Thanks

check your owner's manual. the manual should have information on the service interval.

It depends on how you drive, where you drive (city, express-way) etc. There isn't a right answer. I know typically the oil lifespan for SG cars is lower than the the service manual due to the weather. As a point of reference, I typically need to do servicing every 6k-7k km in my 1.5T CRV. I would just trust the computer in the car. It is best at determining your service period. 

By the way, how do you "not activate" the turbo regularly? It's an always on device. It's just how much exhaust pressure you're putting through the turbo. If you have a boost pressure gauge, or waste gate gauge, you'll see the turbo pressure will always change during accelerate, indicating "activating" of the turbo. 

As far as I know there isn't a mainstream car out there that has a turbo button like your old 486 computer.

When someone asks a question like that... it probably means the owner doesn't want to follow the guidelines and wants to save a little $$... 😉

Today in the afternoon i went to guan lee tyres at Kaki bukit near Ubi to get my tyres checked based on experience going up and down  NSHW  at the end of december . Felt some juddering when braking hard at high speed felt like front tyres were gripping more than the rear tyres. 

True enough the rear 2 yokohoma bluearth tryes thread wear indicator left 30% only and was advised to change, there was a small nail stuck in one of the rear tyres as well luckily didnt puncture the tyre.

The front 2 pirelli cinturato p7 thread wear left about 40% and i decided to change all 4 old used tyres which came with the car when i bought it to 4 new cinturato p7 at 110 SGD per tyre size ( 205/55/16)  Total damage 440 SGD for a piece of mind plus new " shoes" for chinese new year.

Big shout out to the boss ( one man operations) at the shop for his services. Highly recommended if you are looking for new tyres though his ready stock is mainly pirelli, toyo plus yokohama tyres.

Lucky all was ok on your NSHW run.. should have gotten your tyres checked before that long distance drive!  but anyway, enjoy your ride!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I always thought it’s a standard 10k or 6mths as the sale executive advised. But it is clear that tc engine has shorter oil life than NA engine car if based on the car’s meter... I’m mostly in city driving and under hot sun, which I suppose reduce the engine oil life.

p/s. Sorry for my mis leading statement , I don’t deactivate the turbo, just being light footed .
