Title: Bad FC for past 1Mth+
Post by: latiowner on July 02, 2012, 02:30:05 PM: Juz check, my Latio CVT sedan are in the 5th year liao. Recently, my FC had been quite poor which run less than 400Km for past 1 mth+, used to be 400-420Km. Any particular reasons or advice? Didnt mob any parts of the car and has been regular service every half year.

Post by: bakoh79 on July 02, 2012, 05:34:02 PM: I noticed my FC is better whenever i travelled long distance on expressway, compared to normal roads..

Maybe u changed ur routing too??

Post by: latiowner on July 02, 2012, 10:32:16 PM: Air filter changed when doing half yearly servicing......travel route wont be the same as used it to reach my customer place on and off. I will say about 40% expressway, 60% city. But for past 5 year, my FC havent been that bad..... :confused1:

i thought after a certain milage, we should be using w40 oil?

i think i have been using w40 oil for some time even before my 100k service, and my fc still sama sama from day 1.

Post by: kspchew on July 06, 2012, 04:28:35 PM: Check if your fuel gauge is working properly.
Mine die last month and have the float replace.

Post by: Jazz on July 07, 2012, 01:16:05 PM: Fuel gauge nothing related to FC. You only need to use distance travelled divided litres of petrol pumped.

Post by: Ying on July 11, 2012, 09:11:22 AM: use 0W40 for the past 4 years, tried TCM Shogun, Carlube, Agrip, AMSoil, astro boy, valvoline and other brand that I cant recall.

Best experience : valvoline (with engin flush, autosaver) then astro boy.

If I mainly drive in city with W40 oil then full tank can reach ~300+km

Highway within speed limit can reach 500+km per tank.

Post by: kt on July 11, 2012, 03:41:58 PM: I'm currently using Redline 5W30. Car's pickup and engine response much much better than the EO TCM used. FC also improved slightly. My mileage is now about 150k.

Post by: latiowner on July 13, 2012, 02:04:23 PM: Had gone for 90K service on Wed. Autosaver juz do routine 90K service,engine flush, change aircon filter and ask me to monitor as he didnt found any major problem on my car. Using 0W40, should be Mobil synthetic oil. Will monitor 1-2 month for the FC.

Post by: quirky on July 21, 2012, 09:20:26 PM: My FC went down from 13.x (Sometimes 14.x) to around 11.5 after I changed my Toyo stocks! :(
