waleed bhai wisedecision
pls ref following picture of mobile1 supersyn fully synthetic oil 5w/50
https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/members-member-rides/187900-dil-tu-bacha-hai-gee-10
i am using this in my rolla and drive become very smooth, accelration alsoimrpove
well my plan is to drain after 8000 km

inshallha next week will also chnage my city oil to this mobil 1<o:p></o:p>

well actually i have had a very good experience wth the fully synthetic oil in my platz when i used to have ZIC XQ in that an i used to keep drain interval at 12k with stock oil filter. to be honest there wasnt much improvement in the mileage or performance of the car but i used to get stable idle.

and waleed bhai suggesst you to pls check its avilability from csd ( armey canteen discount store ) in pindi as i souced mine from csd lahore and there is price differnce of rs1000 from open market for 4 liter pack

i cant trust CSD guys. they are big frauds. i would prefer MOBIL authorized dealer over them anytime

hahaha... Im glad you finally got my point This is Pakistan, the concept of warranty is just a joke over here...

well, talking about the oil you ve selected, no doubt its a very nice n well reputed oil. theres just one small thing. recently, i was talking to @vague_one (Usman bhay, DC walay). he said he was using mobil1 for quite a while but now due to uncertain reasons, he felt the pinch to get back to simple, mineral oil. so get got honda oil this time. hes reporting better mileage and he also said that the car revvs more freely. i'd say before u go for it, talk to usman bhai first...

another member @fahad_reloaded also used synthetic oil and was highly dissatisfied with it... so, please talk to a LOT of ppl with first hand experience about this.

recommended oil rating for new/relatively newer Honda City cars is 10w30.

now thats something new to me. i wud surely call usman tomorrow and wud discuss it with him in detail. thanks for the insight though

PS : despite my utter tries, my car is not giving me more than 14 km per liter within city with 100 percent AC on. i m tryin extreme hypermiling even. wat can be the reason ? maybe the short distances between the traffic signals because in Islamabad the distances ar more. whenever i visit islamabad though, my average increase by around 1-1.2 km per liter. is that the reason ppl living inside islamabad are getting figures around 17 per liter or something ? please comment

Dubai Autos Rwp have Modulo complete body kit of Honda City. The rates they quotes me are 18.5k for Chinese and 23.5k for Taiwan based.. Theyre un-painted. If you just like to buy the grill. They have that as well

bro basically you have got it all covered just one advice. stick to 15 inch alloys, 16s are a lil too big and would result in pretty stiff ride, which in the case of city is already stiff, and also adversely affect your fuel economy (remember the accord in 1986 model used to come with 185/70/13 as stock). stick to 15s and use soft tyres like yokohama or dunlop. about the seat covers, summers are dominant in our country, so sincere advice would be to stick to fabric. nowadays there is this net kind of material available in the market which stays pretty ok even if the car is parked in the sun.

-Thanks. I understand it's 16s are a bit big and will effect fuel economy. But I like the look.
-As far as tires, I prefer Yokos. Everyone has given them good reviews. I m pretty sure I can find that size too.
-I will go with painting the mud flaps. They look better that way.

Thanks Waleed Bhai.

Congrats for the City and the new born baby.
Nice upgrade plan. I'd like you to consider a few more items to the list. I also bought City 2012 White with Navigation and so far I've just ordered the tyres.

1-I'm sure sooner or later you will be looking for a number plate. There is a guy in Islamabad who makes amazing number plates and he ships them to Lahore / Karachi regularly. To see his work, see the photo albums on his page Sticker lovers | Facebook

2-Seems like you are more into cosmetics. Fog lights give a very decent look. In islamabad fog lights of honda city are available in 3000-10,000 price range.

3-If you like to improve lighting while traveling in the dark. Philips X-treme Vision H4 is really what you need. They promise to give 100% more light without freaking out the driver coming from opposite direction.

4-There is a variety of mugen / modulo based body kits available. If u've ordered side skirts then changing the front grill could also be part of the menu.

I myself am currently stuck at installing the security system. Doing that voids the warranty and that's why I'm thinking to do it after a couple of thousand miles (so that i could claim warranty if a manufacturing fault appears during initial running)

Sir! Thanks! I appreciate it!
I will look into number plates. Thanks for the suggestion.

You read my mind. I was looking into a projector kit as well as fog lights. I did see a charcoal grey city with fog lights that had a silver trim around the light.
Do you know any places and prices for fog lights?

but then dubai autos are super expensive. the modulo grill (chromed) which they are selling for 7500 is being sold for 6000 on montogemery road lahore, and if u bargain u can get it more or less around 5000. furthermore , i dont think Dubai auto has this grill which i like. they have the chromed modulo grill which i think gives a cheap look (my personal opinion) . the matt finish in mugen grill is what i m looking for

Yes sir, do talk to usman bhai.as for mileage, well, how many kms on the odo? if its anything less then 10k kms, dont worry, it should improve. did u check the tire pressure in the tires? if u are doing extreme hypermiling, u shud get atleast 16-17 locally, as a friend of mine gets that same in isb doing HM, though his car now has 52000kms. short distances sure kill the fuel economy. rwp's traffic is a mess. it lacks the flow, other then on the mall or airport road etc

[waleed80]

on my car is hardly 3k on odometer. i keep 32 lbs air in all tyres, yoko advan db 185 65 15. in islamabad its very easy to get better averages. once i filled the tank in islamabad and roamed there for some reason for like 170 kilometers in a day, and my car gave 18 km per liter with 100 percent AC on. traffic conditions there are awesome to do hypermilling. here in pindi there is a traffic signal after evey 1 km, and i never switch off my car on signals and AC is also on. in that context, getting 14 is gud enough considering overall less odometer reading till now

well then, theres nothing wrong with ur car. its just the bad traffic of rwp not much can be done about it...
all i can say is, use window shades to stop direct sunlight from entering the cabin and use a/c at lower fan speeds. this will reduce the time for which the compressor will stay on and you ll save some fuel... not much but still...

[nasir007]

Have shifted to City, bought a new city yesterday from Honda,
I have basically shifted from Gli 2010 to City 2012, just because of increased theft rate of Xli/Gli in Islamabad,
Let's see how it goes, i am still confused that if i did wrong or right !!

I am not sure about resale of city as i have been keeping Corollas since 2002. Plus the driving experience and braking plus road grip is better but City is not comfortable as far as seating is concerned plus it is also not that spacious,

-Kind Regards,

I already do that, the shades and aircon at lowest etc. I told you I try extreme HM. Let's wait and see then
