JDM Time - Passo 2010-13

[Dawar]

Always use synthetic oil as per the recommendations written at the back of bonnet just above batteries! That is 0w-30 or 5w-30. Using a oil which is thick will reduce fuel economy significantly the very purpose of owning a passo or vitz plus car will feel heavy and put load over CVT over a period of time.
Buy a 4 liter oil Zic Fe 5w-20 best for now in winters & otherwise at the next change and fill 3.1 liters. ..keep the remaining with and keep toping it up occasionally if you see reduction in oil till you change after 7000kms. Next time buy 3 liter oils for next 3 changes and keep toping it up.
I am changing Zic X7 Fe 5w-20 every after 6000-7000km for a long time and my engine is revving like new.
Dont waste your money changing good oil before 6000km.
And trust me Zic is way better than Shell helix.

So due to fear i do check[emoji12].

Well it behaves differently with fully synthetic SN grade oils
I bought the car at 30 000km's n now 150 almost.
I pour in half a glass around 6_7000kms to top up n drain at 10 000km's

Since oil reduction is common, does this mean we have to fill up more oil? For increased lubricity? Would it cause any damage if we don't top up after oil reduction

You may add oil when level reduces up to middle of two points on dip stick, add up to the maximum level point. Don`t add more than maximum level. Oil more than maximum level may cause extra pressure on oil seals.
There will be no damage to engine due to reduced oil even at minimum level, as far as the level is concerned. Oil quality is exception to this case. There is enough lubrication even at minimum point oil level.

Yes it does.

Normally small engines of cars using fully synthetic lube oil should not reduce oil except very nominal quantity up to 5000 kms. Things happening around now a days suspected to have something fishy fishy.

Dear ALL,
My Passo 2013 is hitting speed breakers. I am thinking to increase the height. What is best solution? Install spacer on all 4 tires or change spring suspension on back side only. If spacer are to be installed then 1 inch or 2 inches are ok?

Don't ruin the car with spacers. Just switch to 185/65/14s for better ground clearance.

bigger tires will kill fuel economy in my opinion
add spacers are rear. 1" is enough
dont worry about headlights as passo has headlight adjustment control knob

[angel82]

I believe @drusmannawaz himself using 185/65 and haven't noted any significant difference in Mileage.

My Office colleage is also using same size in his passo and getting around 18-20 kpml now a days without AC.

Still want to increase the height then try using this product instead. i saw a prius onwer on PW using it and he was quiite satisfied.

Today i checked dip stick for engine oil to check oil level after 10K KM of last oil change and i was shocked to see that there was only 1 cm of oil on it.

I am using LM but i have found the same problem with ZIC as well, although my car performance is great mileage wise which is around 18-20 KMpl.

What could be cause of it and what should be the solution ?

Model: Boon 2011

Since its a local used car with no auction sheet.changel all oils filters.check plugs n brakes.

[hash4u]

These jdm's are shopping carts
This is not a bmw 545i with a v8 which will withstand 10 000 mile oil change
Use a simple oil n change at 5000km

[DrUsmanNawaz]

Better to change tyre size
