Aoa I have recently bought Mira X Memorial Edition Model 2013 registered 2016 and 84000 km on the ODO. Ther previous owner was the 1st owner of the car. He was using Amsoil 10w-40 engine oil. I want to ask can I change this to ZIC 5w-30?? Does this change cause any issues?

[crossfirex]

Yes but better go for zic 0w-20

[alibintahir]

I want to ask can I change this to ZIC 5w-30?

Yes, you can change it to Zic 5w-30, but keep a close look at the Engine oil level dipstick and if your car is reducing/consuming oil, then I suggest you keep the oil grade to 10w-40 and if not, then keep using it.
I myself am using Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic 5w30 and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

The rest is your choice. I hope it helps.

[ali.raza.asghar]

What is the difference between 0W20 and 5W30??

[ali.raza.asghar]

@alibintahir Thanks alot. After how many km u change oil??

[alibintahir]

Thanks alot

Happy to help.

After how many km u change oil??

The recommended range is 5000 kms, but I change it around 3500-4000 kms.

[crossfirex]

Both are the only recommended oils for mira.
But 10w 40 is not recommended

[ali.raza.asghar]

Alright Thanks alot folks. I do have a few more questions: -
1. What tyre pressure is most suitable for this car?
2. Can we change the language of the stock Japanese system that came with the car??

[crossfirex]

I am using common standard 30psi. But depends on tyre u use

[ali.raza.asghar]

@crossfirex can I use ZIC 5w20 instead of 5w30 as in zic it is available in 5w20??

[crossfirex]

Yes of course but nothing above 5w-30 else u will be going against oem recommendation so u will not get good mileage

Guys where to buy replacement eco idle battery?

[umarmuslim]

I think Daewoo should be fine, for the Pleo, right ?

[saad.ikram.5688]

Remember to not go for Daewoo DR46, the amps are too low for eco idle working.
You need DR50 and check the orientation of the terminals if they fit then all is well, if they dont fit then dont force them on, buy the Phoenix EFB Eco idle specific battery it will have terminals in the opposite direction as compared to daewoo

[crossfirex]

I am using daewoo DL-55 and it works excellent on eco idle but dont buy lower rating than this and if u from karachi buy from defence traders near NMC

What is the transmission oil capacity of Mira?? I have recently purchased Mira ES 2013 model and the previous owner changed transmission oil before selling and used AMSOIL CVT fluid (quantity 4 litres) whereas the user manual I have seen on this forum of same car suggests 5.7 litres. Can someone plz explain??

[crossfirex]

I also bought the Mira ES 2013 car 63000 km driven and on its door it was written that CVT oil was changed at 40000km so now car is at 98000km so do i need to change CVT oil and which oil should i buy and what quantity? I think simce this is a long term investment so it should be of best quality isn't it?

[sheikh_meister]

Transmission oil for 2013 and previous models with CVT transmission is Toyota's CVT-TC fluid. Somewhere in 2014 they started using CVT-FE fluid so people with 2014 model cars will have to check which oil has been used. When you remove the drain plug, about 2.5 liters of oil will come out. Remaining oil is still inside the transmission. The proper method is to get 2 containers of the transmission fluid (4L each) and drain and fill the fluid 3 times to flush out max amount of old fluid. Do get the CVT calibration done after completing the oil change process.
