I guess it should be 36psi as it is mentioned on the pillar of the car

pwuser155818565367 (syed khalid) 2020-09-07 15:22:45 +0500 #3468

Tire pressure is ok as mentioned by suzuki i.e 36 psi

danishmmh (danishmmh) 2020-09-07 15:41:01 +0500 #3469

Well i keep 33 because the tire wall says max pressure is 35 psi. whereas Suzuki says to keep 36

It should be reverse of what you wrote. Auto when climbing and manual when going down.

I also feel the same. After the recent service, the average has reduced from 22-23 to 20-21kmpl for me. Even though I've switched from 10w40(stock) to 0w20.
Did the dealership adjust your car's spark plug gap? Because they did it for my car, without informing me, and I feel it was unnecessary.

In city or long route mileage ???

scholar.center (scholar.center) 2020-09-08 01:26:58 +0500 #3473

Some people reported reduction in mileage when using hioctane..... this engine is designed for regular petrol not hioctane. You can mix hioctane by 10-20%. Not more for your self satisfiction..

In city

pwuser155818565367 (syed khalid) 2020-09-09 23:57:51 +0500 #3476

We have to use fuel of octane no. 90 or higher as per Suzuki instructions

scholar.center (scholar.center) 2020-09-10 05:46:11 +0500 #3477

You are right... but the method used by oil companied to produce HOBC is quedtionable. They increase RON rating 87 to 95 by adding some meganese based chemical. This meganese is converted into meganese oxide powder within engine cylinder and choke catalytic converter in long run. You can search PW for honda turbo engine issue that lead towards official complaint made by Honda against oil companies in OGRA.

Currently euro5 ron97 by PSO is another thing. This petrol is imp as final finished product from other countries. This has very low maganese level in order to meet EURO5 standard.
Pak suzuki alto is designed for Ron90 by using 1:10 fuel compression ratio. We routine petrol is claimed to be RON 92. So. It can be sufficient for this engine.
HOBC ron95 is for high compression engine with high horse power car like mira eis with 1:11.2 ratio in order to avoid engine knocking.
So in my understanding, mixing of euro5 with normal petrol is sfficient. But driving this alto on euro5 or HOBC may not give much benefits or cost effective and economical.

pwuser155818565367 (syed khalid) 2020-09-10 11:59:35 +0500 #3479

Jazak Allah for such a nice information @scholar.center From now onwards I will put Ron 92 (altron premium) in my car.

I also own pkdm alto vxr and I always refill regular RON 92 from reputed PSO pump, never had any issue in mileage except when the fuel was priced at 74/litre couple of months ago. High octane is indeed for higher compression ratio engines but not necessarily higher horse power. For eg, engine in pkdm alto (vvt less) produces 48HP peak with CR of 10 whille same engine in jdm alto (manual variant and without vvt in engine) produces 48HP peak with CR of 11.0. Its the difference of 2cc per cylinder anyway in the CR of 10 and 11

Hi everyone. I recently brought an Alto VXL. How much time it will take to get my car invoice? The dealership says that it will come from headoffice in 15 days. Thanks in advance

Hello. Where can I buy suzuki ags ecstar gear oil in khi? Not available at any dealership

saqibhassan95 2020-09-10 17:16:51 +0500 #3483

It's available at naseer autos

pwuser159499155581 (Reaper Khan) 2020-09-11 00:39:07 +0500 #3484

Alright, so Pak Suzuki suggests RON 90 or above for this car, as per owner's manual.
However, if i quote many messages on this forum including my self where we went against Pak Suzuki engine oil recommendation, then how authentic can be fuel suggestion?
Moreover, as we are aware of gas station owners in Pakistan, mostly selling shitty fuel mixed with God knows what; would mixing that kind of fuel with RON 97 a good idea?
I am just trying to put all existing factors on table to clarify confusion for non-technical guys like me.

Much appreciated!

aoa... i just did the 3 months service they changed the oil and oil filterput the same suzuki 10-40... they did not tune it from computer as their team checked and said its not required; and i didnt force them as the average i am getting is ok as per my driving style.. am still getting the same mileage 16.2 in city driving with ac. i did ask them about the 0-20 and they said suzuki does not recommend and i didn't bother arguing as my car is with extended warranty; however i did refill with the new euro5 fuel as pso claims but that made 0 difference in mileage. therefor from my experience would not recommend any other fuel then the regular one unless proven otherwise...
oh... the car us driven on a daily basis with average speeds of 70 to 80
