Third Generation Toyota Vitz Guide

[anon35615524]

Yes. You are right. It blinks.

My Vitz had Toyota Safety Sense in it, and Traction Control is a part of it. When it used to engage / activate, like vehicle stuck in mud, etc. Then its light / indication used to blink in the instrument cluster.

[anon35615524]

So IMO, its normal. Nothing to worry about.

One only needs to worry if its constantly lit, or doesn't lit when you know that vehicle is stuck (like in mud, sludge, uneven patch, etc., Vehicle losing its road grip / stability) and it should have lit.

I hope, it helps. Thank you.

Shah Gee no idea regarding chip chip noise, or silencer / Cat. Conv. Breaking down and making this noise.

I don't know how can a Cat. Conv. Break in to 2 or more pieces?

Still, if its broken, then scrapyards are the only places IMO, from where this can be sourced.

[anon35615524]

Shah Gee of you could kindly mention your place or city, then may be me, or experts are better able to guide you.

Thank you.

[hammad_hey]

yes i think it doesnt work because of the spacers in all four shocks

[anon35615524]

IMO, Spacers may be sincerely avoided. They might damage suspension part(s) in the long run.

I have gone with zic 5w 20 myself this time was using KIX 0w20 but as that is imported so thought might try local oil, now it cost me 3000 for 3 liters now I am wondering k kahin choona to nai lag giyaa @basitali87 oil was manufactured sate 07/19 shell and quartz 0w20 available was dated 2018 so gone with zic.

2ndly as original air filter is now for 3000 i have gone with uniking this time and will replace it every 5000 instead of original that i used to change at 10000km.

[anon35615524]

thought might try local oil

As far as I know, ZIC 5w-20 fully synthetic is 100%, fully imported. It is made and packed in Korea, and is also written at the back of the bottle.

You can also check and confirm it.

now it cost me 3000 for 3 liters now I am wondering k kahin choona to nai lag giyaa

I am of the opinion k kuj aesa hi hua hai.

As of today, its official price is Rs. 1200 for 1L pack. There is difference of 200 Rs. / L, which can put one in suspicions.

But since I have no proof, so I cannot give any verdict.

[anon35615524]

oil was manufactured sate 07/19

In that case, it might be possible that it was sold on old rates, being old stock. Still, it happens very rarely, unless / until the shopkeeper is very good, as irrespective the stock is old / new, most sell it on current price / bought price, whichever is higher.

But then the question arises, shell and quartz 0w20 available dated 2018, and ZIC 07/2019... Aren't these too old? As usually stock does not last that much longer, unless / until the sales of that shop are less.

Again... Since I have no proof, so I cannot give any verdict.

Again... Since I have no proof, so I cannot give any verdict.

Its Bahawalpur where 0W20 or 5W20 oils are not that common plus the shopkeeper is reliable and generally gives good discounts. He just keep 0W20 for rare customers like us.

I have checked back of 10W40 zic it was dated 5/20 and now they are also being packed in Lahore.

Whats the date on pack available with you ?

[anon35615524]

Dear 10w-40 might be packed here locally (Lahore or any other city, etc. Still I doubt it as it can only be packed in ZIC factory in Pakistan. If the factory is in Lahore, then OK), however, I was talking about 5w-20 engine oil Grade by ZIC, and the bottle is made, packed / packaged in Korea.

[anon35615524]

I have one bottle of 3L ZIC A+ 5w-20 left with me. I have taken pics of the bottle and sharing here to give you idea:

And lastly:

Please see the bottom right corner. The oil is made in Korea, and details speak of itself.

[ali_akbar]

The oil is made in Korea, and details speak of itself.

Absolutely old stock was packed in Korea aswell but now they might all be imported and packed here.

Please see bottle you have is also 2018 stock therefore I assume it aint a big problem because oil shelf life is 4 years.

Also after this oil change full tank and 655km on motorway from Bahawalpur to Islamabad. Best average I got since owning this car. Previously I was pouring Kix 0W20 tin pack but for that I suspected might be tempered as it is smuggled not officially atleast in Pakistan.

[anon35615524]

Yes. I think on the bottle, 12th of September, 2018, seems written, which might be the packing date.

I bought this oil stock somewhere in the beginning of 2019, if I can recall correctly.

[anon35615524]

Kixx 0w-20 is also good, provided its % authentic.

Like zicoil.pk, the official website of Kixx is kixxoil.pk

You may check the website, and seek relevant details, and details about their official, authorised dealers in different cities. I am quite hopeful, relevant details will be there.

[ali_akbar]

Kixx 0w-20 is also good, provided

Absolutely their entire range is fully synthetic, but I got good millage out of Zic but more driving is required to see if its actually true. Got 17.5 average with Zic while with Kix i used to get 16.5 on motorway that is.

@Basitali87 Hi Bro, Did you still have this Ride or Sold it ? it looks good like new car from Japan.

How much did cost you total i guess 19 Something ? It looks beautiful though but it have same 1krfe engine that vibrates alot on idle .

How was your Experience in this car bro ?

[anon35615524]

Its Great to know MA SHA ALLAH.

Still, generally speaking, 0w-20 should still give better fuel economy, when compared to 5w-20.

Yes, it may vary from brand to brand.

[anon35615524]

Shah Gee it got sold this year, in March 2020. Currently, I don't have it or own it.

Yes, it was personally imported by me from Japan, in last Quarter of 2018, and costed me around 18.20 that time.

The 1KR-FE post 2014~2015 seems quite refined, and better, compared to the same engine in 2014 and before vehicles.

My experience with this car was ~10/10.

[syedfaizan1]

Great Amazing Bro, mashAllah it was really nice ride and hard to find such cleaned cars here in pakistan. you did great to bought it from Japan Directly in very good price.

Further more After selling this car what you bought it ?
