Advised Urged Should How about making annual safety checks mandatory!

A good "Tent" will have the price displayed on the vehicle. If there is no price displayed, the owner will go for as much as he thinks you can pay!

The numbers in this story are so contradictory.

It looks like it needs a machine gun behind the checker plate.

I'm sure it was well insured......

If you didn't know where to buy one, you do now! I'm sure business will boom after this free advertisement.

5 w 30 is used to combat high temperature/ loads. When it's 37c outside, you don't want a lower viscosity oil.

That is technically inaccurate. The engine has a thermostat for a reason and it is to maintain the engine temperature at a fairly constant range. Whether it is 30 deg or 37 deg it is unlikely the engine/oil temperature will change. Under heavy loading conditions such as fast and heavy acceleration, yes as the time between the cooling system catching up to the change in temperature takes time. But not with slow changes in ambient temperature as it can keep up. My engine temperature gauge shows exactly the same temperature regardless of the outside temperature.

The recommended petrol engine oil, with the exception of Hybrid models, (for Western European driving and weather conditions) is a synthetic engine oil meeting the minimum specification of ACEA A1/B1. The range of Honda Genuine Oil viscosities are 0W-20, 5W40 and 10W40

Yes, i think he is.

Yes.

Toyota says it will go yellow. My friend has to pay 400bt every service for a special polish to be applied. This is mandatory to keep the body warranty.

I have a 2009 Civic 2.0 and this is the sticker from my last oil change at Honda dealer. 0W20 fully synthetic.

Some information on the advantages:

The lower viscosity oil is used to gain maximum fuel economy.

5 w 30 is used to combat high temperature/ loads. When it's 37c outside, you don't want a lower viscosity oil.

FYI, The Honda genuine engine oil range is all synthetic.

Fully synthetic: 5w 20 or 5w 30.

Palm oil is a very unhealthy oil. It is packed with saturated fat!

Your mechanic is a fool!

If you live in Bangkok you should find a Auto box specialist. Check Honda's price, but i think it will be a lot more.

The CVT box is notoriously bad. I think changing the start clutch about 15k. A new gearbox 30-50k.

I take it it's the CVT gearbox.

Common problem if the fluid is not changed regularly. It costs a fortune to fix.

My sim has gone on to roaming. A friend said the network is down for a couple of days. Anyone heard this?

The article only mentioned compensation. What about the stringent rules?

You must buy compulsory insurance. 600-900bt

E bay is your best bet.

The Bangpakong river feeds the canals, and it has been quite high for the past few days. So, i don't know where the water has gone.
