Just had a call from MMTH - since Nov1 they have changed their policy. 5k No longer required, but you can if you wish. But you must go every 10k. Warranty still good for 150km and 5yrs. I have asked for something in writing.

thanks soloflyer!

i called them up at 02-529-9500 and was told the same thing!

but they said we have to go for servicing every 10,000km, or latest at 11,000km. anything more than that will cause the warranty to be void too.

Can confirm same also. Have told them to send me the "Diamond Warranty Card" though

[rics21]

anyway what has to be done at the mitsu service center during the 10,000km for the PJS?

so besides the normal oil change and stuff, what else?

i recalled MRO told me to get:

1. air-con filter

2. EGR plug

3. K&N filter

so, i will just tell the mitsu service center to get these done or i must try to buy filters + plug myself?

is it ok to buy my own engine oil and ask them to change for me?

i recalled the mitsu service center used Castrol for me during my 1,000km engine oil change. so is it better to get Shell or others?

i was thinking to get the:

1. Shell Helix Diesel Ultra

2. Shell Helix Diesel Hx 5

3. Shell Helix Diesel HX7

It's your thread, do with it what you will

hi any mu7 Owners can advise if you manage to get a 3rd party air filter installed?

I contacted khun Oan from MRO's recommendation but she claimed K&N doesnt have an air filter part no in the DB for mu7.

Anyone managed to use another model's part ?

Appreciate any advice !

BTW, got some projector fog lights with ccfl rings, just need to get some xenon's and fit them

Beam pattern is perfect - I can go as bright as I want with them

out of interest, why did you go with the projectors and xenon's over the brighter halogen?

I'm probably going with the Xenon's upper but still not sure what to do with the fogs...

Another Q, I was told I can tint my headlights to go with the black body of the car or there's another "painting" (is this just the bezel/mountings?) process that takes half a day - however my Thai is limited in this arena and I can only find tinting on google.

Umm, you got that around the wrong way - xenon is ~400% brighter than most halogens.

Tinting isn't a great idea, for obvious reasons. Most of the shops that specilaize in HID/xenon retrofits offer a headlight painting service where they disassemble them and 'blackout' the bits behind the exterior plastic lens, so no light output lost.

I meant, over upgrading your halogens to brighter halogens for the colour match

Ahh I see

Both the projector fogs and the main beam projectors were both 4300K xenons, so were color matched

The LED's were approx 5000-6000 Kelvin, but I was not interested in going that high on color temp for the lights I use to see the road with - that would defeat the purpose of upgrading to xenon in the first place

The high beams on that car were still halogens, but upgraded to 100W 'super white' (or some such), so close-ish to the main beam and fog color. Even then, due to the massive light output of the 4 xenon projectors, the high beams didn't contribute much except for illuminating distant street signs

Excellent - I know where I'm going now. Xenon's for main beam and 5000K bulbs for the fogs - I only use them on the last stretch of road home to see stray dogs

Just to update, added xenon lights upper 2 weeks ago - 30 minutes - and had the chrome look painted black (then hairdryered on like a lacquer) yesterday 3 hours - looks much better and is starting to come together.

Bit hard to convey my needs to these guys (if it's not flashing blue) but when they get it they are inexpensive and do quality work.

Xenons were 2,800 with 18 month warranty if fitted by them and lacquer 900 baht.

Next up the high beams and fog lights...

I should stick a girl's lady parts on there?!?

This is one nice mod!! From my observance, it really fits in with the overall character of this Black MU-7!
