Actually waited until 95 is available and pumped last week. Wife has a Kia Picanto, so we used it as the primary vehicle because we can pump 92, it is safe.

Still did not use it, able to fill 95, and wife is having a car can use 92, so we mostly use it now

I ordered STP 150 ml and it is on the way. This bottle is sufficient for 52l and that is the full tank amount. Planning to add 75ml at the half tank mark and fill to make full tank. I'm having a ford and it is designed to run with 95 or higher so I have to use an Octane booster. I couldn't find Liquy Molly and Wurth and then saw STP in Daraz app and made the order

It is better to take it to a reputed workshop or to the agent and ask them to do a scan. Then they will be able to find the cause for the issue. Could be an issue in EPS system or could be related to a faulty wheel speed sensor. Do you get the ABS light also in the dashboard.

Most probably this issue is related to wheel speed sensors (ABS Sensor), it is connected to stability control, EPS, hil start assist etc. I had the same issue in my Ford Focus and had to replace front wheel speed sensors. Then it is resolved. In addition, this can come if the 12V battery is week, but you say you changed the battery so this could be one or more faulty wheel speed sensor Better to do a live scan and see speed sensors give live data, means you need to connect the scanner and drive the car and check all the wheels give speed data. If one or more sensor gives zero or constant high value (my front sensors gave 260 Km\h which is the max value according to the speedo meter), it is a faulty sensor

Yeah, it could be the emission regulation. My car is designed for Euro 6 emission standard similar to new Eclipses \CHRs are designed to Europe

In my Ford Focus, the agent recommends to change oil in 7500km or 6 months. I need to use 5W 20 fully synthetic oil 4.6l and it is pretty expensive. It costs me around 15000 for 5 liters of oil and the cost of the oil filter is around 3700/- I feel it can run 1 year if I do not reach 7500 km. However I need to change the oil and filter in every 6 months to maintain the warranty.

My Ford Focus with 1L Eco-boost engine is also 10:1 and Petrol tank lid says 95 Octane or higher. Ford also gives different specs according to the region (normal condition, warm condition and hot condition), Sri Lanka, Australia, Africa etc. are considered as warm condition. However it seems the compression ratio of this engine is same in all the regions and recommend fuel is 95 or higher. Not sure why they recommend 95 where CHR engine with same compression ration can run 92.

Yes, seems like they dismantle the transmission to change the filter. I overheard this when I was in Kia service center. It seems it is same for Kia Picano as well.

Correct me if I wrong. Isn't the engine of Nissan note e-power acts as a generator to charge the battery and drive train is an electric drive train. So motors drive the car not the engine. So the load for the engine should be lower than the similar capacity gasoline car. So I think it is better to do the services in 10000km or 1 year interval since OP is using synthetic oil.

If I have ops budget, definitely go for the Accord with 3 year warranty

It seems carbon tax is not included in revenue license fee when you renew it online. Is there a way to pay the carbon tax online? There is no point of the online service if we need to go and pay the carbon tax manually right.

Ford Ecosport is also a good option. I think it is better than Raize. You can check with Ford agent Future Automobiles and will be able to get it brand new below 6M. as I remember it has 5 years Ford warranty.

I also have a Ford with wet timing belt and recommended is ACEA A5/B5 similar to FK6. So agents use Castrol Edge Pro or Castrol Magnatec Professional, both are ACEA A5/B5 certified

1.5-2.0 M range you will be able to get a Viva elite and the performance of the Viva in Kandy will be similar to Picanto I mentioned above or little bit higher than Picanto. According to the reviews Viva will be a good car. I mentioned above because you said you were disappointed with the fuel economy of the Wagon R, So non-hybrid 1000cc cars will give give max10-11 km/l fuel economy in Kandy hills and the in the usual traffic. One of my friend has a 2018 Toyta Vitz and it also gives 10-11 km/l economy in Kandy. I thought wagon R gives a good fuel economy since it is mild hybrid

Well we have a Kia Picanto, a similar car to Viva elite and we mainly drive it in Kandy. It gives around 10km/l in Kandy and if you go Kandy-Colombo-Kandy, the average is around 13 km/l. I think the fuel economy of Viva also same or very slightly higher than Picanto due to the weight difference. 1000 CC engine is sufficient for the Kandy hills with 4 adults. When you need to overtake sometimes you need to stand on the accelerator so this might be same as Viva. Hope this will give you an idea how a small 1000cc car with 4 speed auto gear box performs in Kandy

Is it 6 speed automatic gearbox? If it is 1.5, then most probably it has a conventional gear box but better to check with the agent This is not given in owners manual, I have Ford Focus and I got this information from https://www.etis.ford.com however now you cannot register or view information in above etis site due to GDPR requirements

Agent imported Fords with 1l ecoboost engines come with 6 speed torque converter gear box. They do not offer power shift DCT to Sri Lanka. If it is a grey imported one from the UK, it can have DCT

1-2. As I remember MG ZS has 6 speed conventional auto transmission and it does not have a dual clutch transmission 3. Yes, you need to pump 95 octane since it is a turbo charged GDI engine

Does it have one pedal only?, I heard this somewhere. If so is it easy to drive in our stop and go traffic

Yeah, my wife is also using Picanto since 2017. Service is OK but recently we had problems when making appointments on Saturdays in Kurunegala service station. If there is only one appointment, they reject it and ask to come in a week day. This is a big problem when they have only two service centers in Colombo and Kurunegala. We both do not have time to to visit Colombo or Kurnegala only to service this basic vehicle. They should appoint authorized service agents around the country if they want to become a mainstream brand in Sri Lanka. As I remember they have appointed Automiraj as authorized service partner earlier but now they do not have this partnership. Last time, I said I don't have time to come to Kurunegala in a weekday only for the service and demanded at least do the oil change in Saturday and they agreed. So did the oil change, air filter and cabin air filter and stamped the warranty book.

Their web site is out dated. This info was there when I purchase my car from them in 2018. They heavily use their facebook page for marketing instead of the website. Just give them a call. I visited them for the service in last week and did not see any Focus sedans in the showroom. They may bring down another lot soon. The phone number given in website is correct

As Kush said, this does not matter. W means winter so does not matter in our climate. The number in the latter describes the viscosity so both oils have same viscosity.
