Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: 2 questions
« Last post by jazzaro on March 22, 2023, 02:34:51 PM »Just drive gently when cold as others have said. Sitting idling doesn't really help anything on modern cars. The most essential thing is to make sure you change oil every 6 months to ensure the oil stays a decent viscosity to protect at startup.6 months? A modern sinthetic 0W20 oil can easily resist more than a year.

However, Hadecs are more finely tuned than older cameras and newer Monitrons and Truvelos.
A friend got fined on the M25 for a true speed of 72mph and when he queried it they said his speedometer, due to legislation at the time, would have been reading 75 or greater so he had no excuse.

I have always changed oil with a fully synthetic cheapo brand every 6months on every car I have owned and they always easily do well over 160,000 miles with no issues.

« Last post by Kremmen on March 22, 2023, 01:29:45 PM »I agree. I didn't get offered anything extra but I would also have declined.
Shouldn't need it on a new car.
