Seats are already covered, carpet mats topped w/ better floorliners, quality tint, better sounding horns, paint pre-protected & other upgrades...necessities or not.
Oh, this 1, front plate's already in the proper location!

Hope it goes to a good home. The gen3s are solid, reliable Japan CBU units...& they're very tunable for more power, efficiency or both!

So I recently bought a Delkor brand battery. What am I gonna do with the old one(OEM-Yuasa)?
It still works except that its says iStop cannot be supported anymore. Never had issues starting up vehicle with it for the last 2 months. Maybe a backup for long travel?

How old was your Yuasa? A smart charger like the CTEK MXS 5.0 might be able to squeeze some juice off it for use in another car where it can fit. Keep your your new Delkor conditioned w/ the CTEK to extend its service life.

Share us how much longer it serves your Vios before its last breath, sir. That'll be good real world info. Yuasa is xfolds better than Motolite.

Yup! Thats what I thought. Yuasa batt served me well (in my case bec I know some users had diff experience).

If not bec of the eyesore orange blinking light on my dash for iStop, I wouldnt change it yet until it gives up but better be safe and to have a peace of mind

I think we'll get an update sooner here than on the vios thread.

was able to squeeze more from my stock panasonic EFB.. since lock down, got the mazda parked for a month, battery still able to start but cranking is very sluggish.. just barely starting the car, then i-stop error appears..

charged the car using ctek and the next start, no more i-stop error but you will really feel the cranking power is weak.. used it for 1 month more until i decided to replace the battery with new one..

if i-stop will not be used (like me, i don't use the feature coz i feel stressed when the engine suddenly dies) regular battery will suffice!

bought an emtrac Q85 battery as it is the cheapest i found in the market, around 7k only. so far so good!

the price of EFB batts cost almost twice of regular batt so in the end, you pay the same amount for its life expectancy.

Nakita ko sa Castrol official store sa shopee 2,349 php 4 liters plus may 1 liter free. Not bad for the price.

Now contemplating if mag Castrol magnatec ba ako, Amsoil OE or Amsoil SS this November oil change hahaha. 6 months pa din plan ko na OCI.
