Hi All,
I have a HONDA AMAZE DIESEL purchased on Jan 1st 2015. At first (before 1st and 2nd servicing), the avg kmpl displayed onboard was around 21kmpl on highways and 20kmpl in city.(AC is always kept on)
This has now dropped to 18.4kmpl in city and max 19kmpl in highway.
The total run on odometer is 7456 kms and is due for 3rd servicing on 27th June 2015.
I always keep the tyres pressure as mentioned by manufacturer and check it every week. We put the diesel in the same petrol pump for all our cars and it has been years.
Can anyone let me know what can be the possible reasons for the drop in mileage? The car is run either by me or dad, and we both are against high revs or overtaking. We drive it slowly and smoothly.
Some blogs and forums suggest noted that after the servicing it will be all ok. I don’t understand what the mechanic can do. Of course I will change the oil this time, but still, what else can be done to improve the mileage.
I wonder if any part is not performing up to its mark.
Please suggest what I should tell my service engineer this time so that he can check all those things. Any specific parts to check for wear and tear?
Should i do an engine flush before pouring the new engine oil?
Should i go with fully synthetic or the recommended oil by Honda?
Thanks & regards
