Oh my Bendix !!!

On the year 2015 I had my front brake pad replaced with a pair of Bendix brake pad for Hyundai Elantra 2008 aka Elantra X20. I had my brake pad check this time around and what a surprised outcome.....thin down to the max!!

Lucky it did not reach the disc rotor or else it will an expensive repair.
I have the replacement set ready..off course it's Bendix again.

I'm very happy with grip quality of this brake pads...far far better than the original. There is also Bendix metal ..if you really really want a very very strong grip ( if you are always a fast driver). It cost me labour RM20 per side to replace the brake pads. The brake pad alone is RM140. 

As approaching the 200k km on my Hyundai Matrix

As the car is getting old , more need to be done and careful maintenance as well. It's not yet breaking by pocket ..I hope not for another 10 years. I brought my own oil, its a Shell mineral oil. Intend to use on short term basis, next oil change I will use the semi synthetic...that would be somewhere next year  as my daily travel only 20km, rarely 60km.

  

The original Hyundai oil filter cost RM30 but the original Proton Wira 1.5 only cost me RM18. So far no problem , my foreman say he has fitted on many hyundai..no problem. I will change back to the original in the next oil change.

Had the gear oil change as well. I usually change the gear oil once every 2 times I change the engine oil.
