Q
What mileage for MYVI spark plugs?
According to Perodua's official recommendation, the mileage for replacing the spark plugs of the Myvi is usually between 40,000 and 60,000 kilometers. The specific interval depends on the type of spark plugs used in the vehicle and the driving conditions. The original equipment generally comes with ordinary nickel - alloy spark plugs. If you upgrade to iridium or platinum spark plugs, the replacement interval can be extended to 80,000 - 100,000 kilometers. It's worth noting that if you often experience difficulties with cold starts, unstable idling, or an abnormal increase in fuel consumption, it may be a sign of spark plug aging, and you need to have them checked in advance. The hot and humid climate in Malaysia can accelerate the wear of spark plug electrodes. It is recommended to check the condition of the spark plugs during regular maintenance. At the same time, use original or equivalent - quality accessories that meet the specifications of the Myvi engine (such as the heat range). Inferior spark plugs may lead to a decrease in ignition efficiency and even damage the ignition coil. For the turbo - charged Myvi X version, since the engine operates at a higher temperature, it is recommended to shorten the replacement cycle by about 20% to ensure optimal performance.

Q
What kind of gearbox is Myvi?
The Myvi is equipped with a Dual Mode CVT (D-CVT) transmission, which is a dual-mode continuously variable transmission. Compared with traditional CVT transmissions, it has an additional gear for high-speed driving, which helps the vehicle achieve better fuel efficiency. In daily driving, this transmission drives the vehicle in CVT mode. Thanks to the operation of the steel belt, the vehicle moves smoothly and linearly, enhancing comfort. What makes the D-CVT special is that it automatically switches to the gear mode when driving at high speeds. Different from CVT transmissions of other brands, when driving at high speeds, the engine speed of vehicles with ordinary CVT transmissions will increase, the engine noise will get louder, and the fuel consumption will rise. Moreover, the power will decline after exceeding the maximum horsepower speed. However, after the gear of the D-CVT engages, the engine speed decreases, allowing the engine to maintain a reasonable speed and providing the vehicle with continuous and abundant power.

Q
Does Myvi use CVT?
Yes, the Perodua Myvi does use CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) technology in some models, especially the newer ones. For instance, the third-generation Myvi, launched in 2017, and its subsequent versions are equipped with D-CVT (Dual Mode Continuously Variable Transmission) to offer a smoother driving experience and better fuel efficiency. CVT technology optimizes engine performance through continuously variable gear ratios. Compared with traditional automatic transmissions, it can adapt to driving conditions more flexibly, thereby enhancing overall driving comfort. However, earlier Myvi models may have used a traditional 4-speed automatic transmission. So, whether a specific model is equipped with a CVT needs to be confirmed based on the model year and configuration. For Malaysian consumers, the advantages of CVT lie in its smoothness and fuel - saving performance during city driving, which is very suitable for the common local traffic conditions. But if you're looking for more direct power feedback, some drivers may prefer the manual transmission version. If you're considering buying a Myvi, it's recommended to check the official specifications or consult a dealer to confirm the transmission type. You can also take a test drive to see if the actual performance of the CVT meets your driving preferences.
