Follow by Servicing Date or mileage?

Not sure if this question was asked before.... but here goes..

Mine is an OPC car so, mileage will not hit 6K so fast, but the C&C already send reminders through letters and sms, reminding me to go for servicing because the time has come for the 2nd servicing liaoz.... however, my mileage is still 3K++ nia....

My dad told me to ignore and go servicing when i reached 6K.....

any advice?

go by mileage... The letter they sent is just a reminder to you.. I did my 5k servicing at the mileage of 7k..

Is there an expiry date to the first 2 free servicing? (I heard from my friend that nissan's service 3 free servcing need to be done within a year..)

I think for the first 2 servicing, especially with mineral oil, it's best to change it based on time if you are unable to achieve the mileage within the specified period of time. It's because mineral oil tends to oxidise more easily under high temperature, and since your engine is new, the metal particles which are suspended within the oil is abrading the internals. With synthetic oil, the need to change the oil within the time frame isn't so urgent as synthetic oils has additives.

For OPC this is one major problem, which is to hit the time to change syn oil. But if you want u can request them to do a change to syn oil (top up) more but at least you can dun need to worry so much about time for the Syn oil. But also dun wait too long between oil changes.

but will delaying servicing void warranty?
1st time owner here. hehe..

Date or mileage I think whichever come first. Same for tyres change at 40K or 2 years.

mine if OPC too, i just received the reminder for next servicing, but my mileage barely 2k only. so the verdict is, i should go for servicing becos i'm still running on mineral oil?

my last servicing is 4 july.

Hmmmmm... I thought servicing is at 1k, 5k, 10k...etc.

There's 2 x 5k servicing is it? I'm quite puzzled here.

I went for my 1k servicing, then scheduled to go for the 5k servicing. However, I went for my 5k servicing at milage 4700km+, now there have scheduled me for servicing again at 9700km+. Is there an error here? 'Cause thought next servicing will be at 4700+10000 = 14700km ?

Is it a norm to go through 2 x 5k servicing?

my 1st service i went at almost 3k. my 2nd service, i went at 9k plus! :p delayed my servicing date stated by a few weeks, no problem

Problem may come when problems come. Car no problem of course no problem. Lol.

dun drag the servicing beyond 6 months for mineral oil, not good for engine

hmmm, so for servicing, normally you will receive a reminder letter 1st after how long? Coz mine is OPC car too, havent receive any letter, but my mileage is 1.8k now. any idea? Thanks!

I booked my servicing for the 10k on the 29th this month....then I kena Chicken Pox. =(

Ayam ayam, why u come find me ?

1000km and 5000km mileage is compulsory service at CnC ?

all the fee & cost are free rite?

If you still want yr warranty to be valid, you will need to send yr ride to them for servicing within the covering period.

My 1k servicing will be next Tues. Going to change to full syn oil and will be going back to them only during the 10k servicing, skipping the 5k.

for 1k and 5k, only free labour cost
U still need to pay for the mineral engine oil ($51+)

For my second sevicing i think i'm going for full syn. Or you guys recomend to wait till 3 change then go for full syn.

I ride too and find that mineral oil and full syn oil really got a lot of difference in power delivery wise after the engine is properly warmed up. Cos me first time car owner so not too sure. Have been riding at least 5 bikes now and that's what i did everytime, use only full syn.

Thanks tarepanda,

Due to some mis-communication and being a 1st time owner, i missed my 1st 1k service. Going to do it at Eunos this Saturday where my mileage is 1.8k now! My stupid sale rep...

not to worry lar...just treat that ur run-in last longer

aft 1k service, they put a sticker at ur front windscreen, state teh next service is 6k or ddmmyy which ever comes early...oil have lifespan, even for syn oil, better change it at least half a year
