Hi,

I will be sending my car for 1K servicing soon. Can I check if I send it at 830am at Pandan Gardens on a Wed morning, around what time will I get it back? Any experience anyone?

Thanks!

what oil did u guys use for 1k and intend to use for 5k?

1k they die die want me to use mineral oil

by fonefun610 6th July 2009, 12:32 pm

they guy there just say they will use mineral oil for both 1k and 5k... didn't give me any choices.

by joepele 6th July 2009, 12:40 pm

Hi guys,

Coz basically, running in also = fine tuning of the engine condition from the rough edges in the engine.

Actually most vehicles are factory run in but still better to do a proper run in on your own.

Normal conditions, one will only change oils @ 10k intervals.

But running in is different cos the distance is lower and the oil will be full of fine metal particles. That;s why they usually dun recommend fully syn oil cos it's a waste of money.

Mechanics will usually will recommend fully sun after the 5k run in.

Rule of thumb...
Mineral oil is not that it's not good... but the life is shorter.
usually 5k only

Syn oil is not exactly fantastic, only good point, change less frequently.
usually 10k.

Anyway, if you need more protection... use a higher viscosity oil then.

Oh ya... rule of thumb.
Higher viscosity - More protection, lesser performance.
Lower = vice versa.

by **tish** 6th July 2009, 1:07 pm

C&C mech sugguest to still use mineral oil on the 5k servicing.... maybe a fully syn with higher viscosity is better on the 5k servicing

by lukester 6th July 2009, 3:32 pm

Sent at 7.30am. Just got a call at 2.30pm

total 7 hours to rectify 6 problems

by **tish** 6th July 2009, 7:28 pm

SAME!!!! they told me no problem with alignment.

Ok lah after driving since they service I think really cannot feel anything if I go straight, but when on a bend, esp on expressway like PIE, can feel it move alot to the left.

what i told them is i continue to monitor, but next time i complain same issue again

by fonefun610 9th July 2009, 3:47 pm

i told them alignment problem, they say will check for me. then later tell me is tyre problem then they swap front/rear tyre and service the brakes.

bro off topic ley, not talking about that incident in particular. that one an accident which no one wanted also. all i know was it was not his duty to check the vehicle, u think its officer job to check to vehicle? specs job ley.. all i know he was a very nice guy who was doing someone else's job.

ok, at least from that we learn that we at least need handbrake?
