Crazybugger 1st Gear October 12, 2006 Share October 12, 2006 How often cabbies change their oil? if estimate average 50km/h for 20hrs a day, will be 1000km per day. can't imagine doing oil change every week some of the diesel engine oils also got API SL rating ... means can be used for our gasoline cars.

Whitepowder Neutral Newbie October 12, 2006 Share October 12, 2006 (edited) Comfort change oil once every month. Most cabs (with two drivers) travel 5 to 600km a day. An avearge car in Singapore with 50% city 50% HW travel average 30 to 40 km/hr. Taxi is slightly lower.

Crazybugger 1st Gear October 12, 2006 Share October 12, 2006 once a month at 600km/day works out to 18000km/month!!! I believe the "taxi oil" are dino oil? why are we doing 10000km oil change for synthetics? i believe the cabbies take care of their cars very carefully since it's their "tan zhia" means?

Whitepowder Neutral Newbie October 12, 2006 Share October 12, 2006 Taxi Co want to save $, they use normal oil. Comfort changes oil for their cab once every month. The other two big one do the same. It can Comfort 4 million a year if they do two oil change a month. Taxi driver don't own the cab, they rent it. Comfort give them 5 lit lube oil every month for topping up. If the engine eat more oil, they must pay for it. I know some cabbies actually buy used oil from workshop for topping up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ck2718 Neutral Newbie November 17, 2006 Share November 17, 2006 Motul 300V (the new double ester formulation) retails for $30 per litre. I can get it at a lower price. However, my minimum order is a carton of 12 2-litre cans (of the same viscosity). Let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the motul package is almost 20 to 40% more than OWS in term of pricing.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upguy1 Clutched November 17, 2006 Share November 17, 2006 i been to this ws b4.... i asked him bout the engine oil packages and whether we can bring in own oil for servicing...he prefers using his own oil.. even advised me against using oil like caarluube and RP ..reason given was they are semi synthetic..so not good.... . didnt go to the ws again since..

Tbgben09 Neutral Newbie November 17, 2006 Share November 17, 2006 If not how to make money if you use your own oil.... kinda ex the motul h-tech 100 is 85 for 1 bottle dun noe how much he make.... find him a leetle arrogant too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accordvtec 1st Gear November 17, 2006 Share November 17, 2006 thx! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weixiang_06 Clutched November 18, 2006 Author Share November 18, 2006 mmz... well... but his workshop has Mobil 1 Gold 0w40 and 5w50.. these are branded premium oils too.. where if you buy outside, will cost you a real bomb (that is to say if you buy from petrol kisoks) though we can get it from other sources at a cheaper price... but caarluube is really a CMI oil according to the feedback and response of so many MCF forumers.... well.. for the workshop, its founded by his father.. i think... but then you must speak to the right mechanic.. the younger guy... called Nigel, its his son... he provides good service and quality worksmanship.. $100 servicing, where to find... Tyre rotation + balancing easily cost you $15 outside... Original oil filter about $10.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weixiang_06 Clutched November 18, 2006 Author Share November 18, 2006 well, did you speak to the right person? in the workshop sometimes, nigel is not around... there is his dad around, along with another person.. make sure u speak to nigel, call his handphone.. he is a nice person... mmz... apparently if you dun take up his servicing package, obviously his oil would be expensive, or else you can't really expect him to earn nothing right? $100 servicing.. where to find?? GST is absorbed too... mmz.. considering we have a markup of 7% gst next year.... if outside, $100 needs a topup of $7 gst do give Huat Lee a try.. call nigel directly... i have listed his workshop and his hp in pg 2... i went there in oct and returned as satisfied customers.. In VOGS, the Huat Lee Motul Oil thread has grown to 26 pages.. with lots of brothers going for him.. dumping their previous oil like Mobil 1 Gold (his workshop also has them and its the same $100 servicing packge price), all returned very satisfied and happy... including me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weixiang_06 Clutched November 18, 2006 Author Share November 18, 2006 no problem... meanwhile you can register at VOGS, and click on the URL i have provided.. it will show u the thread which has grown to 26 pages.. lots of reviews and people went for it... all happy customers.. including me..

Weng Neutral Newbie November 18, 2006 Share November 18, 2006 so can someone go and do a uoa for this h-tech? "reviews" doesn't mean much if it's just based on vibration, noise.............. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
