Any 1 knows any workshop at Yishun that change oil n oil filter for 20$ ?

I have my own oil and oil filter. Thanks.

i dunno about yishun, but i just came back from the caltex workshop at whitley road. got the advertisement  from gumtree,... $25  to change engine oil and filter ( bring your own). 

 

i too lazy to go buy filter so just ask if i use my own engine oil but use their filter so how much? that guy say  $25..hummm....okay ley.

 

anyway it is just a corner space manned by an old guy and young chap, no fancy hydraulic jack....he use the big hand crank type jack to lift my car to change filter. overall i find they are nice, the young guy after changing engine oil and filter also take out air filter to clean, check tire pressure, check battery charge and top up water/fluids etc.

You can read your owner's manual or google online.

 

Alternatively, 5W-40 confirm can use for any B&B car out there.

Sale at Giant Turf City till 14 July. The Mobil 1 Gold is a very good deal. Just snapped up 3 bottles. Date of manufacture - June 2015

Mobil One "gold" 0W-40 is a little different from the 0W-40 in non gold bottle?  Some say the gold is smoother but when I compared last tum, all the description and info is sama sama.

 

I always ask this question.

thanks bro! shall try this mobil 1 gold out.

Actually Giant special promotion are only slightly cheaper compared to mxtradings regular pricing, their Shell Helix Ultra regular prices cost only $50/5L while Mobil 0w40 $56/4L and Castrol Edge 0w40 $55/5L. So not much difference.

 

Anyway my car doesn't like thick 40 oil and i only go for 5w30. Since their price are reasonable, i usually buy all my oil, K&N oil filter, duragloss detergent/aquawax and my favorite Redline SI-1 injector cleaner together when servicing due. Save the effort from sourcing around, just buy all at once.

any bros tried the Pennzoil 550038320 Ultra Platinum 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil - 5 Quart Jug ?

planning to use on FD2

[Ake109]

I think using the 'short of top end' oil (e.g. those $40 for 4 litre Shell helix Ultra from supermarket) but changing oil a bit more frequently, is probably better for the engine then putting the very best oil you can buy.

[Gnahp]

my previous car and current car use supermarket engine oil as soon as they are out of warranty.

 

combined supermarket engine oil mileage of the two cars is around 250,000km, so far so good.

Yeap, I keep buying that, as long as it can ship.

Sometimes Amazon will not allow it to ship, then it reverts, ding dong, ding dong.

 

Other times, I'd buy the Shell from Giant Tampines, whenever they are on sale.
