Ericongy 3rd Gear December 21, 2012 Share December 21, 2012 My previous AD workshop uses castrol edge which i am happy with (in fact it is the best i have used compared to idemitsu and voltonic) and the technician there are ok in attitude. what i dislike is they dun allow us to see what they do to our car and the pricing is on the high side for me. normal 10k servicing is abt $180-200. and my major servicing at 40k cost me >$600. my car is juz a stock japanese chao tee.... I have sort list a few ws which i may visit over the weekend and hope to stick to them for good. but i hope to get some feedback from you guys before i make the final decision.

Ericongy 3rd Gear December 21, 2012 Author Share December 21, 2012 No doubt 1st auto is a very reputable ws. But $198 for ows 5w-40 is a bit pricey for me. We can get a similar package for less den half that price in one of the was I mentioned above... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy83sg Clutched December 21, 2012 Share December 21, 2012 Out of the few workshop u mentioned, i patronised E-Rev for changing parts/ major servicing only. I use their Redline package.

Club21z 4th Gear December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 Serviced before at providence motor when i saw their ad on here for OWS servicing. $88 for OWS + 4 x OWS copper plugs ($25) + wiper ($25). comes with ows air con clean, simply insert the tube into the air con duct for "cleaning" plus car wash n vacuum. Comes with GST too. Nothing to shout about, discovered that my EO was leaking after awhile, went to WS to check and found drain plug not tighten. Nv went back again.

I-love-singapore December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 c-----e $27 in ntuc or giant. $5 oil filter from indurties park hard ware shop go jb servicing rm20 rotate tyres rm12 b & b cars, use what oil i also cant feel any diff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy83sg Clutched December 23, 2012 Share December 23, 2012 So how is the redline EO? I quite like redline since it is very smooth n responsive. Many drivers mentioned that the oil breakdown between 7 ~ 8k. But I drain it at 9K n I dun feel it that way. Perhaps it is my gradual accelerator stepping habit. Im going back for redline for my next servicing. For me i tried b4 amsoil asl 5w30, schaeffer 9003 5w30 and redline 5w30. Currently stock up to try royal purple 5w30 in next next servicing.
