Genie47 1st Gear March 3, 2005 Share March 3, 2005 SHU 5W40 is rated MB229.3. If you like long drains up to 15k km, get it. If you use 10k OCIs, a bit of a waste. RP can go as far as 12k km. Your call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topgun7557 Neutral Newbie March 7, 2005 Share March 7, 2005 Just sent my optra for 1K servicing and it cost only S$42.53 Mobil Mineral Washer Filter Botak, from your post, it seems taht for 5 k and 10 k interval, you're using the same Mobil Super-S. care to explain. I thought mineral oil sould be changed every 5 k while synthetic every 10k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDon 1st Gear March 8, 2005 Share March 8, 2005 Chevy Broz, care to advise how much did you spent on your 20K servicing? It was supposed to be @ S$ 192.60 based on the service calendar printed during purchase of vehicle. Just learnt from SA that they had recently revised to S$262.?? for 20K servicing. In addition, rotation of tyre @ S$ 30.00 and changing of some stuff about the air-conditional another S$ 150.00+ Note on one of those pages in the service handbook, if you choose not to change that air-condition stuff, SA had right to void warranty of your air-con system. (after at the SA service center, was later advise that they will not void air-condition warranty should you choose not to do the change VERBALLY) Estimated with G.S.T. to be approximately S$ 450++++ BTW, Full Syn Oil at S$ 84.00. Should I make my own purchase outside? No, I had decided to pend my 20K serivce at this point of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wykh Neutral Newbie March 8, 2005 Share March 8, 2005 Actually, you can ask them not to change the wipers and pass the new wipers to you. You can then keep it and change when you feel the originals starts to kaput. That is what I did during my 20,000km for my Nissan Primera P12. They are original Nissan wipers, worth at least S$28 if you have to buy from the stockists. Actually, TC's svc cost is OK, have you look at BM, KM and C&C's svc cost?

Genie47 1st Gear March 9, 2005 Share March 9, 2005 GM parts mah! Everywhere because so many cars from GM. From USA to Europe. All share the same stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbx750p 1st Gear March 9, 2005 Share March 9, 2005 So ? You got a problem with that ? GM Parts or Toyota Parts, as long as it good, cheap and affordable, who's complaining ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear March 10, 2005 Share March 10, 2005 GM parts are plentiful because the platform for most of the GM cars are shared which explains the "boringness" of GM. I see VAG cars going the same way too. Economy of scale. You can't get cheap and affordable AND quality if you don't have economy of scale. With this, I think Opel owners will take advantage of the $4.50 oil filter from Chevies. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
