i'm thinking whether to change to semi-syn oil when i send the car for 2nd service. not really heavy user of the car. quite hard to reach 10k km in 6 months

is semi-syn package available? roughly how much?

yes it's wired, will show the picture soon.

3.8 but they never give back the remaining..

heard 2.0 need to topup more.. overall 4 L something.. any 2.0 owners can clarify?

If Petronas Fully syn so xpensive,I'd rather use Mobil 1 in future.
From mobil website, Mobil 1 (5W30) is available, must check it up & shall be suitable for forte use.

Dont know exactly how many litres of engine oil needed for the 2.0. But during my first service on April 19th, i also asked for the remaining oil (of course with the bottle) if any. But the service officer there said no remaining oil for the 2.0 Forte. So i assumed that Forte 2.0 uses all 4 litres of the engine oil (no extra engine oil added). & i can confirmed here that the price for my first service (Using Petronas Syntium 3000) was RM227 that time (same price as 1.6 Forte).

The main reason i asked for the bottle with the remaining engine oil is not because of the oil itself, but more on to make sure that they uses that oil. Just in case that the dealer service centre there wanna cheat me by using the cheapo mineral oil but charged me the fully synthetic price. But ended up with nothing to prove it since that there is no remaining oil at all, so no engine oil bottle given back .

Servicing Suria both in Melaka & Puchong, they never failed to return me the remaining of the engine oil and its bottle without me asking so.

Bro lee, I did 1k service with Semi-Syn oil for my 2.0 it cost me RM125.20 at Sg. Pinang SC.

Bro Taipan,

Could u find the maintenance details specifically for Forte 2.0? It would be really useful for us 2.0 users. The details on your pdf files are for 1.6 Forte only. But i think the details are more or less the same right?

heard the package for EX no longer come with BK and sport rims start from today?

any price change for 1.6SX?

reward from V jumping actions..tadaaaaa...
~ thanks MyForte

dudes
when will kia forte koup emerge in our markets?

That means very high possibilities price increased for Syntium 3000 & perhaps the oil filter as well..
In the bill clearly stated that Syntium3000 price RM255...walao..ooi
All black & white clearly stated, no way the SC can cheat us right?

Added on May 10, 2010, 5:29 pmNo idea of the availability of EX with BK.
But I still saw 2 units of show cars display at JB SC with BK...Bright Silver & Metal Bronze.
Sporty look, but paired with 15" rim with very thick tyre become weird...sigh
