guys wta smtg as my wife will b getting saga fl soon.
hw many KM interval svc for saga fl, 5000km or 10000km? as per svc manuals stated its 10000km however referring to this stated every 5000km.

u send ur car to sc at what interval, 5000km or 10000km?
let say if i were to send for every 10000km, which engine oil shud i opt for? fully synthetic? or does Petronas Mach5 (20w-50 SM) shud suffice for 10000km interval?

mind telling wat fully synth oil available at sc (damansara), Syntium 1000, 3000 etc...?

did any1 went to Center of Excellence Complex (Subang Jaya) to service ur BLM & do they allowed customer to bring own engine oil?

oic.
u happen to knw hw much CoSE charge for tyre rotation, balancing & alignment?

as per manual:
- engine oil
- oil filter
- spark plug
- perform tyre rotation

as per this (get ready to fork out RM526.34 ):
- engine oil
- oil filter
- drain plug gasket
- spark plug
- gear oil
- brake fluid
- air filter
- radiator coolant

at 1st tot of getting saga fl for my wife but after considering d total ownership cost (service/maintenance... etc), imho its not cheap so i cancelled saga fl purchase & getting other car instead. d best part is i already book d car & loan already approved, & tis morning called d salesperson to cancel. sure d fella bengang 1 .

anyw, this is what i gathered frm d service manuals, hope TS cud put it in d 1st post in order to keep this thread as informative as possible so that u guys cud plan ur budget for ur future intervals. cheerio...

actually, u cud opt for cheaper full syn RM180 (Syntium 1000) to minimise d cost . ya, probably ATF change @ 40k wud b 2 long however those r SC recommend & d 1 i listed above r minimum required. funny thing though, if i remember correctly, manuals stated minimum requirement for engine oil is "SAE 20W-50 Service SJ" which in this case, Petronas Mach 5 20W-50 SM wud b a suitable match & chances r this Mach5 cud last 10km (atleast dats wat stated in manuals). however, i dont think any SC wud recommend Mach5 for 10k intervals & i wonder y


i sensed theres a bit of hostility here... if u do, dont b k
anyw, u may say dat viva has cheap service/maintenance if u compare to blm & i cud'nt agree more.
iinm currently another cheap 1 is suzuki swift as they're having promotion 3yrs free service/maintenance (parts & labour).

oooh... i just realised dat u d TS. if u dun mind cud u update d 1st post & attach d service intervals info i posted above & d link dat claxxion provided. imho it cud make this thread a bit informative. dont u think so?..
