My first service I paid 330 for fully synthetic eo, washers, wiper cleanser, 3 units trans oil, oil filter n so on.. After pay then realize that is expensive. No point to cry over split milk now.

Am going to do realignment although I just took my car yesterday. Car seems to go left when driving straight. SA said this is common and I can do FOC at naza Kia service centers but only the Selayang and Setapak ones. Quite far for me so I got a quote for RM30 at nearby tyre shop in Cheras. What is the rate?

wah, really that good? thinking of call him and change now, but night already...

3rd service = 20K KM?

should be Engine oil + Oil Filter + Air Filter only = rm2XX

some SC will recommend to change ATF oil which is not needed in the maintenance list.
ATF oil change at 40K, spark plug change at 30K

the problem is...i didn't service yet..hehe
yup...2nd service like bro taipan said...ATF oil only change at 40k service

Haha the Handling more stable lor..go over small bumps or holes no issue...not so sakit hati anymore..

gd! probably will get it soon, js now i try to search in lelong, and i sms them, they sell alot cheaper, should be DIY my self

front and rear using size B as well? i thought normally the rear 1 will be smaller.

Wahhh how much cheaper wor? Haha..Erm yeah front and rear use size B..the guy also brought C size but he look at my rear suspension and put the B..so I guess can be the same lo when he added the rear part he cut some of the buffer off..too long already..I think DIY would be quite a challenge hahaha

Wah, need to cut some more!! how can it be?!! surely i dont know how much i need to cut lar.. how if i buy size B for front, and size C for rear, is it ok?

rm 18 per box which contain 2 pcs, cod in cheras. i thought plan to get it today, but after taken sleep pill, but blurr right now, is vy vy blurr

How much is it to do re-alignment?

Xion,

20K KM change air filter. Since (maybe) your car is using simota/knn air filter, SC don't change for you.

lol....my engine bay, only moded VS+GC and Knight rider lights
other than those, all stock....

Hey guys what do you think of this?
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1660610
Too expensive or reasonable?

i serviced my car from Taiping Kia service center they use Caltex not Petronas!! anyway i think it should be about the same since both fully synthetic,....

price is slightly expensive than other forumers selling here, you might want to check out some other thread that sells LED DRL as well.

bro, from kulim? me too... maybe can go minum teh tarik with u and view your forte...
perhaps can learn a lot from you...
mine just standard white 1.6sx

My PCB :








Improve my handling+brakes respond, and not bumpy...but increase my car height by 3-5cm
so, stability unknown....try later when going to SP using HW
