so far i never did any major service on my myvi, will do my major service at 60k km soon...
anyway, here the previous / current experiences to maintain myvi by my own efforts after 3rd service...

1. Engine Oil (Semi Syn API SM 4L)
I using eneos 5w-30, just RM105...

2. Element S/A (Oil Filter)
Can get it RM8 from spare part shop only...

3. Air Filter
RM15 OEM air filter from spare part shop

4. Transmission Oil GL-4 80W (2.20L)
I using motul fully syn RM130, can last 100k km

5. Spark Plug (D55D) (4 pcs)
I using iridium spark plug RM170, can last 100k km
assumed every 30k km have to change spark plug, rather go for iridium instead...

6. Radiator Coolant (2 bottles)
I will change it at 60k km, toyota coolant 2 litre Rm20 only

7. Gasket Drain Plug
No need change, highly believe SC wont change it too...

8. Brake Fluid (2 bottles)
i never add any brake fluid since the day i got my myvi, going for major service 60k km and do bleeding...

9. Battery Water
Buy outside RM1 per bottle

10.Labour Charge
I DIY change engine oil and oil filter by my own efforts...  tongue.gif

11.Labour Charge for Replace Radiator Coolant
Can DIY...

12.Labour for Brake Bleeding System

gkl83, you say the gasket drain plug dont have to change. but i see myvi is always charging me for the drain plug in the first 3 services.

i think i can opt not to have it changed, cant i ?

RM400 would be the roughly price for a major service

i dn't know abt p2
but some p1 SC allows u to bring your own engine oil
only engine oil


Added on July 17, 2011, 6:48 pm
the truth is...they didn't change
they just reuse it back
why didn't change...becuz the drain plug is stainless steel...it can be reuse countless time
but they still charge us for it
well...apparently no one complain be4

yeah i think they are marking the gasket drain plug. if they see that theres inconsistency with that marking then know that you have serviced your car outside and void your warranty.

thats why they change it every time. thats just what i think.
