how much to do wheel balancing? what if i delay in doing it?will my car have problem?
If you're within 1K mileage, then can go do it FOC at SC. After 1K, better do it outside. Abt RM5 per wheel. If 4 wheel, max RM20.
No need to tell SC and no warranty void coz wheel mana ada warranty wan. Wear and tear. Delay should not be a problem, might wear a bit on tyre tread evenness but if try not to delay too long.

no lah.. oil filter can last 15k.. of not die loh when u service ur car using fully sync oil..
Actually our oil filters (in fact most if not all small and mid-size sedan oil filters) can last abt 5K mileage only. This is based on our severe driving conditions that occur naturally in our weather (dusty, hot, humid, city drive, etc). Most mid-size and small sedan oil filters are downsized filters. It can only last 5K. Of course a new engine with little or no wear should be able to last 10K mileage on oil filter but for how long is it consider new under how dusty and hot weather.
Based on this site
http://autos.yahoo.com/owning/maintain/rep...bric%01qaengoil"If you wait too long to change the filter, there's a danger that it might become plugged. To prevent this from causing a catastrophic engine failure due to loss of lubrication, oil filters have a built-in safety device called a "bypass valve." When the pressure drop across the filter exceeds a predetermined value (which varies depending on the engine application), the bypass valve opens so oil can continue to flow to the engine. But this allows unfiltered oil to enter the engine. Any contaminants that find their way into the crankcase will be pumped through the engine and accelerate wear."
So in conclusion, you can still use your filter way pass its limit......after a couple of years, can change new CPS engine mah..
Then if you say, how come those expensive car can go 10K to 20K only change filter. Well, their oil filters are definitely graded higher and bigger than ours and most small sedan. Not all oil filters are built the same size and quality.
