HM mentioned must follow their predefined service intervals in order for the car warranty to be valid. just wonder how much extra km we can drag extra before they consider as voiding warranty, 1k? My first service was done at 2k instead of 1k as i had drove the car outstation to kedah right after collection. i am going to hit 5k and due for first service about 3 weeks from the day i collected the car. looks like i need to service the car about once a month if follow the 5k interval.
i used to use fully synthetic oil in my previous car and service every 10k. i do not think HM will honour the warranty if i do the same. anyway, will try to ask the SC when i go there for the 5k service soon.
i think depends on which sc u go. for me i did my 3rd service two weeks (at least more than 10 days after exact 6 mths), when i called them up to make the appt, i told them i got no time so can only go at that time, the lady who answered call said need to check with the service dept for approval and called me back on the outcome. Obviously it has no problem for me to get it approved

I think the first three services due to the fact they are FREE. so the sc maybe stricter on this. After that, i believe, if you drag a bit should be ok.

ok, i scratched the whole of my car today because i sent my car for a snow car wash. man, the swirling and line marks are obvious. what kind of cloth are they using, abbrasive?? may i know how can i eliminate the scratches? any certain products, or do i need to polish my car??? its only 2 months old.
can try this

if the scratch is not deep, use this definitely can remove. I had tried this product before and still owned it.
but since your whole car was scratched now, it will be easier to do polishing instead. but probably you can wait for few more mths before you do it.
seriously for my last car i did do the snow wash outside, i would say i will nvr go back for my insight. although snow wash is fast and clean. but u can easily see the spider web scratch (not obvious, but when step closer to the car under sun, you can definitely see them).
my insight going to 7 mths already. car paint is still new and no major scratches. self wash once per two weeks.
