hi there..

i'm new owner of forte (clear white) and need to do 1st service..
anybody has been to kia red cube PJ for servicing? is it OK?

For the basic first service, i believe send your car to any Nazakia SC will do. For a fast service, appointment are recommended. If u got any complaints regarding your car, better go to SC on normal weekdays (Monday-Friday). They usually cannot entertain any complaints (especially the complicated one) on Saturday due to so many customers on that day & also time constraint (working half day).

hahaha... lupa laaa... nama dekat2 sama... caltex castrol...
if thicker, engine will be more heavier although fully syn ?

Ya,in fact thicker oil provide better protection to the engine,normally older car will b recommended.
Moreover, thicker oil will give heavier throttle response,but this caltex oil did not.
I feel better than petronas.

I don't think they were wrong. What you have in your car right now is a fully synthetic ATF compared to the mineral stuff that was in your car from the factory. Did you complain about anything relating to your gearbox? Hard shifting? Bad FC? Fully synth ATF will take care of your GB better than mineral.

Maybe it's a new directive from the new mngmt at Naza Kia to protect themselves from premature GB failures. Good for us also la, but bad because we are paying for it lol...

I believe the same thing..it's the fully syn ATF instead of a normal mineral oil ATF..that will justify the higher price. For a heavy footed or a racing kaki that always shifting & revving to the max, it's worth to use this fully syn ATF to protect your GB..but for an uncle-like driver like myself or for a normal daily driving, using the recommended SPIII mineral ATF will do..no harm done

ok since they change to full syn ATF, so how about the auto trans fluid replacement interval ? still every 40k km ?
should be more higher (ie : 60k km)... or double it up to 80k km ?

I was just talking to an SC (USJ 19) and she said that for the 6-sp model they use the fully synth ATF, every 40,000km intervals. Recommendation from HQ. She is charging RM7x per bottle.
