anyone here using k&n air filter for your i10?  how is it?

owhh, how many KMs you've done on the K&N in your i10??  any fuss with the SC ppl when you regular service?

how much did u pay for maintenance service at sc?

higher than myvi?

planning to get one for my wife, price similar to myvi, but need to consider maintenance service charge

Do you have their scheduled promotion period?

Eh really..? I just went to service my i10 for 40k, major one. 20k and 40k are both major service, both costing more or less 500-600. If you get quoted for 800, be careful as the service dealer might be adding optional/recommended things up without informing you, so do check properly.

For a complete list of items for service and maintenance, you can check here (may not be up to date but useful):



Btw go for service on wednesdays, I notice quite a few service centers offering free labor on wednesday.

Owh yea kan, I remembered 40k also change spark plugs etc.

Btw I've read some.. err a lot of negative stuffs on i10 owners club on FB. I dunno if it's just me or they're just expecting too much from their cars    Also lots of owners claiming SC charging way too much than necessary. There's this one person who paid RM1200 for a major service alone.

Anyway Lacus may I know if I change to spark plugs to iridium, would it void warranty? I don't plan to DIY, would probably ask authorized SC to do that. I'm also interested with K&N filter but dunno if it's worth it in the long run for the car.. It does seem worth the money though since no need to change filter anymore 

Yup the spark plug's non-standard. Stock model for i10 1.25 (facelift 2011>) is Champion RER8YC. I did some researching &  found some probable replacements: Denso iridium IXUH22i / VXUH22, NGK PLKR7A. No confirmation until I try first, also dunno about the gapping etc.. Owh ok haha so the FB page is normal that way.

Did you bought your K&N filter here on LYN? I got few quotes, quite pricey, probably since not easy to get here. Have you tried cleaning the filter..? I've been reading comments that cleaning up is really troublesome unlike K&N's claim that it's simple

Mine had a loud rattle from the engine bay. Upon inspection, i found that the original air filter box was kinda crappy because the metal clip securing the air filter was loose allowing the cover to rattle. I've got a CDA styled air filter lying  around my house (previously from my old waja). So I i removed the i10 original air filter and replaced it with the CDA filter... problem solved and no more noisy i10. As a bonus, i get better acceleration and fuel economy.
