For normal service, my 308T costs me around RM400 ~ RM500 per service. For every 10,000KM or 6 months. Should I be shocked?

Major service, which is at 60,000KM, costs me around RM1,400 though  biggrin.gif

Sure you should be shocked..... that's more then the cost of a 350z's regular service laugh.gif

-Edited. Removed the comparison table since it's not details enough.

Now, I'm using Petronas. But before this, I used AMSOil SSO and Total Quartz INEO. The latter is more expansive, RM300 for 5L. AMSOil is around RM250. Personally, I think AMSOil SSO is the best but since Peugeot SC no longer allows me to bring my own oil, I've to use Petronas (or Total).

I have used Total INEO ECS 5w-30, but it's pretty expensive at RM300++ per bottle of 5L..I switched over to AMSOIL SSO 5w-30 at around RM250 for 5 bottles (5 quarts) and performance is about the same..since my car's warranty is over, I will stick to AMSOIL

Ya I said for "normal household usage in malaysia" thats about majority of the ppls' need fulfill....at least far more than how much vote coalition could get in the last few PRU so I think 99% still extraordinarily high. then why does Jay still wants to argue about the 1% toyota does better than hontas
Logically speaking, you buy car that fits your purpose. means if you live plantation, rough terrain, harsh road condition , u buy 4WD, pickups, that fits the purpose not sedan car. U don't buy sedan car n goto field and complain of why is it breaking down prematurely.

Industrial area? So u live in one? why don't u just straightaway buy range rover...or Cygnus or Toyota Vigo . those r meant for 'harsh condition' you mentioned.

Besides, just that hontas rarely specialised in 4WD ,pickups and the likes and you are arguing toyota over hontas in a segment they r not particularly strong in and the forte of the toyotas? I think unfair comparison in THAT sense. Actually i for one, do live in an industrial area... but only 4 years, n the roads r REMOTELY flat (edit: and I counted there r about 10 big yellow bumps I've to drive thru , that's about 20 both ways if I go out. I do go out about twice a day.... u do the maths, alot of turnings into my house also, leftrightx5, few roundabouts. SRSLY I hate where i'm living now.) The 9yo honda city is ok with it....and TBH, I do think Msia roads are generally not of good condition but majority of hontas is ok....what do you expect? A gravel road in the whole of msia only u satisfied to say hontas car r OK? lol

I didn't even argue about hontas r more reliable than toyota but merely refute your claims of hontas r not reliable *in a fair level n logic discussion* i.e. nobody gonna drive a honda city around in plantation or pick the wrong car for the right job. There is a reason why sabah has one of the highest 4WD , pickups around in msia....3or 4  out of 10 cars on the road r pickups, 4wd n the likes because of the whole sabah is very unfriendly roads....ppl pick the right car for the right task ok. Hontas more specialised for city use n others that i didnt mentioned

Edit: and SRSLY , ppl less prefer korean cars in sabah, IDK why....so what if reliable. so far T,H,N are doing well here n still relatively reliable even if not as realiable as a Koreans....u think ppl stupiak not buy korean because they r more reliable. and there is alot more than just about reliability when the overall owning a car experience that sadly include RV as well but not the largely of it. and the korean didnt provide the holistic benefit in that sense

You think our road condition is nice? Living in city, ofcourse going for cars for lower FC. Unless it's a diesel powered & with higher budget, can go for SUV. Bad road condition and under hot & humid weather, best is go for cars that are reliable & durable that won't wear & tear early. Also, car price expensive, have to get cars with reasonable maintenance and would last for over 10 years as we are tied to long term loan.

Range Rover is rich man's ride. If I can get that, I would have more choices to go with that budget. Use your brain next time. You are talking about less than RM100k cars here.

Sabah & Sarawak terrain are more practical to drive 4WD pickups and SUVs. You want to drive Honta in Sabah, up to you, might get you into more maintenance headache. N-brand, ever since they switch to CVT gearbox, they are now rejected by countries with harsh conditions. As for Korean made, those existing management don't know much about their products, do you think they know how to market their products? That is why Korean brands didn't do well in Sabah.

FYI, Korean brands have proven reliability & durability. Their RV has improved in models launched from 2010 onwards and the newer models are getting closer to Toyota & Honda RV. Your stupid mentality no longer works.

Oh my God! If I'm supposed to be shocked, I'm wandering what will happen to some people after seeing this comparison table  biggrin.gif
Not a fair comparison.

SHould all use same oil to compare, ie mineral/semi/ oo fully.

Anyway, my regular service was below 450 with 6 liters of fully whistling.gif

Oh. My bad. I apologize for the unfair comparison. To avoid from future misleading information, I'd removed the table.

However, I think it's not too shocking to pay around RM50 more than other cars for every 10,000KM or 6 months for maintenance fees. But it really shocks me that 350z regular maintenance is cheap! Lol.
