Sent a car for its 1st service, these the details...

- car came with free labor for the 1st service

- 1st service either reached 1000 km or 1 month, whichever earlier

- failing to follow maintenance schedule would void the warranty on the car

- 1st service entails only checking engine oil, washer fluid, tyre pressure, etc.

- no oil change involved as engines nowadays only change engine oil after 10,000 km and oil filter after 20,000 km

- have made a prior appointment before hand.

- still need to wait after taking a queue ticket before being called to the counter to inform them why you are there and hand them the car key.

- after that, wait about another 30 minutes before you noticed the car driven inside into the service bays.

- overall, waited about 1 hour plus just for the service guy to complete the inspection. (There's no engine oil or oil filter replacement.)

Hello Honda,

Give free service for what?

first 1000km where got change oil yet loh

1st 1000km no oil change... that's the gist of post why the 1st sevice is just a waste of time.

Only char chiew youngsters wouldn't know how to top washer fluid or check tyre pressure.

Also the battery is maintenance free type nowadays, no need to check and add battery water.

TS ,baru tau? 1st service always no engine oil change

If 1k mileage service is bulshit, then don't buy Honda.

Buy something else that doesn't come with 1k service requirement.

Your money...

only know complaint.,. dare u go outside of official SC n service lo.,tiuu

Which car don't have to do 1000km service? Toyota?

izit oni Honda or what? my trollyota 1st 1k service got change oil

Only you.

Engine break-in, not even stated in the manual book anymore unlike 20-30 years ago.

wait till u go Toyota service,..

They don’t do this anymore. Not perodua or Toyota or Honda. The engine tolerances are so tight now that the “mineral oil to catch metal shavings” is a bygone era story from decades ago. Engine break in is achieved at the factory thru better honing during the manufacturing stage that “sets” the grooves and wear pattern for the cylinders.

The 1k service check is just a formality/plugging on computer to do system check.

Don't follow later cannot change steering rack

hello!

1st engine oil change is crucial!
mostly it is mineral oil to let the engine run in properly for 1st 1k km.
do not skip.

crucial checking
engine break in 1000km
'clear the oil and filter from the small metal pieces accumulated'

Is it even necessary? You driving the car everyday, you would  notice anything that is not right, no?

But then again, people been known to drive with flat tyre...

Yes, it is necessary lo. Or u wan to count solely on your lucky stars?
