i not means want to racist indian or insult mydelsol, impossible new tyre will kembang for nothing... for sure have some reasons they made the tyre kembang... my previous car tyre used 4 years no kembang at all until i cornering careless and banged it, rear wheel alignment also senget sweat.gif usually rear wheels not need to do alignment 1 for normal condition... so base on my experience the most of the reason is they trash the car and hit hole like nothing... so i not means want to insult indian...

base on my working experience and dealing with educated indians (uncle type and work as management level), well communication with them and everything also can discuss with them... they wont rude till like nothing...

but for sure bcos most of the indian giving me bad image...
like my neighbour hit dog everyday previously till the dog screaming, cant they treat it well? sweat.gif
even my house aquarium fish dead i will heart pain also... sad.gif
lorry driver rev their lorry like nothing like want to kiss my ass when slow traffic, cant they just drive slowly? sweat.gif
if they banged me, sure screw them 9 9... vmad.gif

hey guys, i want to ask you guys about the 4th service. i am on 15000KM+ now so tml i am going to service my car. do you know how much is the service for this 4th service gonna cost me?
*
RM119.45...
http://www.perodua.com.my/index.php?sectio...®ion=wm&id=8

totally not worth to service due to expensive engine oil and labour charges, u can get better engine oil from outside and DIY yourself at ur home...

hmm.. service outside and DIY at my home. it will void the engine warranty right? i don dare to do it lah bro. laugh.gif
*

but very rare that we will hear that engine will blow right? tongue.gif
if u received defect engine from p2 factory, for sure ur engine wont last more than 10k km...
unless u means unscrew other engine parts for sure is different story...

for me will drain the used engine oil from morning until evening... dont want mix with used oil and new oil... brows.gif
i more comfortable that DIY myself rather than let mechanic do, most probably will rush to fix ur car and give u poor workmanship if they plenty of work to do... last time p2 mechanic throw my air filter cover on floor in front me, WTF... made my air filter cover scratched doh.gif

wah. then you got blast that worker or not? erm.. frankly, i know that perodua charge everything expensive but what could i do then? i don know how to DIY myself. if i know sure i will do it myself. outside workshop i can even get cheaper price than perodua SC such as change the engine oil, i remember that time the outside workshop offer me rm 95 include labour charge to change the shell semi- syntetic engine oil which can go for 7000KM. laugh.gif
*

how to blast him? he did it oledi, next time dont visit there... treat my car like shit... doh.gif

the oil filter facing toward to floor, u lay on floor and move forward to engine underneath, can use hand to twist it easily...
later use spannar to unscrew a screw which located at engine sump or oil pan and drain it...
after drain then screw it back and pour engine oil... kao tim...
u can jack up ur car a little if u need more space...

i heard that shell engine not that good as expected, quite a lot of negative feedback on shell engine oil...
but i going to use eneos semi engine 5w-30 later... tongue.gif

hmm.. seems complicated for me as i am not a car guy or teachnical guy. laugh.gif

that time i am asking that worker in the workshop to service my kelisa. my kelisa is nearly 100000km already so no point go back to expensive perodua to service it. eneos semi engine oil? how much it cost?
*

RM95 from spare part shop... at Eneos selling RM120 if not mistaken...

u can stay learning from now... very easy jobs for u to do maintenance urself...
no engine parts involved and wont caused engine failure after u change oil...
just make sure tighten the screw...

while changing better oil or better parts wont do much different on our 1.3 Economic car.
*

actually in long term will have differences...

most of the engine oil used SM spec (new spec, 2004 onwards)... but p2 engine oil used SL spec (old spec, 2004-2001)... SM spec have better protection than SL spec and some of the SM spec engine oil classify as ILSAC (Energy Conserving)...

even the castrol GTX (mineral oil) used SM spec also... wondering y p2 using old spec? sweat.gif

eh. sorry for my bad english ah. sweat.gif erm.. what i mean is like this, because of my old kelisa, the battery cap is usually can be open by turning it by hand and pour the battery water inside but the myvi battery cap is different and it seems want to use screwdriver to open it and it cannot be open using hand right?
*

unless u have big nail to open it... laugh.gif
the only ways are use big philip screw driver or small metal ruler (with some round curve) to open the cap...

My 2 cents, how much can u save on the servicing anyway? P2 oil also not that expensive compared to outside.
*

actually the market price for p2 engine oil 4L is RM52++ (end user price)...
labour charges for basic service below RM10 at outside...
they earned Rm20+ from engine oil and charge RM25++ for labour only...
total earned RM50 from us just for 30-60minits service... it quite unreasonable for me sweat.gif
if i want to do major repair which required to dismantle engine parts during warranty period, i will going there...

u so bad luck..
actually battery terminal protector is good,prevent from snowing!!  brows.gif

ur myvi stock battery terminal snowing? sweat.gif
QUOTE(ceo684 @ Jan 3 2008, 01:47 AM)
SL or SM already overkill for the engine already.
*

most of engine oil manufacturer selling SM spec, we just can follow the trend...
i had a 20years+ old designed engine, used SM spec also... tat car stick to castrol GTX for its whole life... sweat.gif

..erm...worth to get back last yr stock?..

if i buy last yr stock..my geran there will show my car made in which yr?
*

depend on the car manufacture date on the geran...

if geran showing 2007, have the discount...
if geran showing 2008, dont have discount...

if u wont sell ur car within 10 years, it still worth for to get last year car...
car depreciate year by year around RM4k-5k for myvi (i think so)... so the discount RM3k is quite reasonable for a new year which may depreciate soon...
