My servicing experience today

(1/18) > >>

Carmodz:
hi again, was on leave today to prep my car for this saturday big event, (no its not MM2a)

Anyway, jus to share a few things.

I changed to Royal Purple 10w30 oil, changed my CVT NS-2 Oil, and changed my engine oil filter to Micro (Made in Japan). This engine oil filter supposedly has a filtration rate of 15microns.

anyway, important thing to note, the amount of cvt oil used is 5L. Unfortunately, each tin of CVT oil comes in a packaging of 4L (actual amt only 3.8L, yes...we measured...)

Lucky thing, elton came to my rescue. I had to buy another tin, and elton kept the rest. I made a mistake, i thought 40k change cvt oil, only after changing, elton took up the service package sheet and it says 60k km then change cvt oil...darn it...

Did my servicing at River View Auto Services, but they din have the cvt oil, but no worries, there's a shop on the 5th floor that sells. Look for Vincent, the boss, extremely friendly and reasonable chap.. Staff there are friendly and service is good.

RP is not bad man! car feels lighter, and slightly quieter too! But then again, i guess that happens everytime we change engine oil hor?? WRONG! When i changed to Synace w40, crap...car felt so heavy, my mineral oil was fairing much better!

I did my 20k servicing on Tuesday 17th at Autosaver Kaki Bukit. They did the same checks as TC's package B for 20k. Autosaver's full synthetic package cost $195 compare to TC's $299. All-in, I paid $185.89.

1. $45 discount for bringing own oil. By the way, I used Mobil-1 5W-30.
2. $10.50 discount (I think but not sure) for air filter not used because I am using the Hurricane SS filter.
3. Discount for wiper (can't remember how much) on top of 10% discount on the Twister silicon wipers I told them to change to.

Advantage at Autosaver:
1. Can watch them do everything if I wish (unlike at TC).
2. They replaced the air in all my tyres with nitrogen. I can go there to top up the nitrogen anytime.

Lobang:
Top-up $8 nia for Mobil Gold 0W-40 full synthetic oil. Unfortunately I brought my own oil. So, effectively Mobil Gold 0W-40 cost ($45 + $8) = $53 only at Autosaver. But don't know when this offer ends.

I will go to Autosaver again for my 30k servicing. I think it will only cost about $50 if I bring my own oil. No choice lah, I bought 7 bottles of the Mobil-1 5W-30 from Giant last time when they have promotion offer.

No, warranty will not void if the workshop follows TC's check list and no dismantling of any major components. They also used original Nissan oil filter. Basically it's the same servicing as you would get if you sent the car to TC. But you save $$$.
