Latio Auto Transmission Oil (every 40k km?)

[iagree]

Hi guys

My car agent advised not to service my car in TCM with a few reasons... (not cover in this thread yet)

And, also said that every 40k km, must drain out & renew the transmission oil?

I always sign up for NPMP from TCM @ Bkt Timah. Mileage is now 113k km ^_^

Any advise?

Thanks.

Your iagree.

last time my NPMP i am quite satisfied, but heard that they are more 'stingy' nowadays.
examples, only change brake pads only if it is lesser than a certain diameter whereas last time, they will change for me at the major servicing. last time cvt oil change is 60k, now TCM only change it at 100k.

disclaimer, i only heard, not sure true or not.

actaully, during NPMP, you still can request them to replace your At oil every 40k, but i believe must pay topup.

[iagree]

hi dsrio

i see. good info.

yes, i think can req for "topup", if we are under NPMP, for topup of at oil shld be foc? unless it's for drained out & "renewed" a new one (this is covered under my npmp intake at 60k km.

the agent said our latio AT oil must be chg at every 40k km, bcoz it's to take care of the "errr, dont know which part, i think is the gear? as it cost few K to be replaced if it is not well taken care of!"

i also noticed TCM only chg my Front Brake Pad only (2 times so far in the past 4yrs, i signed up 2 times NPMP and had just finished the last intake at 103k km 3mths ago). Always front brake pad nia? true?

and during 103k km servicing, they advised me to chg the tyres, i let them chg the tyres at S$80+ per piece, their donno what tyres, i dont feel good abt it... what's the name...hmmm... let me think.... Falcon????

[iagree]

hi guys

i check nissan website. their latest NPMP pricing has revised (upwards)!! more expensive... by abt 10% more..

sorry, i mean 'topup' is to pay for the changing of at/cvt oil at TCM, i am not sure about topping up foc for oil.

the changing of gear oil is to take care of our gearbox.

i changed front brake pad and rear shoes during NPMP at 40k servicing.
recently at 90k, i changed front brake pad, mechanic says rear shoes still okay.(outside workshop)

as for tyres, you can change outside if you like, some of the commercial sponsors price quite competitive.

hi dsrio

good info. thanks.

AT oil is the CVT oil u mentioned? that's meant for Gear oil right?

rear shoes? how come TCM never mentioned before? or i didnt' notice they did change for me or they are using different naming for the items, need to check.

yours is 90k now? how many years u use ur car as of now?

regards

[dsrio]

if your latio is AT, then At oil lor, if CVT is CVT oil.

my latio just past 5 years birthday last month 

[iagree]

Oh.
5 years 90km? Heavy oh!

Mine 4years 2 mths, 113k now! How!!?

High usage

[iagree]

Ur usage is about 18k per year.
Mine is about 28k per year.

U do sales?

[dsrio]

nope, i travel less than 20k per year, that is consider lesser than average liao.

[iagree]

nope, i travel less than 20k per year, that is consider lesser than average liao.

ic.
like that consider average liao ah?
so my usage leh? consider high?
4years 2 mths, mileage 113k km leh, my agent said is very high. even if wanna to sell, the car dealers also dont want to quote a price because they are worrying that after they "eat" the used car and they have to HUG it for a long time & cannot sell it off asap! he said usually a used car buyers r worry abt d wear & tear mah depends / see the mileage.

what kind of logic leh?

he said a 60k to 80k km mileage usage kind of car, car dealers can easily quote about S$40k oh... 4yrs ago, we bought the car at S$50k+ (including COE).... now a new Latio cost almost S$100k (include COE).
2nd car value (if we want to sell), it's abt S$40k (if the mileage is abt 60k to 80k oh? ) how to calculate, am blur, so that's y i asked the agent but i gotten that kind of "mileage" & "car dealers dun quote a price" concerns... haha...! LUAN!!!!!

[robtan99]

They talk so much about wear and tear and no price quote.  If u say sell them at 25K now, immediately they took it and sell to other for $35K

u r damn right!!!
ya, if i sell to them at 40k, they r talking this n that...
if sell to them at 25k, they surely nothing to say, will just take it immediately.
terrible leh...
can we sell car without thru dealer?

[iagree]

the agent told me dun go to TCM for servicing.
and said, must chg Auto Transmission Oil in every 40k km leh.. but my TCM record shown that TCM only drained and renew transmission oil. he told me must inform the workshop guy to prepare for "original nission AT / cvt oil" in advance becoz they must buy from Nissan. must use Original ATOil

TCM record show this : 55407 km
**CARRY OUT 60,000KM SERVICE (UNDER NPMP PROGRAM) USE 100% FASFLO SYNTHETIC OIL

DRAIN AND RENEW TRANSMISSION OIL (INCLUSIVE IN SERVICE PACKAGE)

don't worry, TCM is using original CVT/AT oil, cause if they don't, i also really don't know what to say.

fastflo synthetic oil is the engine oil, not CVT/AT oil.

drain and renew transmission oil is the same as change transmission oil, unless you are taking about flushing of transmission oil which are of course more costly.

Yes.  You can sell thru Sgcarmart. When you roughly knows the price of the car ard the same time period as yours, that will give you a rough estimate of how much you can sell w/o a dealer. Since you have been doing your servicing @ TCM, you can produce the service records to the potential buyer to show that your car has been serviced regularly and isn't a lemon.

I'm not sure exactly why your agent tells you not to service yr car at TCM. There are pros and cons of it. Cons is that TCM charges are higher than outside workshops. Pros is that you have a clear service record, and its traceable. This makes it hard for the dealers to tamper your car's mileage and then sell it.

TCM is really expensive, Just back from servicing for 50K, supply own Redline oil. Damaged $117 inclusive changed filter, labour and GST.
Of coz plus free drinks.

Outside can easily under $100.
