I signed up my NPMP package during my 3rd free servicing, i.e. start from 20k km...

For NPMP package, you actualy get 4 free servicing, at 20K, 30K, 40K and 50K km.

1K, 5K and 10K km servicing are free even if you do not take up NPMP package.

I am also considering NPMP package but what I don't like is the Superflo synthetic engine oil used by Tan Chong which I heard from many feedback, that it is not so good.

Anyone knows where this Tan Chong in-house brand Superflo engine oil comes from?

For our initial 3 free servicing, they are just using mineral oil only. We have to pay if using synthetic oil, nothing is free.  :smile:

No comment as I have not used FastFlo or Shogun oil before. But Shogun is not cheap.  :smile:

Can bring own oil... but no point. For first 2 servicing, stick to mineral oil because engine still running in and the oil have to be changed regularly. For 3rd servicing, can bring ouwn synthetic to extend interval to 10,000 km. :thumbsup:

TCM's NPMP Package is worth it  :thumbsup:
But mine is OPC, so chose to opt out as I doubt can hit 50k in 2.5yrs.

mine non opc, but i use only during wk days...
8mths only slightly pass 10,000km...
despite i when up and down KL 2-3times since...
the duration of the NPMP package only 2days 40,000km...
i doubt it is worth for me to sign up too...
but i think it is a good package if u can clock 20,000km in one year...

3rd free servicing uses mineral oil, my advice is to use the synthetic oil either from TCM or bring along your own oil...can last for the next 10k km...if use mineral oil after 5k km need to change oil again...I was charged abt $70 for Shogun during my 3rd servicing... :ohmy:

Hi bro,

It all depends on individual regarding servicing at TCM or outside....For me, I did my servicing at TCM for the 3 years under warranty, easier to 'bang table' if anything spoils during this period...but I'm currently looking for outside mechanic which is reliable for my servicing on my 30k km onwards when warranty ends...cheaper to bring my own engine oil & service outside....juz my 2cents' worth... :cool2:
