I got my ride during the CNY promotion which includes free servicing up to 20K km, including EO. Hence, the 10K free servicing using synthetic oil is from TCM foc. Was told by TCM staff that if not during the promotion period and did not get the NPMP promotion package, have to top-up $74 to use its in-house synthetic oil. Otherwise, TCM will use mineral oil for the third free servicing (i.e. 10K servicing).

I hope you got the right rating for the EO.

My 10K km free servicing includes synthetic oil from TCM foc. I asked the technician is it w30, he said not sure then he asked his colleague. His colleague said w40. Is w40 worse than mineral EO for FC?

It normal, your ECU need time to get use to different grade of EO used. No worry it will improve. ;)

Hi Jazz,
From your experience, roughly how many tanks then the FC will improve?

When I asked the technician to use my own Amsoil engine oil, he told me no refund. The mystery part is he said if using own engine oil, the next service interval will be 5k instead of 10k which is standard for synthetic oil.
I'm really puzzled about the statement: service interval will be 5k if using own engine oil. Anyone here have been told the same thing?
In the end i kept my Amsoil oil and used their Fasflo oil.

Hi .. dont let them BS you. Sure cheaper if use own Engine Oil. So far .. I go Autoclinic at Lok Yang and I didnt get these type of crap from them. But I do encounter stuff like sign for disclaimer and etc if use own engine oil in BT Tan Chong. Not too sure about the other.
Thats why I typical service at Autoclinic, and they still put 10K interval. I use to use W40 (Mobil 1 Gold) at average at 11 to 12 km/l (due to heavier foot) ... recent one change to Amsoil W30 for lower cost reason (Brought from MX Trading). Still average around there.... Amsoil do give me better reponse as compare to W40...
