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 think i kenna "ke-tok" by TCM..they charged me $82 instead of $74 for their in-house
synthetic oil during my 10K servicing

Should be $74 leh (inclusive of GST).  I still have the "bill" with me.  (TCM charged me the EO and I told them of the CNY promotion and they said "Sorry, mistake.  You don't need to pay.")  Unless TCM has increased the price now.  My price was about month ago leh.  In fact, at that time, I planned to get my own EO if I have to top up.  Many forumers feel that getting own EO is better than use the one from TCM.

What is new here?  The price of newspapers on 30 Sept and 1 Oct also different.  In terms of percentage, the increase is more than 10%.

So you only paid $74. But Bro Jo_lee may be using Shogun.

That is possible.  (Actually I got it FOC as this is part of the CNY promotion package which comes with free servicing of up to 20K km, inclusive of synthetic EO.)

Hi Bro,  I have not tried REV 1 so cannot comment.  But fasflo is giving me worse FC than even mineral EO, and I don't find it that smooth.  Thought it should be better FC than mineral EO leh.  Dunno what's wrong.  Is it EO or my car?  Sigh.

hmm then overall>> even though fastflo is FREE during servicing, i think it is still better to top up to shogun or Armsoil or Redline EO.

At least spend money on EO, hoping that the FC can be better ==> save petrol $$ for the next 10000km.

is redline EO better than Armsoil?
