Just cleared my 5K check... coming is 10K
« on: September 23, 2008, 09:40:42 AM »
Just cleared my 5000Km check yesterday...

Nothing has much .. just simple maintenance ..but at least i got my car back in 3 hours :yehyeh: :yehyeh:

Told them about my dropping visor for the front doors.. btu i hinted them to redo all the 4 visors hehe

end up, they REDO all my visors .. so now the 4 of them are sticking on nicely liao haha .. BEST thing is >> its FOC haha. I tot must pay one

Hmm  next check up is 10Km  check..... Is it classified as Free Servicing (like 1k, 5k check) or Maintenance Servicing?

Got difference??

What do i need to do or pay??

I know i am changing EO to Fully synthetic but... what is the cost and procedures???

Any one can advise me??

10K shd be free like 1k, 5k. Someppl might have more free servcing, so theirs would be extended.
Cost - Dunno,
Procedure - the SA will ask if you want to upgrade to Synthetic on the spot.

If you are not on NPMP, you need to top up $$$ for synthetic engine oil.

i'm on the NPMP prgramme... 3 free servicings + 4 more free servicing

So for my case, under the NPMP,  if they ask me to change to fully synthetic oil>> do i still need to pay for their inhouse brand - Shogun and Fastflo ???

The fasflo synthetic oil is included in the NPMP... but not too sure if it's included in the 10K servicing in your case as the 10k svc without free NPMP give only mineral oil as per the 1K and 5K servicing.

Since you are on NPMP, you do NOT have to pay for Fasflo synthetic oil for your 10K km oil change,but you have to top up a little $$$ for Shogun engine oil.

Unless you are going to redline often with spirited driving in your Latio, Fasflo should suffice.

To change EO to fasflo - its FREE

but to change to shogun - need to pay ... but HOW much to top up and what are the type available (w30, w40, etc etc)

how to see EO rating??

normally its 5w40 or 0w40  or just 0w30 )?>> the 1st 2 digits (5w or 0w) is what?? last 2 digit is for the viscosity (thick or thin - the bigger the number , the thick)
From the sticky thread,

5w40 is for good maintenance but how will it affect FC (improve or decrease FC)?
0w40 is for good FC but how good is it for maintenance?
0w30 is for performance but does it mean low FC....?

In 0W40 for example, ignor eth first number as it is applicable only for winter climate.

With the hot and humid weather in S'pore and unforgiving stop and go city traffic conditions, an oil rating of 40 gives optimium protection for current batches of Latio on S'pore roads which are all less than 4 yr old.

Bro, for ur case, on ur 3rd 10K servicing which is free, recommend u to top-up for Fully-Syn Oil. U nd to pay additional for changing the normal free Mineral Oil under ur 3rd servicing package. If u intend to change to in-house Fully Syn oil, recommend u to use their Fastflo oil. Don't use Shogun (also their in-house oil which is more expensive), where I have experienced drop in mileage (fr ~12km/L to ~10km/L, and also lack of power). U may search our past forum discussion on this Shogun n Fastflo performance, few of us here have tried and it was not good on feedback.

After u hv top-up for Fully Syn oil at the 3rd servicing, ur free NPMP program will follow at 20K, 30K, 40K and 50K, which all of them they will use in-house Fastflo fully-syn oil which is okay. Just rem to insist on Fastflo during all these servicing, not Shogun. :)

Of cos the other choice u hv is to use the free normal mineral oil at 10K servicing, but then ur continuing NPMP will be "odd" at 15K, 25K, 35K and 45K.

Hope u get a clearer picture on the above. Cheers.

I've tried both the Fasflo and Shogun before for my Latio but felt both affected FC and pickup. Ride felt sl sluggish too. I'm now using Carlube from Giant 5W40: cheap and good  :devil2:

As I mentioned earlier, if you are under NPMP,  you do not have to top up for Fasflo synthetic engine oil at 10,000km oil change.

If you are not under NPMP, then you have to top up $$$.
