After 10K servicing
« on: October 19, 2008, 07:30:07 AM »
After my 10K servicing last week, the engine oil was changed to flasfo. There was a "Tune Engine" done because I complain hard starting at times.

Well, after I drive, feel the car more smooth and powerful compared to after 5K servicing. Not sure whether will affect FC.

Haha, is it psychological that I think car is more powerful after servicing? Any pple got idea what has been tuned? Check with the SA, he didn't my answer directly.

Basically is as per the checklist in the maintenance booklet. EO is FOC unless one chooses Shogun. The only thing extra was the engine tuning (not sure whether is it part of the package), any guys' engine was tuned during the 10K servicing?

For 10,000km servicing, if you wish to "upgrade" to synthetic oil, you need to top up money.

But if mineral oil is used, it's free.

Actually, it depends - if u purchased yr Latio recently, TCM would throw in NPMP free plus 1st 3 service free also. If u are on this package, then 10,000km service is using synthetic oil. If your package only got 1st 3 service free and NO NPMP, then the 10,000km service uses mineral oil. This will be stated in the Service history card that TCM will mail to you abt 2 months after you collect yr new car.

If you have not recieved yr service history card and you're kum cheong, u can simply call up yr SE to ask, or ask the service centre people when u send in yr car for the 1000km or 5000km service.  :thumbsup:

It is the norm to have engine tuned at major 10,000km intervals servicings.

So for 10,000km servicing, your engine should be tuned.

The ECU (Engine Control Unit) is tuned.

This ECU is like the car's hardware.

Your car should run smoother after tuning.

Yes indeed my car run smoother. But I am still curious to exactly what exactly was tuned. Can't seem to get the SA to tell me.

Your car's ECU is like an on board computer that controls the car's electronics.

A hand held computer unit is usually inserted into your cigarette lighter or plug in the engine to tune it.

As to what exactly is tuned, I can't answer that question. Quite technical.

At times when it is a rushed job and tuning is not properly done, optimum benefits may not be reaped.

It also depends on your engine oil used.

There is an option for upgrade to shogun EO at 10K servicing at a cost.
Any of you guys have tried ? Appreciate your feedback pls.
