What to do with engine oil?

Hi arias48,

Tan chong did not refund me anything for my 3rd servicing.
If i am not wrong, for the 3rd servicing, they still use mineral oil as engine oil unless you said u want synthetic oil.
And for tat, they will charge u an amount for using their synthetic oil. Alternatively, u can bring ur own synthetic oil
and they will change for u for free...

Hi Capcorn,

pardon me for asking a silly question if it seems may be. How can you be sure that they dun 'pocket' your engine oil and put in their in-house flasflo or mineral oil?

I am looking for a service branch where i can take glimpse of the technician servicing my car and i can eyeball them filling up using the engine oil which i brought.

TCM-BT cannot... because the lounge area is away from the servicing area. How about other branch? Toa Payoh?

Don't think you can personally watch what they are doing at any TC service centre. You just send the car there and collect later that's all. You can only trust that they pour in the engine oil that you brought and do a proper servicing. Whether they betray that trust is another matter.

Me never went back to TC anymore after the 10k servicing. I do it at Autoxxxxx where I can stand there and watch them from start to finish if I so wished. There was once I stood at a discreet corner to watch. They actually emptied the boot, took out the spare tire to check! From then on, I knew I didn't have to watch anymore. They can be trusted.
