Just need a workshop to do an oil change for me that's all.

[Huat138]

Bro, can pm me the name of the workshop? Thanks.

[Icejelly76]

looks good. Can change DIY oil change easily. Only afraid that there is a rare chance of people might itchy hand. then we start engine...... gone case.

Just went to a workshop in Kranji for oil change. They quote me oil change for $10 but in the end i change my ?ATF, spark plug and aircon filter so labour $20. By the way i saw ATF filter. What is that> do we need to change? Worth it?

 

can u drop me a pm for the name of this workshop? thanks!

For sure is oil & oil filter.

 

Spark plugs every 20K km

 

Air filter if too dirty to "air blow clean".

 

Check & top-up if necessary: battery water, PS fluid, brake fluid, radiator water. Check front & rear brake pads for wear. Check all bushings & shock absorbers & steering linkages for wear.

 

AC no need to do anything if it's still cold. Once it is not cold, send to a reliable & honest AC shop to check. If necessary, do a complete service. Otherwise u just need to top-up the AC gas.

 

Balance & rotate 4 tires. Check alignment every 20K km & adjust with 4 wheel computerised if tires show uneven wear.

 

Let's see. Have I missed anything out???

 

Maybe the bros & sis here can add on.

 

Just curious. If I am using stock paper filter, do I need to change oil and oil filter every 5k?

 

I heard for aftermarket filter, some people do change oil every 5k.

 

Any advice, I would kindly appreciate. Thanks!

[Gary84]

[James911]

Haha. Ya. Does he include engine oil filter change also? Changing of engine oil only isnt a difficult job actually.

[Gary84]

sorry i also just got to know abt him thru this thread. Will try him very soon and give a FR.

No problem,if you have the right filter wrench and know how and where to safely disposed off the use oil and filter.

[Hishercar]

i use to do it on my own but I think the money spend is worth it by getting workshop to do it

 

because they can drain clean and have this suction thing that removes more dirty oil than just by gravity

 

i hope this is useful

[Yeobh]

Basically there are two categories of DIYers - one consists of those who all out to save money and the other group beleive strongly in "labour of love". I use to belong to the later group during the 70"s up 80" there after due to time contrainst I usually goes to my friend's workshop that have vaccum oil chnager - the draining is fast cheap and clean.Draining oil via gravity flow is old as the car industry and is normally not satisfatory.
