KAH Motors servicing questions

[Fatfat]

Hi Members,

 

I m unfamiliar with KM servicing hence i hope the experienced folks here can help answer some questions, short of calling them direct and getting templated answers.

 

I m driving a frd's FD in his absence, and the car is due for 20k servicing.

 

1) KM policy of allowing own oil to be brought?

2) 1.8L FD uses 4L or 5L engine oil?

3) what entails 20k servicing and estimate costs?

4) To leave car for entire day and come back later? What is the norm?

 

 

Many thanks

1) Yes, u can bring yr own engine oil

2) Shld be 4L

3) 20K is basic servicing. refer to the price list http://www.honda.com.sg/service_pdf/Civic%...rice%20List.pdf

4) depends on which workshop u goes to. from my experience, at Mandai usually can settled in abt 1hr+

[Fatfat]

Thank you for the prompt reply TOYO, that was in record time!

 

Shall check out Mandai then, to minimise time disruption.

[Toyo]

no problem, i'm just sharing my experience. Leonard from Mandai svc ctr gave me very good service

I had tried Ubi too but i feel they were not as efficient, probably because they had more cars to service.

Hi,

Just bought a honda Jazz. Wonder how many litre of engine oil, whats the spec and brand of the engine oil and where is a good place to buy it?

And about oil filter, where do we buy it and any spec or brand?

Thanks.

[Toyo]

just buy a 4L EO will do. I do not know what is a good place to buy but friends recommended me MX Trading

They have Redline, Royal Purple. I'm using Motul 5W30

Do call them before you go down.

There are many places you can buy oil filter but i suggest u dun. lets say after the servicing for some reason the engine oil leaks, the workshop might blamed the oil filter u bought i had heard of such cases

I'm driving FD also.

Must call to make an appointment. Normally 3 to 4 working days from the day u call.

 

1)I dun bring own oil. Sorry I dunno. But can always callup to enquire.

2)4L

3)oil change, oil filter change, some checks, tyre balancing and rotation, no different from 10k km servicing.

4)If sent in the morning b4 lunch time can collect.

 

Estimated cost depends on your oil change. The rest is similar to outside workshop rate ie balance front tyres 10$. As for labour, slightly more than outside but not much. I request to wash the rims b4 balancing and they did it without extra charge.

 

I just did my 30k km. I dun remember much on 20k. If u really want detail have to wait till tonight I get home to see the receipt. Cos at 20k km I also ask them to groom my car hence I dun recall the others.

Thanks. Then I will buy the EO to Kah. Oil filter get from them.

Heading to KM to do 1K run-in servicing, anybody can advise what kind of synthetic oil to buy for a 1K oil-change?

[Picanto]

1k oil change better use mineral oil. those 20w-50 type wil do.

[Tay107]

1K KM use full synthetic oil SHU $97+ can try honda vtec oil get from KM shop ( only @ ubi n lengkee ) or from shop @ waterloo st.

my next svc may use vtec oil.

[Apollo]

u tokking abt REV 0W20?

 

i think is $98.. but tat shop charge GST as well

[Sputnik]

Hmm... differing replies about engine oil.

 

Yeap I have heard about using mineral till 10K, and I suppose KM will use Shell Helix Syn for 1K. Guess I have to leave the answer to the advisor and not take any chance for the time being. Thanks all.

[Vblues]

Hey bro, lemme know how's it after your 1k servicing. I'll be collecting my ride in a few mths time so this is something I'd like to know too.

[Toyo]

KM will used syn oil for 1k svc cos there is no 5K svc interval. the next svc will be at 10K or rather 11K

[Vblues]

Some people say 1k svc use mineral oil so who's right?

[Toyo]

tat's probably bcos their svc interval is 1k, 5k, 10k

at km the interval is 1k, 10k so its better to use syn oil

[Tay107]

mineral oil good for 5k only if 10k is syn oil (SHU 5w40) check w SA when go for 1k svc.
