Jamesc Hypersonic August 16, 2010 Share August 16, 2010 another reason is UK Manufacturer is subsidising due to BULK Order also Hypermart margin is very LOW on this 5w40 5L. This price will not last long........ Its ok, car lub price will never go up. It will never sell for more than $30 a bottle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shox87 4th Gear August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 sounds pretty serious? so i guess u have to physically get below the car to remove the nut to change the oil right? sounds quite challenging i must say.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-K 2nd Gear August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 (edited) I've got 1 question.How to DIY oil change in car park?I thought need to jack up?Those normal jack only jack up one side.For those commercial tyre shop those kind of jack,I think will block the opening nut to the engine oil.anyone can advise? Spend some $$ to buy a pair of jack stands then. Dun buy from big shops like autobac. Jack stands and jack are sold at much cheaper price in JB. It's not safe to do any under-the-car work with jack alone. Edited August 17, 2010 by C-K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5936 1st Gear August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 Sorry I dont mean to pour cold water on your enthusiasm of DIY. HDB dont want svc done at MSCP, Fatimah will issue ticket. NEA also can kepo on the used oil. Others CP mgt not sure. But one can always do anything but dont get caught. Go back to the jacks, Yes you will need them if there is no way of reaching the drain plug without crawling under. Some drain plug can be accessed with stretched hand. But again, I find it worthwhile to pay a small fee for others to change oil for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 Yes, it's illegal to change EO in HDB carparks. Unless you live in landed, then you will have the privilege of changing your own EO. But, dumping of used EO indiscriminately carries a heavy fine ($5K). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
