How much maintenance for Nissan Latio, Toyota Vios & Lancer

[Bau_ong]

Hi all Jap car user users,
considering buying this car (Nissan Latio, Toyota Vios & Lancer)
but need your experts input on the maintenance cost.

how much do you spent on maintenance on your Latio

[Keithchue]

my vios, just goes regular servicing...it is 5 yr old. just occasional engine flush...nothing expensive

[Kspchew]

You might want to try Autosaver or Autoaid, their prices are much cheaper than AD.

Servicing packages are also stated in the webpage so you might want to compare before making any decision.

[Kiario]

nissan got the npmp package costing around $1k+ for 4 servicing.

but i guess maintenance for the above 3 cars you mentioned should be around the same.

 

[So_nice]

nothing much juz normal servicing. save some $$ in case u nid to replace wear and tear parts.

Like for the CVT transmission oil... Also replace every 100k, I was last told the oil cost 95sin exclude labour cost.

[Quickfusion]

This is a good thread. I'm also looking at all the above cars to change to and currently in the lead for me is the Lancer GLX followed by Latio and finally Vios.

 

Any advise?

[Idiotboi89]

For latio 4-5 years,

 

change some belt before

every 10k engine oil change

every 40k transmission oil change

Brake pads changes as per required

tyres x 4 changed once

spark plug change every 100k

 

i would say not very high maintenance as compared as you can get stuff from nissan stockist =]
