Flushing engine in a young car is like popping supplements when one is already healthy.

 

It's not necessary, but it makes the person feel good. And such expenditure props up the economy.

Another cockanathan upsell by ADs is the "brake discs need to be replaced".....on a 2 yr old car. What a load of BS

Aiya! Too late for me.

I just came back from 10K service, then read about this Engine Flush thing. I paid S$78 for the flush lor!

 

I think they are on this Engine Flush $$$$ making Sxxm. HAHAHA.

 

Anyone else were ask to do the flush within this months servicing ?

 

Yah. 1 more thing is when I ask are they using 5W-30 ? They said yes, and ask me do I want to upgrade to 5W-40??? 5W-40 is upgrade meh?? 5W-40 is better than 5W-30 meh ?

 

But I stay with 5W-30.

 

FNA millage 10K , running on SPC95.

 

2 Year package 20K,30K,40K,50K package for FNA is S$1488 ( Can use Duo Point up to S$100 ).

Insist to stay on 5W30. As printed on the Engine oil cap, Subaru had recommend to use 5W30.

Why they want to use 5W40? Most likely they get the shell 5W40 at dirt cheap price.

Waliew.......10k oredi they upsell engine flush?? Too much

[mrhan1982]

Hello, fellow victim. Actually for the money spent on flushing I should TOP up a bit more and do a oil change at outside workshop. Definitely better than domenfine flush

On this engine flush topic, specifically for FXT:

 

1) when should engine flush be done?

2) what is the process and which qualified workshop can do this(assuming warranty over already)?

If you use good engine oil and service as per schedule.

No need engine flush.

I got it free w my ride but remember its abt 270ish.

Wow not bad what! Looks like original... if can link to rear parking sensors it would be great!

[Sunshines11]

Hi... Can I just check if any of the FNA drivers here managed to use Mirt 5W-30? When I requested for it, I was told by e SA that they only have Motul 5W-30... Thks! :)

I think this is unacceptable. Flushing an engine at 10K km is absolutely unnecessary.  If a new engine need engine flush at such an early stage then something is very wrong with that particular engine or the design.

 

If any MI staff or management is reading this, beware the bad reputation your workshop is getting. Owners need to have trust and confidence with the workshop. Once that reputation is gone, it is very hard to get back. I am now becoming very vary of MI workshop and their practice. Maybe the next car I get will not be from them.

[Kayaloti]

Do MI have reputation? I really doubt so, I came back from accident repair from MI. They use old and broken parts, paint job below standard.

Regretted going back there for the repair. Swear I will never step into MI workshop, didn't know they are so dark inside.

[Poseidon]

I tried to book my service online, can't even do so.

 

Keep telling me my account is invalid.

 

I tried registering as new user and also tried to reset my password, also to no avail.

 

I also tried to register for my Duo account, also cannot.

 

Motor Image really never fails to amaze me with their shitty after sales.

Have you check with your SE to resolve for you? Or else can give them a call.

This sounds very serious.

Yes.... I totally agree with you.

I own a 2009 Forester,... love my girl,...she has never let me down,... unlike MI service centre.

 

Caught them twice doing monkey biz,.... and after that,... never went back.  Left a really bad taste in my mouth. 

Not surprised they are still at it,... now that sales has gone up.

There must be a law that warranty must be honored regardless whether service by AD or 3rd party.

If owner can prove no modification done and regular service internal is done,.. Subaru must honor the warranty.

This will give owners the confidence and MI to buck up.

 

Now,... am thinking of changing my ride,... and this service and warranty thingy is having me think twice.

Sad.
