Saaber Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Share January 8, 2003 OWS is good....German product... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroader Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Share January 8, 2003 Think autobacs have flushing package.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Share January 8, 2003 Try Mcwell, they have the OWS and Mobil 1 synthetic package which is quite cheap... OWS engine flush, engine protector and Octane booster with Mobil 1 oil for abt $80 or $90.00, I think. better give them a call to check.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonstar Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Author Share January 8, 2003 yo thanks..even if mcwell is cheap..i won't go there. The overall impression last time when i was there is that only chao bengs who dunno anything abt cars go there and just put any stuff in. Pardon me...hehe.

Toonstar Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Author Share January 8, 2003 autobacs also same impression.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Share January 8, 2003 For basic servicing, it is OK, you are not putting those STUFFS into your car. Just ignore those chao beng loh..... You only want best value for money servicing package only..... Why care abt the rest..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superseven Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Share January 8, 2003 hi guys, my car is due for its 40,000km servicing soon. Was hoping to get the following fluids replaced as well: a. Toyota Long Life Coolant b. Manual Transaxle fluid (SAE 75W-90) c. Brake Fluid (DOT 3) Have been to Fong Tat ( At serangoon rd) and Connald (At Verrasamy Rd) and was told that they don't sell servicing stuff. Many other shops that I have been to only sells the brake fluid. Found Autobacs to be the only place so far which carry the above products. but somehow I get the feeling of putting my head on the chopping board. Anybody has any good recommendations or lobangs to get the stuff? btw I am driving a 99 Toyota Echo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Share January 8, 2003 All these stuff you can get from the petrol station....Use dot 4 brake fluid instead of Dot 3....As for Collant, any type will do, but do flushing first.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superseven Neutral Newbie January 8, 2003 Share January 8, 2003 IC... hmm, thks. Didn't pay much attention to such stuff whenever I am pumping petrol, but will do so from now on. Any particular reason for using DOT 4 instead? is it supposed to be the "synthetic" version of brake fluid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdiking Neutral Newbie January 17, 2003 Share January 17, 2003 I met up with my good friend few weeks ago. He told me that he went to Mc**ll for their engine flush package. Told me the mechanic rev his engine until got burning smell. He went back to Mazda, turns out that some components in his engine melted, so needed to change! My guess is that given the lack of moving air, the engine overheated and those non-metallic parts melted. Anyway my friend did not claim back from them. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
