Sonata Yf Maintenance

For 2.0 engine oil, it is between 4.1L to 4.3L, have been told by Glenmarie sc

Diff SC diff opinion. just check the dipstick and if within the level..why hv to hear those marketing talk...asking you to buy those funny looking oil treatment or otherwise ended up buying xtra 1 ltr.. our eye can check what haha

u r right. Use eye to check la. Thats what i did.
They pour 4 litre. start, stop engine. check dipstick also at max already ! I tempted to ask him to drain off few ml so that it does not touches max. The problem w glenmarie is u cannot stand next to them and check. And those SA will say " yea u need 4.1 litre bla bla bla". Just go to any authorised branch and u are able to stand n watch if 4 litre is enough. Btw, changing engine oil no need rocket science. any authorised mech can do it.

I always believe the recommended dipstick level should be just below "max". Or ngam ngam at max.

But if anyone die die also wanna buy another 1 litre so that the dipstick shows above max, hey pls go ahead. Its your money, your car.

yeah too much oil also no good esp those insist & kiasu wana go further than Max.

Too much oil might resulted in overspilling where oil going to places it shouldn't and could seal leaking, oil burning & piston ring worn

BTW, I received a sms from Palm Motor, Puchong that their very own Service centre opening on 15/8/11

The neww SC located behind their showroom. - Also beside IOI Mall

just done my 15k km service --> RM122.15 excluded engine oil.
most of the cost goes to labour -->RM90
kutuk by my jb mechanic friend :"u crazy arr..yr 15 year old potong hero use fully and yr new car use semi only! u more sayang yr hero is it!?"..

there are no discount RM30 if u bring your own engine oil.. anyway, still cheaper i bring my own fully oil..5w50. if i want even cheaper, can buy 1 big tong 18L fully store at home, pump it manually into 4L bottle.

*Note: i am not salesman for the product.

how come the sc let u use other brand than shell ? I was told you can bring your own oil, but must be shell or else they wont use it.

so now we cn use any brand we like ? did they scare u with their same line : " bla bla this void warranty bla bla " ?

nop! no bla bla bla..i already CLEARLY mention to sc my engine oil is other brand. sc din't say anything worr..

Hyundai Labour cost calculation:-
Normal service (RM90x1.0)
10k,30k,50k,70k
Minor service (RM90x1.5)
20k,40k,60k,100k,140k
Major service (RM90x2.5)
40k,80k,120k,160k

*15k,25k..etc all fall at Normal service

Below is the service schdule (Noted: labour cost had revised to RM90 fix rate and NOT per hour)

That's bloody expensive!! Honda only RM58++ nia and i insist on this rate till i disposed the car
