I've always had high FE figures with my car - so this was not an aspect I was looking at with the FFE
Maintaining black cars is the same everywhere! It needs a lot of perseverance and attention-to-detail. The end result, is well worth it !

"Constant speeds" is used generically. Highway driving was preferred since I absolutely hate city driving.

Its the VFM proposition that attracted me to OWS. For the same grade/performance fully synthetic oil, it should be cheaper by 20% than Mobil1. I didnt want to pay that kind of premium for Mobil1 anymore just for its brand-name.

How is your feeling about the shifts. Substantial improvement?

My gear-shifts had lost their crispness - something that I was annoyed about since the Swift had amongst the best gear-shifts in affordable cars. After this change, that crispness is visibly back.
About the cost, I honestly dont recollect since I left behind that can at Vasu's after the change - the Swift needed some 2.2 liters of gearbox oil and the additive. Farhan would know these rates.

Yup - it has to be.
Ram - you and Rudra would make an awesome artistic alliance!
