By the way how much does the GTX can cost? Also, the STP engine oil additive and the flush can? |
Get a Castrol GTX diesel 4 liter can for 650rs and the STP engine oil additive for 190rs, add both and don't worry. 100ml here or there is not really important. Infact most service centers fill in 4lt instead of 4.2lt.
The STP can is 300ml

2) Can you please provide more gyaan on the engine oils and other techniques like decarbonizing, flushing and other treatments?
My friend is driving Indica DLS which has done close to 150,000 kms and he has always got it serviced from the Authorised Service Centre( Delta Motors, Gurgaon). They are good when u compare to others as they are only authorized service centre and no dealer. |
Make sure you are at service center when they are changing oil.
Also ask them if they allow you to give oil yourself.
You don't need flushing etc., now, get it done after 30K kms.
Infact if you are regular with oil change schedule and use a high detergent engine oil, flushing can be done after 40K.
What does your service manual say about oil grade(API-CG etc., will be there as minimum requirement).
If you don't want to splurge on synthetic you can buy
1. Chevron Delo
2. Castrol GTX diesel
3. Shell helix diesel(ultra or super something API-CG4)
No 2&3 are commonly available.
If you want to head over to debate section, then the synthetic vs mineral oil thread is there
After they change engine oil, you can pour in a can of STP engine oil treatment.
