I havent yet bought it. It does have a small crack on the side wall. One guy from Bridgestone who inspected said it is a tear only on the outer surface and can be used unless the tear increases. I dont want to use it, so using it as a spare tyre. My main use is in City and my plan is, if i ever have to use the spare tyre, i would be very careful and slow.

PS: I used a Santro for 25k kms and my bike has done 35k and neither have had a single flat tyre. Thats why i feel chances of using the spare tyre is really less in this modern age (and may be also related to my driving style).

Don't take chances. Get it replaced/rectified as soon as possible. You never know when you will need the spare tyre.

hi all,
The car completed the third service at 15.5k km. Nothing much done. Oil top up, coolant top up were the only things apart from cleaning. Prerana motors seems to be doing good till this point.

Since the car had 2 rim bends some time back, and i had done wheel alignment recently, i asked them not to do anything with the wheels.

Mods: Can you please change the thread title to "Indica Turbo DLS - 15k"?

What is the oil change interval for your vehicle as per your service booklet?

Its every 10,000 kms or 6 months. It has been about 5 months since last service. Here is the tricky part. The car will not be running much (may be once in 15 days - very low usage) for about 8 to 10 months as i am relocating out of India. If i do get the oil changed, it would not be used much anyway and once i come back, i will have to change it again. Hence, i decided to not change the oil now.
Any thoughts? Did i make a mistake?
