Great snaps there, loved the picture 862538 which beautifully brings out the City posing in a city atmosphere. I am sure with your ownership, the Venus is going to be pampered and you and your family are going to be royally pampered back in return. | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() @ Fellow ANHC owners, Have you noticed shuddering/vibration while switching off the engine? Also the power window switch set makes little noise while music is over 20 due to bass. I have set the equalizer to Energy, the noise is not there when it is on relax mode. |

| ![]() Hey BV, Wish you a very happy new year! Could you please go back to your City's service history and check how often the Oil filter has been changed? The manual mentions a replacement schedule of 10k kms but although my City has run 15k kms, it hasn't been changed yet. I need to have a word with Honda and Pearl Honda about it. Also, my car had the 15k kms service today, check out the report. |

I have just checked my last service bill which has mention of oil filter cartridge costing Rs. 186. I guess this should be the oil filter itself and not any other thing. But the Honda guys have replaced mine at 5K instead of usual 10K. And in your case they haven't changed even at 15K service? Funny isn't it? According to the manual it should be changed every 10K so make sure you get it replaced ASAP or wait for experts comment (I will suggest you to get it replaced). | |

The Oil filter for my Corsa costs ~300. I'll need to check with Pearl Honda tomorrow. Do check the maintenance chart and the service bill after you're done. I don't trust these guys to be thorough with the servicings. Also, get the a/c vents and a/c filter checked as I mentioned on my thread. | |

Looks like Nikon is fully being handled the way it should be. ![]() Hi All - Wish you belated Happy New Year. An update from my side. I had been away for sometime busy in project deliveries. Recently got the punny horn changed in warranty. The horn used to sound in 3-4 different ways at different times of the day ![]() Completed 30K service (in 1.5 years), total service cost 29XX/- which includes Oil & Oil Filter change. As always went for Mineral Oil. In this cost the cost of Labour is the Major component. The car still feels as smooth as I had driven brand new out of showroom.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Bluevolt Is it mandatory to do the engine oil change in 2nd service? My car has covered only 2,600 Kms and I told the SA to do the oil change in the 3rd free service which is 6 months/10,000 KMS service. |

So, I'd suggest you get the oil replaced. In the services henceforth, you can prolong the change if the car's running is very low. | |

I have always felt that the OEM mineral oil serves best for Honda. It works well for 5k interval service. I got my car serviced at nearly 16,000 km and it's working great. I get the service done at approx 6 months 5,000 km interval that suits my usage pattern. Also recommended is that you do not switch to synthetic oil as your running seems to be really low. All the best! | |

Engine oil is changed at second service which is at 5000 KMs and after this @every 5,000 KM you have to change engine oil. I will suggest you to use mineral oil only. And if your car is yet to be serviced then do get the oil changed. |
