I don't have my bill with me but for oil and oil filter the total cost was less than Rs.1000/- . That I'm sure of.

navpreet318 · 17th August 2008, 13:50

here you go.
the oil i had insisted was mineral oil.
quantity-4 Lts
Cost- Rs.824 total.
engine oil drain washer- Rs.18.99
Engine oil filter- Rs.125

thats all.

he was giving me an option of synthetic oil but that i'll use after completing 5000 Kms.

Thanks Csentil and Navpreet.
Heres the bill:
Engine Oil 4.2lits Rs. 785.30
Oil Filter Rs. 105.40
Drain Washer Rs. 16.74

They did suggest Synthetic oil. But, I declined for now.

Overall, a very good experience (for a change) with the A.S.S.

Yup. Just got my civic serviced. Cost me 912/- They've increased servicing cost in Bangalore now by 200/- otherwise it would have been lesser. Cost of labour in Bangalore is too high was the reason given. Those who own other cars are quite astonished on the low maintenance costs for an expensive car like civic.

so whats the latest on the alloys front.did you get something from the lenso distributor.i'd still say dump the practicality and go in for proper 17 inchers in the lenso type M in that satin black finish.

@ shuvD: Congrats on your new acquisition. The car looks awesome after the mods.

I myself got my Misty Violet 1.8 V M/T baby two weeks back. Been mostly driving in Bangalore traffic - the odo is at 330km. Low-end torque seems to be rather insipid, especially in second gear. Has anyone else noticed that? Maybe it will get better after the 1st/2nd services...

csentil · 1st September 2008, 14:03

That's how it is. The torque is low in 2nd gear. The gear ratios are high and that's how you need to drive it.

Sometime back I got the fog lamp projector thingy for around 7k.
Car's done 6700 kms and is doing fine. Wish it had some more power.

Last week, I did a 500 kms round trip. Thankfully, she didn't bottom out on the nasty SH. Got 10.22 kpl with slowish driving.

Can you post a pic of the light throw of your projector lamps (individual and combined if you have the time) please?

shuvd · 1st January 2009, 18:42

@ ImmortalZ - Will do it tomorrow buddy.

He already has a TPi to look after. Don't make him break his bank boosting two cars at once :P
