My 202 BHP Maruti S-Cross: 77,000 km service update

Since my Stage 3 tuned S-Cross had gone through a lot of high-speed testing, dyno runs, etc., a few parts needed replacement.

BHPian Dr.Naren recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Wagen Tunen did a good job as always. I did save a decent amount of money compared to Maruti service.

IOC XtraGreen diesel

New launch by IOC. The cetane number is up by 5 points. I found the effect similar to cetane boosters. It costs only 3.5 bucks more than regular diesel and is totally worth it.

ODO: 77777 km

The car is doing very good after service. The engine is damn smooth now with the new Motul Xcess 5W40 and XtraGreen diesel. I was a little concerned as the current one I am using is made in Vietnam while I had got Made in France can last time. The hissing sound from the engine drive belt is also gone after the new belt.

Got the car washed today. I didn't get it at Wagen Tunen during service as it was about to rain.

Clicked a few pics before I say goodbye to Manipal.
