[QUOTE="1088, post: 347246, member: 16834"] astroboy, have they inspected your car? Suggest you pay to change the engine oil yourself if they insist not to change FOC. The likely problem you will see is oil sludge forming in the engne at around 30000km. If this happens during warranty period, then is is good news as they will clean the engine and change the necessary parts FOC, if it happens after warranty period, it will cost you an "arm and leg". Since you are a low mileage user high chances that you will see the sludge problem after the warranty period. Just buy your own oil and have the dealer change for you. I do not know how much the oil will cost in Msia, in Singapore, you can buy Castrol 0w40 at $18/litre or S$90 for 5litires. Labour to change oil in PML Singapore is $55, all in S$145.00.... [/QUOTE]
