service centre near Ampang area

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help by suggesting a service centre where I can send my car for 45,000 km service near Ampang area?

Thanks

Angie

- wat kind of oil u using? Mineral? Synthetic? Wat kind of rating? Rotary oil?

- How long is ur last spark plug change? If u have not changed before, u can consider to change now or wait til 50,000km.

- Coolant - any coolant will do. Or if u r not particular, distilled water or even water will do.

- Battery - When is ur last change?


Normal service centres will not have the rotary engine spark plugs. 2 leading, 2 trailing. As for engine oil, again, if u r not particular, either u get mineral oil or engine oil with the correct rating. However, advisable to use rotary engine oil since u r at 45,000km mark oredi.

Battery and coolant change, any workshops can do it.

colder plugs?? sorry, still new to this term. Still need you to advise me on this.

However, Knight Sports, RE amemiya and Autoexe all recommend using back the NGK original spark plugs. Denso is not recommended altho they have it for the rotaries.

Yo bro, to answer to question:

ur workshop does servicing or not
- Yes. Ur standard oil meaning? Wat oil do you want to change? or workshop recommend? No preference for u? We recommend rotary oil or mineral oil only. However if u have ur own oil or preference u wan to use, also can.

- Price alrite = ???
Price will be determined by the oil u use. Queueing shldnt be an issue. The rest of the stuff are standard.

Angie,

May i ask how long have you driven your car?? And who serviced you car before??cos you mileage is considered very high.... Do you know Pandan Indah??? Look find Redsun Motorsports for your car service in that area........ Or else come to Sunway.....

C&C does service RX8 as well but at a higher pay.... The choice is yours...

Kean
