nope, no suck thing. no package or other BS that TCM offer, is an add-hog job.

Autosaver is an authorise workshop to service Toyota & Nissan Cars. No reason for TCM to avoid warranty & i don bother abt the warranty giving by TCM...:P

my 20k servicing is $195 which included engine oil & filter changed, air filter changed, air-con filter changed, wheel rotation, inflat tyres the pump again, engine clean, top up brake fluid, check brake pad & clean brake dust in caliper & rear drum, change coolen water & top up reservior, vaccum cabin & OBD dyna test... :D

i use Amsoil oil 5w30, so top up another $20.

Very happy with the servicing, atleast i can be ard there and see what is the mech doing & chat with him.


mm sounds good....  so means you took the $195 deal with topup $20 for Amsoil 5W30 la...
frojm what vypex mentioned above... seems like the engine oil suitable for our latio will be either the 30 or 40 kind......

so if i choose engine oil around this range should ok hor.....  ::)

why cant they integrate using cooking oil.......... :w00t:

Yo bro vypez,in your opinion is it necessary to add spring stiffeners to my Latio? From what I know the stock suspension is rather soft.

Thanks bro. Just got suspension stiffeners installed for both front and back. I must say that now when I go over steep humps, my latio's undercarriage does not hit against the hump. woot!

coilovers will rectify all the issues, but anti roll can help the cornering..

if you need the bars, i can help you lah. i got full range. =]

coilovers i can recommend you lah, but i think cheapest also 1k.

I remember mentioned for FF, to curb understeer is to fix front strut or front undercarriage first rather anti roll / sway bar ? Can PM me your full range bars plus price as well. Thanks.  :D

Got mine from Autobacs at $65 per pair, it was on promotion. This price does not include installation. Dunno if this promo still stands though...

SS are installed to rectify stock suspension which are too "soft", once installed, the SS will help improve cornering and prevent your car from lowering too much when you have passengers at the back. Hope this helps.
