Those of you who got the pre facelift Latio, 2007 YOM (Year of Manufacture) stock should know that your Latio was manufactured in 2007 and upon arrival in Singapore, it would have been parked in the warehouse for almost 1 year before being cleaned up and delivered to you.
What is of concern is the gearbox oil that would have been oxidised after being left idle and exposed to the elements for 1 year.
The gear box oil change is at 40,000km, according to Tan Chong servicing schedule, which means your next gearbox oil change would be 2 to 3 years later, depending on your mileage.
Would driving for 2 to 3 years on old oxidised gearbox oil damage the 4A/T or CVT gearbox in the long run?
And I also noticed that my engine oil dip stick level was only at the 1/2 level upon car collection. BUt since oil change at 1,000km was very near, I just let it be.
