what a pity.... but then i was the one who booked the car servicing today .... !! haha
after slightly over 6 months, the mileage is approx 10700 km and that makes this the 3rd service.... and with the change to synthetic oil, i'd expect the fuel mileage to improve a little, well hopefully for most times i cant resist prodding throttle more just for fun haha....... so that might negates any fuel savings synthetic oil can bring over mineral oil....
in terms of throttle response and the fun factor, the lancer GT is a right step ahead........ but when it comes to handling, my cs3 and coilover/struts combo is still a more confident and potent companion to deal with curves.....
since the appointment was at 0900 hrs, i had set the alarm to go off at 8 so that there was sufficient time to laze around and get ready....... in the end, i slept till 0830 and managed to reach the workshop only at 0910 hrs...... well, only 10 mins late so i was fine....
in the relatively quiet and secluded thomson neighbourhood there are only trees, petrol stations and traffic lights, there was nothing much to do except to wait..... i did walk over to the nearby hawker centre to have breakfast but i was not gonna stay there for a couple of hours huh.... so it was back to the air-conditioned waiting area.....
a 10,000 km service is not really a big or back-breaking job but in the end, i left the place only 3 hours later..!! didnt understand what took them so long but this seems to be normal at dealers' workshops.........
perhaps there is no incentive to work fast .. so they might as well take it easy....... sigh at least now i do not have to go back there until the next 10,000 km......
something did bring a smile to my face ..... and it felt good to not have to pay a single cent for car servicing haha.....
