Taken while on the highway to JB on sunday
Due to me making quite a numbers of trip to JB (about 3-4 times) and also a couples of times back to hometown.. within 4 months my mileage has gone from 300km to 10,000+km.. so today its time to do the 10,000km servicing, previously i had done the first inspected at 2500km and first service at 4,600+km at Kheng Soon. But this time i am choosing Volcare, because;
1. They are using 'Total' engine oil.
2. I think the rest of the service centre (eps Bluebox / Kheng soon) would be packed on 31/12/08

Total 7000SM + oil filter
I am using the Total Quartz 7000SM 15w/50 semi syn. as i am planning to had my engine oil change on every 10,000km from now on. One funny thing i notice is altho Peugeot recommanded Total oil but at the bottle of the engine oil it didnt written anything about Peugeot instead its written recommanded for Mercedes Benz, VW, Nissan, Toyota etc.. lol
Oil filter
This is the oil filter and a damn expensive one too.. which cost around extra 100%-200% of the price from the outside spare part shop.. but what to do, since the car is under warranty you cant really bring your own parts for it.
Oil filter cap out.. wah the oil looks so black yet shinny.
Firstly.. they (the techician, mechanic call it whatever u like) will open up the oil filter (cap?) and let it drop down into a container at the bottom
The old oil filter
Then he will clean the (cap?) and put in the new filter in and fix it back to its position.
Draining old oil (Caltex, from Kheng soon lol) the oil look black thick and shinny tho.
Next is to 'jack' up the car in drain the engine oil from the bottom. Actually it took about few minutes to drain it, but i told the techician to leave it for 1/2hrs or so, so that its totally drain out clean lol.. well it wont be that clean but atleast get as much as the old oil out as possible.
Putting in new Total oil
After all is done, the car is lowered and new oil will be pour in. I did ask the mechanic how does he know how much to put it.. coz i dont think they will pour in a whole 4L bottle, and well he couldnt answer me how he know... but he just know when is enough lol...
IBM Laptop with windows XP
After all this done, now to check the electronic parts which means they will plug in a laptop with Peugeot Planet 2000 software and basically let is run/diagnosis the whole car systems
I wish i got this software to play around with
Well seems like everything is fine... and it had been reset to next service at the next 10,000km interval, So my next service will be on the 20,000km which i hope... not so soon la..
A closer look of the software interface. simple and seems easy
PS- Only at Volcare they allow me to hang around the working area.. took the picture talk with the mechanic while he is working and ask him to do this and that lol... others service centre?? well you will be asked to sit in the waiting area and drink coffee/watch TV hehe
