Be vigilant when getting oil changed at 20000 km/ 12 months

 

 

I bought a manza quadrajet euro III in july 2010. since then i have had a mileage of 19.3 kmpl and it really goes 23-25 on highways. I have driven 11500 km since then and 4200 km in 1 week (jamnagar- jammu & back). highways, rough roads, sea level & altitude of 3.1 km (10000 feet), my baby has taken it all with ease. I like it's "heavy feeling" steering which is easy to turn yet firm.

Interiors are just ok. leg space is enormous and matchless. comfort is awsome, I will share a recent incident, I encountered in my IIIrd service. I got oil changed in my car. MY service station guys replaced oil with wrong grade of oil (meant for indica v2 etc) but charged me for synthetic oil (3.5 times expensive than normal & works 2-2.5 times more and better). i could instantaneously feel engine vibrations, rapid rise of temp and loss of efficiency at low engine temp. after 5 months and driving 1000 km I decided to go to service stn. to my surprise mechanic told me that my car has wrong grade of oil. they accepted their mistakes after some talks (threats to sue them in court) and my oil and oil filter was replaced. All proud manza owners, kindly watch out for this error when changing oil. this superb engine needs to be run with synthetic oil only.

I request all manza boys & gals to share their experiences, so we learn from our mistakes.
