Its written in the car manual book that oil should be changed every 15,000km.
As I said I bought the car with 26,000km on it and shall change oil now at 30,000. Since the car still has new car guaranty I want dealer to do whatever they do(or not) and put me dealer stamp in service book. On cars I had before I used to change oil myself at every 10,000(this would be once a year). Shall do the same with this after new car guaranty expires. I read in the manual book that light for oil change will come on when car feels its time. I understood it like this. Light for oil change is not bound to km or time or something. I was not waiting for the light to come ,I was just thinking that it will come on at 30,000km because thats service time. Now I know that light don't come. Thats kinda stupid ,a lot of other cars have warning light bound to mileage.Why not this one I wonder? Anyhow to conclude ,service maintenance light don't come. Oil change light comes when 'car feels its the time for oil change'. Smart car I guess... On 25.10 the car is going to dealer for service. Service costs (also repairs and similar stuff) is really expensive here in Norway. Prices for 30,000km service from 5 different Toyota dealers in Oslo range from 4800nok(820usd) to 5500nok(940usd). I have Sweden an 1 hour drive from home and price there is 2600nok (440usd). Guess where I will go... |
