Snow in my country.

Believe me you can find snow all over the country in Sarawak.I am referring to the car wash centre and a road side car wash and often have a signboard or banner which says "SNOW WASH".Those foam they used to wash cars really look like snow.

That is what i call the advertising gimic to attract customer.My dear friends it is not cheap to own a car....eventhough some says ..buy cheap car-lah!!!!!made in Malaysia meh.....If not because of necessity I don't dream to own a car..better ride cupchai 90cc.(Sebelum hujan sedia baju hujan).

By Eric Peter,Automotive Columnist:There's is no reason why you shouldn't be able to get at least 12 years and 150,000 trouble-free miles out of a new car to-day.

But the key element is proper care and proper driving,cars are a lot like our bodies,live like a VIP and don't expect to live very long.But treat your body(and your car) with care and respect and both should last a very long time.

To-day I bring my car for service due for 30.000 km.Headache..headache!#$%^&*my mind remind me "Don't try to save money by not maintaining your car?It will cost you more in long run".Waah....!#$%^&*When money is tight and tough budgeting decicions need to be made,I might be considering putting off car maintenance.It seems to be a logical option if your car isn't need of any oritical repairs.But I should be aware that by putting off routine maintenance I may cause myself more problem in the long run.

OIL CHANGE:

Oil helps to reduce friction and keeps our engine running well .Conventional wisdom says to change it every 1000km or 3 months or which ever come first.But of course we can follow your manufacturer's instructions if they say to do it less frequently.Your risk engine failure if you don't change your oil often enough.

My story of my car oil change......I didn't know that my compact car need top-up with special kind of engine oil (SAE 5W-30)semisynthetic API SM and the price is again!#$%^&*Rm70.50 for 3L.But why can't they top-up my car with engine oil without API SM which is more cheaper 3L for Rm 55.00.Again....!#$%^&* my mind told me "Use the proper grade of fuel/oil specified by the manufacturer".Well keeping up on routine maintenance of your car is far less costly then the expensive repairs that can come up when you ignore your carDon't cut regular auto check-ups and tune-ups out of your budget.If you do,you wil be SORRY.
Wah......headache again...!#$%^&*.
