  for me i prefer to do it at 5k or 8k. coz last time always do it at 10k until 1 time the mechanic nv chk the battery water n i oso dunno, then dry up lor. when u do it at a shorter interval, anything funny u oso tend to discover it earlier.

  not really...my dad's job need him to be on the road almost everyday...so average is ard 100km per day..plus if i'm driving, add in average 100km per week..so one week is 800km alr...1 mth is ard 3200km..so around 3 mths change oil plus checkup...
  
  other than tt, i do check the water level, battery water, n all the different oil level before i drive, if i have the time...so at least i noe wat is missing n wat is not...

  When to change engine oil depends on the way u drive. If u r one who never stop ramming high rev, then it's better to change it at 5000km-7000km. If normal driving, 10k km should be ok(synthetic).
  
  Normally labour fee is abt 20-30 bucks, not toking abt agents hor.
