Next time I’ll do this myself because outside of the paid or free services, this costs too much.<\/h2>\n

BHPian pepega<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Went back to Maruti Service today to get an oil change done. Next time I’ll do this myself because outside of the paid or free services, this costs too much. I should have done this precautionary flushing oil change during the first service itself but as I didn’t, I figured it would be better to do it now instead of living in regret later on.<\/p>\n

As someone else mentioned, the car couldn’t be lifted on the regular lift at Suzuki Arena and had to go on the Wheel Alignment lift. I got to see the underside of the car for the first time.<\/p>\n

Jimny on the lift:<\/p>\n

Oil filter part number 16510 M 68K00:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Engine Oil used. Nexa Brand 0W16 Fully Synthetic oil:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Old oil drained:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There was some debate about the oil to be used. They wanted me to get a higher grade synthetic oil that would be more expensive per liter, but I said, just put whatever it says on the manual if you have it. Leave it if you don’t have it.<\/p>\n

Also got window curtains fitted. At the time of delivery, I wasn’t sure about the legality of the same, but if it’s a Maruti Suzuki authorised accessory, then it should be legal right? Anyway, if I go out of state, I will take them off.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also got some pictures of the underside of the car. The service manager was very friendly and invited me to go under the lift to have a proper look.<\/p>\n

Some pics of the underside. Excuse my poor photography skills:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I didn’t realize the mudguards were so shabbily installed. These vampiric fangs have already rusted. Will look for some alternatives for these.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There was another Jimny in for service today (I think the second one was purchased in our city), so naturally, the two cars were arranged and the service staff took a photo with both vehicles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Overall, I’d say again I had a very positive experience with Maruti Service, in as much as they let me wander around and be a bit of a nuisance and see things for myself, whereas other places would strictly relegate you to the waiting room area.}<\/p>\n

I think I am spending a lot of time with the Jimny these days, so as to avoid thinking about some difficult situations at work. It’s been a great distraction. Completed 1000 km. Hopefully, things will calm down at work as well.<\/p>\n
