Guides written by the people who do the work, for people who drive in Singapore. Every figure here is sourced, and where we could not verify something we say so instead of filling the gap.

Servicing
Almost every handbook sold here says the same thing: ten thousand kilometres or six months, whichever comes first. The half of that sentence people ignore is the six months. Here is what your oil is actually doing between services, why Singapore driving sits in the column carmakers call severe, and the difference between a service and an LTA inspection.

Engine oil
The bottle says 5W-30. Someone at the coffee shop swears 5W-40 protects better in this heat. Your handbook mentions a code like MB 229.5 or VW 504 00 and explains none of it. Here is what each part of the label measures, and which part actually decides.

Tyres
Everyone quotes 1.6mm. Almost nobody quotes the rest of the sentence, which changes what you are actually measuring. Here is what Singapore law says word for word, the five other ways a tyre becomes an offence, and where the folklore about tyre age comes from.
Bring it in and we will tell you what we find, in plain language, with the quotation before any work starts. Engine oil packages from $85 including four litres, the oil filter, a 29-point check and labour.
