Practically speaking there is no use of 2nd, 4th, 6th service which is at 5k, 15k & 25k kms. They just do nothing in it just wash the car and give back to us and charge hefty labour charges and some extra charges for consumables which i think they never put or are of no use.

I agree with you so I changed engine oil otherwise i would have not done it.

All your HD shots...especially 2,3,4,8,9 th pics.
Thank you bro.

Update:
What a performance! after this Engine oil change and switch I really amazed with the performance of the car.
I managed to get 23-24kmpl on highway with 100% time AC on and engine too feels so peppy, as a part of test my Ertiga is pushed to 140kmph with AC on and still more power left in its trunk.

statistics:
AVG Speed 90kmph
FE: 24kmpl.
driving style: very smooth and constant acceleration is maintained, only in one stretch( around 5km) I pushed my car to 140kmph otherwise it was a very soft drive.

Buddy nice pictures, just a suggestion from my end.. Get alloy wheels it will enhance the beauty.
yes buddy, my initial plan was to get good alloys from outside, later I started thinking that I should also change tyre to make it look much sporty.

I'm thinking 205/65r15 tyres and alloys for this size. I need to check how well this size works for ertiga in terms of fitting, FE, speedmeter deviation or any other downsides.

please suggest

I think 205/65r15 will make the diameter of the wheel much bigger & sidewall will be also too big for it. 205/55/15 or 205/60/15 would be much appropriate.

I guess 205/60/15 looks sporty than 55 right? what about rear wheel arches? aren't they touch tires when vehicle is traveling through uneven terrain?

No the 205 section tyres are ok & dont hit the arches but than too if you going for it than just to be sure just fit it and see it & than decide. If you choose more width and dont change the sidewall height than i think your ride will take a toss and diameter of the tyre will also wont match much.
The wider you go sidewall must come 5mm down.
So if you going for 195 section tyres than 195/60/15 would be the ideal upgrade and if you going for 205 ssection tyres than 205/55/15 though some people do go for 205/60/15 too.

Bro, but too much wide tires like 205 section will be too much and make handling difficult and also will be difficult to fit! 195 will be best!

Go for 205 section tires buddy,LUV need a goo pair of shoes,handling and comfort on uneven and potholed road will improve.Assure you will feel the difference.
I too feel to change but now about 3.2 k on odo and depreciating value of tire are somewhat pull back,even i felt the need on later side of my trip.

Get pair of yokahoma or michilin which has much low road noise.

Are you planning to change rims??

Nice to see that you too have intereset in photography, buy one nice cam which has manual settings of aperture, shutter speed, ISO and that will make you job easy.
I expect 205 should increase my ride quality and handling and its again it depends on the tire type you use, let me check in some tire shop.

I'm in the same status as you are buddy, the appreciation amount for company fitted tire is very low, I already checked with some dealer they quoted very disappointing figures.
yes I will change RIM and tires but not very soon because of the same reason you have.

A pic of my LUV boy I clicked yesterday in the city!
Nice click buddy but take care of light and your camera settings, any question on the photography just PM me, I'll help as much as I could.

I have issued some problems with my tyres. 2 tyres have started wearing out. This problem i told to SE during my 5th service and he told that we will check wheel bearings and after the check everything seems to be fine and no issues with the car. Now he says he will complain to MRF and when they come he will call me to the MASS for inspection by MRF people.
Any idea why tyres are getting worn out so early?
And does improper wheel alignment at front cause rear tyre wear?
