Hi,
Did a round trip jamnagar-ahmedabad-jamnagar 660 km got average of 15.5 kmpl average speed 80/100 kmpl.left at night & returned by evening no photograps taken

The oil change for my EECo is due now as she completed 20000 km.Without giving any trouble to me.
I plan to treat her with synthetic oil this time,it was recommended by the supervisor of atul motors who generally takes care of my EECO.
How good is it.The price quoted was about 1100 per liter.

Same. Vipul motors qouted me Rs.1100 pl for Synthetic oil, But, As I had forgotten my Wallet at home and had no ATM card also, Had to stick to normal one.

Have you done ENGINE DECARBONISING on your EECO? Please share the prices of that.

I asked the executive he said it would cost about rs.500/=, They will be using a can of bg company will add it to the exixting engine oil run the engine in idle for some time and then drain out the oil he said this would remove any carbon particularsfrom the engine and will also help the engine to run smoothly.

Bumper painting has been put on hold for time being,This mirrors are useful in spotting the blind spots around the car, specially when changing lanes on highway

What about bumper painting ? Mirrors ?

 

[rameshudupi]

Hi,
Replace the OEM ORVMs with Santro Xing ORVMs (old type). Change only the mirror not the base. You can even buy the blinking mirror covers.
