You're welcome ...I was hoping that being new the Filter was just hand-tightened instead of over-tightened ...when they're tough to get off like that if I can't get a decent angle on the Filter-wrench, I just drive a screwdriver straight thru to turn them. Oil at first change is always a little darker & dirtier because of deposits from the break-in period which is why they usually recommend changing at 1000 then move the next changes out to 3000 to 5000. Now get the rpms up a little and have some fun.

why don't you just bring it to the dealer and let them do all the job.. i just finished my first service maintenance (3,815km). i forgot that there's a 1000km lolz.. my oil was like a black coffee! now it's better but they adjust everything... got a new feeling on all pedals!

My first service interval is at 9000miles, plus it wasnt that difficult, just finding the right parts.
What did they adjust on your car?

Got those revs high "Forsa", clutch is biting stronger, mpg is higher considering I used a heavy weight oil, and oil is still maple syrup.

Just one thing, hit a pot hole :s (hidden under a puddle) and tracking is going to the left slighty haha

my clutch pedal now was high and hard to press. my brake pedals also became too sensitive and can only be press halfway compared before. But i like the sound of my engine now... it's thicker and the delay was gone. They flushed my engine before they put the oil. I didn't asked what kind of lubricant they used on flushing the old oil.

I also had a slight pull to the right but they just reduced the tyre pressure on the left side. now it's ok...

...yes, having fun is sometimes a little expensive ...bent a couple of Rims on Swift I had in Costa Rica. Hopefully you've just thrown alignment out a little but it's possible you've bent a Tie-rod end. Easy to replace & almost always available on eBay.

I would probably very carefull on buying the Mobil 1 product.
make sure it is not made in asia...
the quality is completely different.

I used to be Mobil 1 dealer and maniak...
but since 2000 I completely change to another brand.
have a dissapointing exp with Mobil 1 0w/50 product.

I would prefer japanese oil for japanese cars....
go for FK Massimo, or HKS fully syntethic.

have u seen the sport package in my country....????
here it is,
comes with body kits, 2 door look, mirror led turn sign, and ENKEI 17"

whoa whoa...
the dealer flush ur engine...???

please take my advise though...

don't flush anymore...
it will damage the gasket head...
expecially with old engine.....

just change the oil...
as long as u don't change the grade of the oil,
it doesn't need to be flushed...
flushing the engine will carried away ur coating film on the bore and combustions chamber.
