Why Motoring Services are so important in Singapore
In Singapore, there are quite a few things we love. Eating, naturally comes to mind. Shopping features heavily too, especially for the fairer sex. I hesitate to imply only women, as many man are fair complexioned too (Ok, just joking there). Traveling would be an all-time fave too, judging by crowded travel fairs and proliferation of air routes by budget airlines.
And yes… Cars!
Given the astronomical prices and yet fully subscribed COE bidding each month, I can safely say that Singaporeans LOVE their cars. The days of “cheap” COEs are now history. With the current sky high COEs and revised car mortgage laws, it now not practical to get a new ride every 3-5 years.
More car owners would have to drive their steed of steel for far longer than they would like to. Or should I say they have no choice haha.

In such an “automotive climate”, it’s only prudent that car owners adopt a preventive rather than corrective approach in their car maintenance. Keeping the car in tip-top condition is wiser and usually cheaper than coughing out heaps of hard earned money for repairs.
And central to an excellent care regime is a proven engine lubricant paired with car maintenance professionals. This is where the Mobil One Car Care Network comes in by giving motorists seeking premium car care services at reasonable costs.
We were recently invited on a tour to learn some first hand tips and to see how such services would prolong the life of your vehicle.

Some Car Care Tips
- Air-conditioning temperature should NOT be set below 20’C to avoid overworking the compressor. It would reduce the life span of compressor and negatively impact petrol consumption.
- Brake fluid tank, radiator tank and power steering tank should be checked weekly to ensure there is sufficient inside to keep the engine running at an optimum level.
- Signs to tell if your battery life is low – reduced music volume from radio, dimming of headlamps and interior lights and difficulty in cranking when starting.
- A humming or rattling noise could indicate signs of weariness on wheel bearings or control arms.
- It is advisable to warm up the engine for 2-3 minutes during its first start up in the morning (before moving off) to maximize on engine longevity. The wear and tear in the engine is the highest at this juncture.
- New cars should be run-in properly during the initial phase before attempting harsh high-rev driving. Rounds per minute (RPMs) should ideally be kept below 3000rpm, to reduce the wear & tear and prolong the vehicle’s life.
