Engine Oil and Filter Change in Ulu Tiram
Engine oil and filter replacement costs RM 100 for a small car or RM 150 for a large car and takes about 30 minutes. You book, the workshop inspects the oil and engine, quotes the work, and completes it the same visit in most cases.
How do you book an oil change from Ulu Tiram?
Call +60 11-3591 1335 or message via WhatsApp with your car model and registration number. Tell the workshop you are coming from Ulu Tiram so they can advise on timing. Work is fitted into the schedule when you are ready to arrive.
What happens when you arrive for the inspection?
The mechanic checks the current oil condition, oil level, and visible engine leaks. A sight check of the filter housing and drain area follows. Once the condition is clear, the cost is quoted before any oil or filter is removed.
Why would an oil change take two visits instead of one?
If the workshop discovers a significant oil leak during inspection, or if the correct oil specification for your car is not in stock, a return visit becomes necessary. Most oil changes finish on the same day once parts and specification are confirmed.
What makes the price move from RM 100 to RM 150?
Vehicle size and engine capacity determine the oil volume and filter type needed. Small cars like the Myvi or Axia use less oil; larger vehicles like the Hilux or CR-V require more. The workshop confirms your car size at booking.

Frequently asked questions
Does the oil specification matter for my car?
Yes. The engine manual or driver's door panel shows the correct viscosity, usually 5W-30 or 10W-40. Pungbrother uses the specification matched to your model. Using the wrong grade can reduce fuel economy or affect cold-start performance, so confirming it at booking prevents a second visit.
How often should you change the oil?
Check your owner's manual or the service reminder on the dashboard. Most cars need an oil change every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or annually, whichever comes first. If the reminder is on, the oil is dark, or the engine sounds louder than usual, an inspection is overdue.
What if the workshop finds a leak during the oil change?
The mechanic will show you the leak location and severity. Minor seepage around the filter housing can often wait for the next service. A significant leak dripping onto the road or from the sump needs repair. The workshop will quote that work separately from the oil change.
Can you drive to the workshop from Ulu Tiram and wait for the job?
Yes. Most oil changes are done within 30 minutes of work starting. Once the inspection and quote are approved, you can wait in or near the workshop. Confirm your arrival time on the phone so the team expects you and schedules accordingly.
