Frequently asked questions
My car's service reminder came on in Hyderabad — how soon should I change oil?
Change the oil within 1,000 km of the service reminder coming on. In Hyderabad's stop-go traffic, oil degrades faster than the interval suggests — the engine runs hotter at idle, fuel dilution from short trips, and more frequent heat cycles all accelerate oil breakdown. Metre Per Second recommends synthetic oil for Hyderabad city driving — it resists breakdown better in high-heat conditions and provides better protection during the critical first 30 seconds of startup.
