4 Myths About Car Servicing You Should Stop Believing

Car Servicing

Whether you drive a family sedan or a weekend performance car, regular servicing keeps your vehicle running smoothly and safely.

Yet, many Singapore car owners still fall for common myths that can lead to unnecessary wear, costly repairs, or even safety risks.

Myth #1: “I only need to service my car when there’s a problem.”

The truth: By the time you feel a problem, damage has often already been done.

Regular servicing helps identify early signs of wear like low fluids, weak batteries, or gearbox issues before they become major issues. Think of it like a health check-up for your car and prevention is always cheaper than cure.

Myth #2: “All workshops are the same.”

The truth: Not all workshops offer the same level of expertise, equipment, or parts quality.

Some use generic fluids or outdated diagnostic tools that can affect your vehicle’s long-term performance.

At TT Motorsport, we use modern diagnostic systems and ensure every job meets professional standards from oil changes to full gearbox overhauls.

Myth #3: “Engine oil is just engine oil.”

The truth: Using the wrong engine oil can shorten your engine’s life.

Different engines require specific oil grades for optimal lubrication and temperature control.

That’s why we only use high-quality synthetic oils for their superior protection and extended service life keeping your engine clean and efficient under Singapore’s hot climate.

Myth #4: “ Gearbox doesn’t need fluid changes.”

The truth: Gearbox relies on clean, high-quality fluid to function properly.

Over time, transmission fluid breaks down and loses its ability to protect the belt and pulleys leading to jerky acceleration, clutch slip, or even gearbox failure.

A regular transmission fluid change can save you thousands in repair costs down the road.

Conclusion

Car servicing doesn’t have to be confusing or expensive and it’s about giving your car the attention it deserves.

At TT Motorsport, our team ensures every vehicle gets professional care using trusted parts and fluids. Whether it’s a quick oil change or a full gearbox overhaul, we’ve got you covered.
