Hi bros

Just changed my ride to a 2008 Jazz. Was wondering whats a reasonable price for coolant flush and change to 4 X Iridium spark plugs?

I know that theres NGK, Denso, Bosch etc etc. But not too sure which particular models are good/bang for buck.

Appreciate any comments (:

*pardon if my questions too noob!

If the car is stock, then take NGK6 or Denso20 heat range good enough. If your radiator cap rubber seal area is not dirty with oily sludge, change coolant is good enough. No need to go extreme to waste money. All in should be around 100 +- depending the services that the workshop give to u. Normal coolant is good enough.

Hey bro, thanks for the reply!

Yes my car is stock and I dont have intention to zhng it haha. Any particular models that I should look out for?

I was looking at the Denso page, so many different models, confused haha

Hmmm it seemed like the previous owner didnt service his car regularly, guessed it from the super black engine oil and ATF, and a weird-coloured brake fluid. I wanted to flush both engine and gearbox for a peace of mind, but workshop didnt recommend it. They said just change oil and ATF will be good enough... Any comments? Thats why I wanted to flush coolant also leh. Not too sure if necessary.

Mind if you tell me how much for each of drain and topup to new coolant, and change of 4 X NGK/Denso sparkplugs? Like how much do each of these cost separately? Just wanna make sure I dont get chop.

Thanks so much!

Basic servicing and flushin is gd coz frm there ubkeep track of the mileage when to service.

Engine oil flush I use amsoil brand $18
New engine oil $80
Oem honda Oil filter $7
Denso iridium spark plug coz oem ones are denso iridium plugs.$60
Coolant flush I bought castrol $12
Coolant I use premix coolant mitsubishi $35
Atf fluid is very crucial on fit jazz engine use only honda hmmf or cvtf. One is made in japan the other is thailand. $42 and $75 every 2 engine oil change interval.
Brake fluid I use dot 4 or 5.1 only. I use blue ATE $25 I flush each time brakepad change.

All this parts available off the shelves at most stockist. Price quoted cash n carry coz I diy
