It was a fiat croma 1.9 turbo diesel. Additionally, I bought myself a used mini cooper s. When it reaches 10,000 km I told the company guy to do the servicing. He was puzzled, telling me they do not service the car until I return the car at the end of the year (they company change car every year). He says, with even heavy driving, the car will max average to about 30,000km at end of the year which is the recommended service interval. For my own purchase car, I brought it to an independent workshop for servicing when it reaches 10,000km. Again, the service guy was puzzled and told me it was to soon to service the car and thus refuse to do so. I end up servicing the car after 20,000km. I have never ever open up the company car bonnet ever since (not even to check water and battery) and have no problem at all for the last 5 years I was there.That being said, driving a car back in Malaysia I wouldn't dare stretching the service pass 10k. I guess weather play a major role. Plus I guess since car price doesnt cost an arm an a leg there, they do not care much of the cars as we do.</blockquote>
