pareng pissword,
yep same engine.. taka nga ako bakit ganun nakalagay sa 2k4 manual hehe.. pero yung RON rating dito sa pinas iba yun compared sa RON ng US. oversated yata yung sa pinas.

sabi dun sa 2k4 manual... "For all markets Except Africa use 95RON" kaya ayun Clatex gold gamit namin hehe

Yung cobra alarm Tawian copy ng Viper yun. better get Autopage na lang. At least pag autopage may service center available and hindi mahirap maghanap ng parts or remote kung sakali may masira.

yung Taiwan alarm kase ng Civic ko noon may nasira ayun tapon na lahat hehe.

WOW CONRATS APRIL RYAN!!!

actually hinihintay namin ang pagkakataon na ito para i congratulate ka!!! yohoo!!

back to querries

1. install car alarm, mahirap na, atleast may peace of mine ka ng kaunti. iwsan mo yung self locking, sakit sa ulo yun.
2. ok ang 3M tints mahal ng kaunti pero you get what you pay for.
3. i always use 95 ron for my 96 civic
4. pagtiisan mo muna ang speakers mo, baka mawalang bisa ang warranty mo if you dabble with wires, gets mo.

habang wala ka pang alarm, just use common sense, park youre car sa isang busy street or corner, never leave you keys kahit saglit lang, used the club or the like to sway away would be carnappers.

also get what freebies you can get at the dealer, baka naman free ang tint, alarm, floormats, LTO reg, EWD, a full tank of gas, ANYTHING!!!

yung mga alarams ngayon halos taiwan made na, mine is COBRA 2K lang yun, pero ok na.
disengaged mo lang ang self locking.

walang alarm na free, kaya magpapalagay na lang ako. already posted additional questions regarding car alarms and car tints in the appropriate threads. sana maraming sumagot

sir supierreman pwede kasi namin utangin eh hahaha

and alam ko isasama sya sa keyless entry ng car so walang bagong remote na gagamitin.

kimpOy,

what does "self-locking" mean?

**kimpOy** · March 22nd, 2004 01:00 PM

AR,
eto ang mga alarm na naglo-lock mag isa after 30 seconds or so.

AR, did select the RAV4 out of pure lust?

kimpOY,

Read your owner's manual.

Always choose your fuels by RON category:

96 RON
Petron Blaze

95 RON
Shell Velocity
Caltex Gold

93 RON
Petron Unleaded
Shell Unleaded
Caltex Silver

I'm sure your manual recommends using 95 RON fuels. In that case, its Shell Velocity or Caltex Gold (depending on your budget and promximity to station). Its best to follow this.

But if your gas budget is tight, then go for 93 RON na lang. Cheaper cost/tank, better fuel economy (km/L), but heavier-feeling acceleration and possible engine "knocking" sound.

If engine knocking exists, then its better to stick to the recommended 95 RON.

As for 96 RON, feeling ko luho na lang yan. Sa taas naman ng mga presyo ngayon...

Don't use Petron XCS or Shell Premium Unleaded (red). They're for older cars (with lead valve seats or without catalytic converter) and therefore NOT APPROPRIATE for your RAV4.

Lastly, Shell gasolines are now formulated with a "Better Mileage" formulation. Try it. It could help stretch your tank of gas!

hi stormrider!

good to hear from you here also. regarding the manual, i will read it. pero bukas ko pa lang kasi makukuha yung RAV4. just wanted the input of current RAV owners.

**pissword** · March 24th, 2004 12:30 AM

i think 89 ron lang ang sa manual po.. sorry wala kasi dito yun manual, but ang alam ko even escape and crv super unleaded lang pwede na.. sobra na nga yung 93 ron
