Read your owner's manual. It would give you a general idea on what the PMS maintenance intervals per category.

its normal. the green stuff is coolant.
but then again, if you want to be sure, you can have the cooling system flushed. use coolant.

.

yup. pwede dun. minimal lang ang cost of labor nyan, baka mga 500 lang. but of course, you would have to purchase coolant.... mga 1-1.5 liters siguro.

If you change your coolant, mas okay gamitin na yung Toyota Long Life coolant (color red); you can buy this off the counter at the Toyota CASA if you want.

anong reading sa RPM nung naramdaman mo yung nginig?

**vinj** · January 9th, 2014 09:33 AM

^ Does the nginig come out when your transmission is on neutral or on drive?

**KrisVios04AT** · January 9th, 2014 09:48 AM

Both Nuetral and Drive medyo nanginginig pero mas malakas ng onti yung nginig pag naka D tapos traffic
normal kasi akong stuck sa D kahit naka red light or traffic , so i tried i nuetral nung sa Red light , medyo humina yung nginig yung rpm ba yun yung parang signal line sa Digital Dashboard ? sorry noob hehe
