2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Mga sirs! FYI: I confirmed with Chevy-GH na yung AcDelco dexos2 nila na synthetic blend is a fully synthetic oil kaya they recommend the next oil change after 10k kms.

Ayun naman pala eh! So fully synthetic nga talaga yang AC Delco 5W30 dexos compliant oil

Then if acdelco 2 is a full synthetic as what they claimed they should stop using the word " blend", kasi I know, you know full synthetic & blend are completely not the same.....

Magtatanong lang po if anybody here installed Tire Pressure Monitoring System?
- Is the TPMS display included in the HU? What HU maker?
- Cost of above. (HU and TPMS)

Had this in my fortuner and planning to install it as well in TB.

TPMS is separate from the HU. I don't know the price of the TPMS but the OEM DVD/GPS I know its price. It's 38k pesos with reverse camera at Goldcars Banawe. It's our group buy price. It is made by Smart-i of Singapore, commissioned by Chevrolet Philippines. Here is the pic:

For me, Motul is still the best brand for the fully 100% synthetic engine oil. That is why, if it's available, I will use Motul Specific dexos2 5W30.
Actually, I'm using Motul H-Tech 100 Plus for my 2009 Ford Focus and I'm changing oil every 10k (almost every year) even I am running my car for a max of 200 kph.

wow 190, so incorrect ang info na 180 max speed for 4x4? or may speed limiter sila or something? hehe

Actually the announced top speed in Thailand is 190 kph.

My ex-Pajero has one, my strada has one, I think in winterpine they are expert in installing this gadget, cost not so much, actually as of now m not giving much attention on it, lumalabas na parang decoration na lang unless it gives the alarm.

If you are really itching for the top speed of TrailB, there is a good paved road walang masyadong mga sasakyan try the road from Sampaloc to Sumulong
coming from the big tall Virgen Regina statue, even mob phone signal can't penetrate, plus the scenery is beautiful " Tranquilo"

*numbah5, RTS - Thanks for the above info. In Toyota TPMS it has a separate display and alarms at hi press of 40psi and low press of 20 psi and cost about 13,500php.. For me I found this useful, life saving and save my time for checking all my tires. Had experienced also of finding out with flat tire after roaming around the mall just because of a nail embedded in it and didn't check the pressure before we left.

Meron accessory shop in Makati that installs tire monitoring system (Pressure & Temperature) at a price lower than the one mentioned. Personally though I prefer the old way of checking the tires and it will not entail so much time. Since the monitoring system uses radio waves and electronic monitor it will just be an added maintenance item.

For maintenance, been used for 3 yrs but no problem encountered and battery life is 8 yrs as per manual. The pressure reading is periodically compared with manual gauge and found exactly the same.

Anyway my wife told me that one chevy dealer (Quezon ave if I'm not mistaken) that they had HU with TPMS ready and much better if it is original chevrolet accessories just like TMP.

That HU being offered by Chevrolet Quezon Avenue is an aftermarket HU made by AVT. It's better to get the OEM DVD/GPS HU as it is integrated into the dash panel and the screen is bigger.

Re: TPMS. You can source the TPMS from the Banawe shops and Winterpine. I just don't know where it would be installed on the TrailB.

really? this is with A/C on... and I believe i might be able to squeeze 10-20kph since im not floored yet... maybe its because of the fuel??

[jonzjitsu]

Keep in mind if you want to reach top speed and ASAP you fuel should only be less than 1/4 so the weight is reduced a lot, when I tested my fuel was more than 3/4ths that's why I kept running out of road + a lot of drivers here in the Philippines are uneducated e.g. Overtaking lane only becomes a regular lane that people would camp at(nandun Lang sila) however you flash or sound your horn at them they stay there. Also our trailB is big and high therefore takes a lot of drag. But even so this SUV is a beast and is worthy of the title New king of the mid sized SUV.

I put on petron diesel turbo this afternoon I don't know why but when I was going to accelerate, my wheel spun... Yes umiyak na parang bumitaw haha... Maybe there was much sand on NLEX Mindanao exit?? Crazy... Wasn't able to check top speed kasi a ko si commander haha
