2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer

[steer]

Hi guys! I had a meeting with Chevrolet Philippines' AVP for Service and Aftersales Lito S. Landicho this afternoon at the main office of TCCCI. Here's what he told me:

- owner's manual are already available since last week. *steer, *RTS, *novice12 and *safala; please coordinate with your respective SAs re: owner's manual.

- The Colorado and the Trailblazer should only use a fully synthetic engine oil that is CI-4 or higher, and is Dexrose II complaint. You can also use mineral oil. So far, only GM subsidiary AC Delco has formulated that fully synthetic engine oil. Stocks will be arriving in January and is priced at 800 pesos per liter.

- The 2.8 Duramax Diesel's engine oil capacity is 7 liters.

- Supply line will normalize by mid December.

- There are available accessories for the Trailblazer. Dealers have them.

- The Duramax Diesel engine uses Bosch CRDi.

- The 2 hidden additional tweeters of the LTZ variant of the Trailblazer is located at the headliner above the driver and passenger seats. It is integrated at the headliner so hindi mo siya mapapansin unless you put your ear there.

- The integrated DVD/GPS HU that I posted before will be the official optional DVD/GPS HU. Next year it might become standard equipment on all variants.

- There will be a 4x2 A/T variant that they will be launching at 2Q 2013 if GM Thailand gives them the green light.

- If we make a club, they are willing to become our sponsor.

Just spoke with SA Emma Chevy Makati, wala daw available na manual.

Good work *numbah5!

That should settle most of the questions we have on this thread

Hi guys. I don't think that there's a tweeter at for the rear speakers. I had my sound system set up yesterday at gold cars banawe. They were able to hookup the new head unit with the steering control.

The answer to that is the bolded sentence in my previous post. It was confirmed by the person in bold.

*novice12, what HU are you using? Does it have GPS?

Tell her Chevy Philippines' AVP for aftersales Lito Landicho told you that manuals are already available.

Yan sinabi ko, wala daw talaga, kahit yun new units na dumadating walang manual

[albert_b]

Baka naman sabi agad na wala, di pa muna naghahanap?

[safala]

*RTS and *numbah5,

At last, my TrailB's steering wheel control and bluetooth audio are woking now. It seems that elther the HU that they installed was not compatible with the SWC of the TrailB or it's just faulty. They replaced with another brand and it worked kaagad. My SA at Chevrolet North EDSA and the accessories shop people are so helpful and accomodating and really were on top of the problem until resolve.

Btw, I was shown a memo from TCCI that the PMS is at 5000 kms or 4 months whichever comes first. Also, they will use a mineral oil called Dexros 2 which is available only at the Chevrolet dealerships.

dexos 2 compliant ang oil na yan. No stocks available for the dexos 2 fully synthetic oil yet. Sa January pa raw darating. If you will be using dexos 2 fully synthetic oil, the PMS interval is 10,000 kms or 6 months whichever comes first. Si AVP for Service and Aftersales Lito Landicho nagsabi sa akin niyan.

BTW, kelan mo ba ililista pangalan mo sa list of TrailB owners?

Does PMS only include oil change?

Hi guys. I got my manual from Chevy otis this afternoon. :-)

[numbah5]

Wow congrats! Ngayon mapagaaralan mo na ang TrailB mo in an in-depth way can you take a look at its engine lubricants page? What viscosity and rating should we use? API CF or higher, or dexos 2?

Also, can you take a pic of your new headunit if its ok? Thanks in advance *novice12

Greetings to all the trailblazer owners, would like to know if it is already equiped with speed sensing doorlock.

[RTS]

None that I know, kasi wala pa akong owner's manual, but what I notice when you start moving , the lock automatically engage- RTS

During my Trailblazer test drive, I've noticed that when I put the selector lever to D, the doors lock themselves. When I put the lever to P, the doors unlock themselves.

Ayos yan para di na ilagay ng mga makukulit yun gear nila at P while in traffic

Thanks!! Buti pa trailblazer meron, sabi sa 4x 2 santa fe , need pa manually i-lock.

[albert_b]

Sana may way na manual ang unlocking ng doors and hindi sa P. Sometimes maghintay lang ako so I'll put it on "P".
