Sirs 1st PMS ba ng TBZ after 4 mo from purchase? then after nun every 6mo na if synthetic oil ang ginamit or 4mo pa din? sabi kasi sa amin ng chevy carmona every 4mo pa din change oil kahit synthetic gamitin. pano namin malaman kung synthetic nga un nilagay na langis?

i cannot answer your question directly but let me cite my experienced as an example. 1st pms ko is mineral oil ang nilagay which is mas mura.
2nd pms ko, last Aug 2013, fully synthetic na ang nilagay and of course mas mahal sya. but ang sabi nun casa ay, sa Dec 2013 PMS ko ay dagdag na lang ng oil then palit oil filter. bali sa April 2014 pa ako mag chachange oil. kung ganun nga ang mangyayari, the bad thing is hindi ko nakuha yun sobrang oil para yun na lang ang idagdag, so ngayon bibili pa ako. so ang advise ko kung mag fully synthetic ka, kunin mo un sobrang oil hehehe

but still, not sure pa din kasi now pa lang ako(2nd pms) nag fully synthetic, so sa Dec 2014 ko pa malalaman. pero I hope yun ibang owner ay makapag share ng kanilang exp

Wala sinabi yun chevy carmona na palit filter lang on next pms or 4mo. basta ang gusto nila every 4mo ang change oil synthetic o mineral ang gamitin. di ko din nakita kung synthetic sinalin nila or mineral kasi hindi daw pwede pumasok sa loob. may bad experience kasi kami sa toyota kaya gusto ko makita trabaho nila. sa mga nabasa ko kasi from previous post every 6mo ang oil change pg synthetic ginamit. sa ibang forums nga na nabasa ko once a year or 15k km ang pms nila.

Marami Trailblazer? Wala naman ah. Yung mga nakita mo, panay isolated case at konti lang yun. 3 isolated cases. Wag kang gumawa ng kwento. Masaya kaming Trailblazer Club members at mga fellow TB owners sa mga Trailblazer namin.

I smell paninira sa Trailblazer here.

Bakit kaya ang bilis ng maintenance sa Philippines? Yung sonic ko AT Gas ang service nya 30k km pa ang sabi ng dealer. Nung una ayaw ko maniwala pero halos lahat ng kilala ko na may kotse.. 30k daw talaga ang service. Di kaya negosyo lang ng mga dealers sa Philippines yan?

From what country are you referring to sir? Here in the Philippines, the reason why there are short intervals for PMS is the fuel quality. As you know, Philippine law states the use of Euro 2 standards for fuels, although the small oil companies are already using Euro 3-4 standard fuels. The problem nga lang, the small oil companies have fewer fuel stations than the Big 3 oil companies (Petron, Shell and Caltex), that is why the majority of motorists especially in the provinces tend to use the Euro 2 standard fuels of the Big 3.

Sorry I forgot to mention my location. I am in switzerland.
The sonic is my first brand new car and i do not know anything about car system maintenance. So pwede nga na nasa gasolina, pero kung sa shell lang mag pa gas? Lets say na certified euro3? Would it change anything? Kasi yung standards are for emissions naman diba?
At ibig sabihin mahal talaga ang gas sa philippines, kasi low quality na nga ang mahal pa.

Thanks!

Shell is still using Euro 2 standard fuels. No it won't change the PMS interval. Until the Big 3 oil companies here is still using Euro 2 standard fuels, PMS intervals are still shorter than countries using Euro 3-6 standard fuels.

i think hindi lang fuel ang factor, kasama din yung oil (synthetic, mineral)...

Umorder kami ng replacement headlight passenger side. P14,+++ sa Chevy Carmona. Hiningan kami ng 50% deposit. 1 week daw dadating yung headlight. After 1 week sabi nila 1 month daw pala. Pwede kaya namin bawiin yung deposit kasi parang niloloko kami. Sinabi nila na 1 week para lang makuha yung deposit.

You should be able to especially if it was agreed in writing.

Hello All,

Bago lang po ako dito and would like to ask if kamusta yung parts ng Chevrolet Cruze. Am planning to buy a 2nd hand sedan and am considering this car.

Thank you in advance.
