[yapoy86]

I had my 1st PMS ( Chevy North) last saturday milage registered KM 3,800 almost 5 months in use, here my expenses :
Fuel System Flushing additives P 803.40
Engine Flush 504.00
Brake Paste ???? 160.00
7 ltrs ACDelco Dexos2 *780/ltr 5460.00
Brake Cleaner 235.00
Oil Filter 755.00
Wind Screen Cleaner 160.00
Sundries 500.00
LABOR 1314.00
TOTAL ++++++++ 9891.00

The TrailB was cleaned & shining again, by the way I learned from the Technical Supervisor that we can't use the EXCEL Motolite Battery due to difference sa terminal, sa trailB has two terminal for positive & negative plus extra for reverse( I don't know what is this). Life span of our EOM battery about 1 1/2 years daw ?????

RTS's 1st PMS with his Strada costs much more than that according to him when we chatted over the phone a few days ago. According to him, his Mitsubishi casa charged him 11k pesos for the 1st PMS of his Strada, same as my Montero Spirt.

Most of the big cars, especially SUV is within that range ang expenses ng 1st PMS, about those minors adds on I can rebuff, kaya Iang I am also considering that what if nagka problema sa banda riyan, then the casa can make excuses kasi ganito, ganyan etc. Kagaya ng engine flush this was a discussion I raised to the Tech. dept supervisor sabi ko ang mga experts are discouraging to use engine flush but kayo are insisting, partly my point siya dahil mineral oil base ang unang gaginamit kaya its recommended to flush the old engine oil plus sediments .

Hi RTS, did you notice a big improvement in engine performance when you switched from mineral to dexos2 FS?

Kung meroon mang pagbabago it cud be the engine noise, medyo naging refined & uniform ang ingay, From then & now I feel that the engine is very smooth & responsive, hindi ko na rin nadidinig ang wife ko always praising the strada above TrailB kundi "mukhang OK na OK na si TrailB

I noticed that cost of oil filter from the casa ranges from 715 to 755 pesos, I currently have tons of oil filters i need to dispose. These are compatible with Chevrolet and Opel cars, (M18X1.5 thread) Just in case anyone is interested just ping me

gaya nga ng sabi ng mga ibang owners, mas uniform na yun sound
for fuel consumption, for me same lang.
response? i can't feel ano difference kasi malakas talaga before and after

one thing i noticed, yesterday nun nag full tank ako sa unioil mind ave, ang tagal umangat nun gas gauge!
unlike before, pag ON/Start ng engine ayun na, updated or nag rreflect agad.
yun kahapon naka uwi na ako dito sa amin at na-park ko nga almost 3/4 pa lang.
i bet na pag ginamit ko now,aangat pa din sya hahaha

anyone who had same exp/problem?
