5KM PMS - no change oil???

**cardo** · January 15th, 2004 01:02 AM

gen2 rav4 peeps... may tanong ako... when you had your 5k PMS nagchange oil ba kayo? sa kin ndi eh... the service advisor said sa 10k na lang daw since fully synthetic yun 1k pms ko... all i paid was inspection of hoses, lights etc... php44.00 lahat yun bill ko... nag pa PMS pa nko nyan noh? kung sisilipin lang naman pala.

hindi naman sayang yung trip mo... manufacturers usually include inspections in routine maintenance intervals. mas okay na na kumpleto yung service records mo and at least kampante ka na walang problema yung sasakyan mo hehe

although keep in mind that the oil-change interval is 10,000 km OR 6 months (it could be 12 months though, check your manual)

hoonga eh... yun lang yun consolation ko dun... atleast sa warranty booklet kumpleto records nya... kaso lang parang kulang... dati kase (with my old car) every 5k kms nagchachange oil ako...

kaso parang silip lang yun ginawa nila...

oh well...

OKs lang yun cardo. Its a good thing honest and hindi mukhang pera service advisor mo. ano ba naman yung palitan niya oil na hindi naman kailangan.

sir pajerokid sayo ba ndi 5K km ang interval?

simula sa akin nung 1K, bring your own oil ako (duda ako sa mga tatak ng oil na gamit nila)... havoline energy gamit ko so every 5K ang palit ko...

oks kayang mag fully synthetic tayo for the rav4? or may caltex sport (oil specifically for SUVs)? malapit na ako magpa 20K checkup kasi...

btw, sa manual nakalagay ang pinaka optimal na oil for the 1AZ-FE (2.0L) is 15W-40, while for the 1ZZ-FE (1.8L) is 5W-30.

kung every 10K ang palit, medyo mas makakatipid ka sa oil change labor and oil filter. pero parang iniisip ko na mas ok nang magpalit every 5K ng oil filter kaysa hintayin ko pang mag 10K at maipon ang dumi...

pissword, racket lang naman ng mga casa yung every 5k papalitan ng oil lalo na pag synthetics. Sa diesel nga 8k kms ang change oil pag full synth, sa gas pa

**pissword** · January 15th, 2004 05:16 PM

sabi nga din ng kapatid ko if 5K lang din naman ako mag papalit, mineral nalang daw ang oil lang gamitin ko hehehe pero wala nakasanayan na ang synth eh... btw magpapalit siguro ako ng mobil1 na din, bring my own oil??

ganu pala karami ang dadalhin?

mga 6months yun 5k kms sa kin... kung every 10k kms, parang every year lang ang change oil ko... ok lang ba yun? di ba masyadong matagal? more or less 1k kms every month yun natatakbo ko, minsan 500kms lang...
