Do we really have to change oil every 6 months for low mileage cars?

papi pag under warranty pa "whichever comes first" yan to preserve your warranty. so kahit di mo ginamit ng 6 months, zero mileage ka during that time, ipapasok mo pa din for PM just to have your service booklet stamped by the casa.

i have a new car at ang sabi ni honda 10k KMs or 6 months which ever comes first.

twice a year PMS only! sabi ng honda

malabo ako maka 10k KMS by june. Ang ending ipasok ko pa din dahil 6 months na.

if i follow by mileage will they take it against me if i will claim for warranty?

shift to my brand and my casa.
i have no problems with them, even if i change oil every 5000K.. it takes me a year to reach that.
you can imagine, i did only 15K when the engine warranty expires after 3 years..
heh heh.

It may be ok with them until you make a claim for warranty for engine problem, have you?

Parehas tayo. 6 months yung sinusunod ko dahil pag mileage sinunod ko at idahilan nila yun pag mag claim ako ng warranty, patay na ayan na sakit ng ulo

Simple lang naman yan. Kung brand new car at under warranty pa, follow the regulation of the casa. Normally, "whichever comes first" ang basis nyan.

Kung tapos na warranty, discretion na ng owner kung ano gusto nya gawin. Refer to Oil Change Interval chart on page 1.

I checked my warranty booklet for my Kia. Dalawa lang naman conditions that will void my warranty.

"The following conditions will render the warranty Void:
1. Failure to have the prescribed preventive maintenance service of your vehicle for every 5,000 km (diesel) or 7,500 km (gasoline) interval.
2. In case of engine performance problems, failure to have your vehicle serviced or repaired by an authorized Kia dealer."

Wala naman mention na mavoid warranty ko kung di ko ipasok every six (6) months. hehehe Tapos kung "engine performance problems" kailangan casa magrepair. Other matters pwede pagawa sa labas. hehehe

Just follow po yung 5000KMS change oil period.

Low mileage din kami, once a year lang mag-palit ng engine oil, minsan lagpas 1yr, (max of 1yr and 6months)

saka use the fully synthetic oil, kahit approved for 10K KMS period for change oil, instead of 10K PMS, sa 5K PMS ang change oil period.

Before using the vehicle, during cold startup, warm up the engine until na umabot sa normal temp before driving.
(bihira gamitin) and once in a while, kailangan din biritin yung engine/transmission ng maximum RPM, (wag lang redline) para ma-exercise yung engine, at ma-fully lubricate din yung engine internals by means of maximum oil pressure (perform with safety caution) and also, same din sa transmission.

pag dating naman sa under-chassis lalo sa mga bearing at brake system, kailangan mag-repack lalo pag nalusob sa baha and dapat sundin yung 6months time period PMS both under-chassis at brakes, lalo kung bihira gamitin, tendency is mag-stuck up yung mga bearing dahil sa accumulated dirt particles at rust.
