    4.5 liters including oil filter. you should be there when they work with it. but if the smoke you have is really bluish and smoke burns your eyes, it's probably engine problem.(though some burned syn oil doesn't smell or colorize much at all)



    more 2ct specs

    Yep I was there when they poured the engine oil.

    I was just thinking that the engine might need more than 5 Liters of oil.

    If you pour in more than the manual recommends, the extra oil will just get burned off in the engine until the oil level returns to "F" or "H" on the dipstick.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I've just poured another can of oil. When I measured it again, the oil level is just above the "L" marker. The oil might be not be completely settled yet. Will try again at about 8:00 pm

    present! top ovberhaul lang po nangyari sa akin.. see my sig..

    bent head gasket... sa akin kaya overheating lalo na on power-drives, now ok na... just finished re-grounding-->kaya pala may mis-starts lite ko!sinamahan pa ng sliding a/t....pero awa ng dyos, di pa ko nakaranas ng ganyan....eto, can push 80kph na.. but still under observation...

    hay, a/c & cooler box, tail gate garnish at power curtain nalang ang di ko pa narerestore..

    kung malaki ang damage mo, 20-30thou na(maaring may machine works ka-->mga di mo maiiwasan i-pamachine works kahit bumili ka ng surplus 2c-t engine: valve clearance, seating, lapping...and head check for cracks and bents.)

    i think mas ok pa mag-change engine ka nalang-->3c-turbo! tapos pabuka mo lang yung top(cylinder head) para masilip mo kung may palitin... ang magagastos mo sa overhaul ng 2c-t, di sulit, kaya palit 3c-t mo nalang.. and dont forget to change the timing belt..its a no.1 priority lalo na kung bibili ka ng surplus makina na may t-belts......

    sakit ng 2c-t ay oil seals, kadami...di ko pa sure kung may valve adjuster ang 3c-t.. kc ang 2c-t wala kaya sa machine shop mo lang pwede pa-clearance...

    naranasan ko na onetime yung yellow oil-pressure warning--nung sa baguio ako, inclined->kulang pala ang oil!

    pero common guage ng lite-turbo diesel ganito:


    lahat yan common, except for: 4wd, TEMS, indicator

    not lit: heater(mabilis kasi,e...) high-beam, 4wd indicator, isa na forgot ko

    pero makisawsaw po lang:

    ayun sa pics ko, now, cold starting po ko ngayon (in the morning) temp guage is up on the low level, normal yun, diba? ang fuel guage di bumababa, diba?

    I have a good news guys.

    My mom just called up and informed me that she called a mechanic who was able to determine that the oil filter is broken. The oil filter that is installed on our car is "Osaka" brand which he said is a fake. Which resulted to the oil gradually leaking out.

    Nakahinga rin ako ng malalim ^_^


    Pero di ko alam bakit walang marka sa ilalim ng sasakyan.

    A fake oil filter cause an L in the oil level? Hmmm... Do you have the right dipstick for that engine model?

    your smoke is still not explained... that's a sign something is not right.

    Up ko lang 'tong thread para di na ako gumawa.

    Ganito din nangyari sa akin, mga 2000km pa lang tinakbo since oil change, tapos kanina umaga nasa L na yung oil. Actually napapansin ko na since oil change na bumababa gradually yung oil level. I will yet check the smoke, but my plan in case ok naman yung smoke, is to add oil na lang to increase the oil level.

    Is this ok, or do I need a complete oil change? If ok, can I use a different oil brand, or dapat pareho?

    Also, related kaya to sa biglang paglamig ng panahon?
