Fuel Treatment

[mcbry]

ask ko lang coz' during our 1st 5000 kms pms nakita ko sa job order ng casa na kailangan daw lagyan ng fuel treatment yung altis namin. tinanong ko sa SA if this is necessary and he said na kailangan nga raw. hindi naman ni explain why kailangan ito. tanong ko lang if this is really necessary? if necessary then how often do they need to put this fuel treatment? nasa php500+ yung fuel treatment ng casa.

imho, hindi.
dahil may sarili ng additives and cleaners ang mga fuel natin dito ngayon eh.

Ideally no, because your car if in top shape should not require supplements to help it get by. Some treatments can actually do more harm than good if it wasn't necessary and yet they still used it. They should have told you first before anything else. Otherwise if anything goes bad with the engine sagot nila yan.

Is your car having problems with anything fuel related?

Better if you buy those fuel injector cleaners/fuel treatment additives sold in Ace Hardware stores. Less than P200 per bottle. Pour and forget.

At 5k mileage, I dont think you really need it yet, not unless you've used contaminated gasoline which clogged the fuel lines and injectors.

IMO, its just another money-making scheme by the casa.

thanks for the infos, guys. actually, this is just the 2nd time ako nag pa pms sa casa. una yung 1st 1k then eto yung 2nd ang 5k pms. the SA didn't explain yung mga gagawin sa kotse during 5k pms. buti nalang nag tanong ako. kaso hindi naman na explain ng maayos. they even had the engine flash pero pinatanggal ko rin kasi no need narin yun. yung hindi ko lang alam is yung fuel treatment kaya hindi ko napatanggal. wala naman problem altis namin related sa fuel.

thanks for the advise. next time i won't be using that fuel treatment.

racket talaga yan ng casa. nadali din ako nung 1st 1000km check up. pinadala ko lang sa driver. nilagyan ba naman ng fuel treatment at may engine flush pa 1000 kms pa lang

sa 5000 kms bilin ko no fuel treatment and no engine flush. wala namang sinabi yung SA.

That's another reason why I stopped brining my car to the Toyota casa. They add this "fuel treatment" thing without even asking for my permission or notifying me in advance. Makikita mo na lang sa bill mo.

pero pag under warranty no choice ka unless you want to kiss your warranty goodbye Best you can do is to tell them not to put it in.

I am the one bringing my car sa casa for PMS. one time pinadala ko sa driver, Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic ba naman pinalagay na oil worth P2400. na-sales talk siguro ng service advsor. tapos engine wash pa, rustproofing (undercoat...), carbon clean... sales pitch.

Fully Synthetic ilalagay tapos palit oil filter sa susunod na 5k check up and 1li. top-up daw na mobil1 worth P600. nanaman... ayus!

thanks guys sa mga feedback regarding this fuel treatment. atleast now i know na hindi pala talaga ito kailangan. pag nag pa pms sa casa sinasabi ko rin no engine flush, no car wash and engine wash.

Not necessary.

Grabe yang Toyota [like most other dealerships] daming raket. Brake cleaner, fuel treatment, oil flushing, etc.

Just do the work called for in the owner's manual. Otherwise, nagkakalokohan na lang kayo.

That's why I used to print out my own job orders when I had vehicles serviced at the dealership. Sabi ko yung nakasulat lang sa pinrint ko ang gagawin niyo. Otherwise call me up first.

San casa yan sir? Sa Toyota Cubao, ganyan ang practice. Madugas mga SA dun. Kung di mo reviehin yung job order, ang dami nakasingit: engine detailing, fuel additive, ,etc. May commission siguro mga SA dun.

[niky]

That's complete bull. Sa Ford, they won't even scratch their noses without calling up my cellphone and asking permission... :lol:

i only use the motul fuel system clean... it seems to work kasi tumipid ako sa gas after using it.

sa toyota dasmarinas, cavite. dapat nga talaga i-review ng mabuti yung job order na ginagawa ng SA to make sure ng yung mga hindi necessary hindi na masama pa sa gagawin.
