how much is your gas spending before?
how much do you spend now?

b4 tuneup 1,200/wk now 2k/wk

The question isn't what the name of the oil is, but the weight.

For example, if you go from 10w40 to 20w50, you will notice a difference.

And, as for the spark plugs, what specific model of NGK? If the spark plugs are too high or too short, this may affect engine power and consumption.

10w50
as for spark plugs...not sure on the specifics basta ngk platinum

Aside from the change of oil and A/F. Did they adjust anything else e.g. idling, timing advance/delay, air/fuel mixture, valve clearance?

Bumilis at responsive ba yung performance ng car after?

[macho palito]

adjusted valve tappets...also had the distributor oil seal & gasket replaced...tumatagas kasi langis dun sa part na yun...ska nung ni road test ko bumabagsak idling kaya pinataas ko konte

[userfriendly]

possible kaya na mali ang adjustment ng valve?

[4JGtootsie]

Nag TDC#1 ba sila ng before puling out your distributor?
My suspect is they did not get the timing correct when they returned the distributor. This is the reason also na bumaba ang idling after the job, increasing it will not correct the timing. Wild guess lang po sir.

puwede din na nasobrahan ang adjust sa idling

hi guys,

have the same problem. i own a 97 honda accord VTI-S, automatic. i used to experience between 6 to 7 km to a liter, and slightly below 6 whenever i drive aggressively. about 2 1/2 years ago, i installed the khaos gas saving device. i noticed that my consumption just averaged around 6 km to a liter. i used it for a year and then removed it. last year, after i had it tuned up sa casa, i noticed that my consumption even went below 6. it was now averaging about 5.5 km to a liter, hindi pa mabigat yung paa ko nyan. i normally have my car checked and tuned-up sa casa. two months ago, after my last tune up, i noticed that my consumption is now below 5 km to a liter.

casa changes spark plugs every 10,000 km and changes oil every 5,000 km. i use their spark plugs and oil. the oil they put in my car is Honda genuine oil 10 w 30.

ano kaya ang cause ng increased consumption? is it the oil? kung hindi naman oil, may problema na kaya yung makina ng kotse ko? timing lang kaya ang problema? any ideas where i can have these items checked aside from casa?

10w50 shoot! kaya lumakas

tinaas mo rin pala idling, lalakas nga consumption mo. may reason kung bakit bumabagsak idling. pa repair mo na lang raising the idling higher than normal will not solve the problem

[puroy]

ska nung ni road test ko bumabagsak idling kaya pinataas ko konte

here's the culprit. saka baka mali yung pagbalik ng distributor o-ring mo. hth

[macho palito]

may chance ba na mali pagbalik distributor ko kaya malakas sa gas? e dba pag mali yun, papalya car ko? binalik ko na nga sa shop na pinagpagawaan ko para icheck baket lamon sa gas, they tried fixing the timing pero parang ganun pa dn consumption ng gas.

baka meron kayo ma suggest na magaling na shop sa alabang/las pinas area kung san ako pde pa tono..tnx
