just follow the PMS (Preventive Maintenance Schedule) on your manual, if you still have it... if not take your car to a reputable shop and have them check your car and if they're honest enough they'll tell you all the things that needs to be done with your car, imho

there isn't much you can "tune" in a computer-controlled engine. just adjust the valve clearance as specified in the manual

changing filters, oil, etc isn't called a "tune up". it's called PMS

in the old tune-up packages of yesteryear, it included, among others, valve lash check and adjust, spark plugs check, clean and adjust (and put it back in the engine!), ignition timing check and adjust, distributor check, clean and adjust, and the walang kamatayang oil and filter change and air filter clean/change, and other fluids check (transmission oil, differential oil, brake and clutch fluid, windshield wiper liquid. . it also included, in some shops, option to brakes and tires check and clean (additional fees, of course).

with today's electronics-laden cars...

Sa car mechanic ko ang definition nya ng tune up ay change oil at throttle body cleaning at kung ano ano pa.

A friend of mine went to visit Hyundai and the mechanic there said that valve clearance and other things done with a tune up is no longer applicable. The reason is that the "computer" takes care of it.

I find it hard to believe. Even with large engines like MC690 (piston diameter is 900 mm) where almost everything is automated, you need to adjust a few things manually like fuel injection.

Not until I encountered this camless engine (no camshaft, timing is done through a hydraulic motor) where all adjustments are done in the computer screen.

Your/friend's problem right there hehehehe.

Kidding aside, I think kung within the allowable tolerance, yung computer na nga talaga yung bahala. Otherwise, a little adjustment of those things may be necessary.

Not a mechanic and won't pretend to be so I could be wrong.

I really think it's possible. As you have said, as long as within the allowable tolerance.

And this "problem"... well, my brother said that our father went there to replace his rotor for Santa Fe. I think that vehicle is 5 years old, more or less. What I have is CR-V 98, I don't remember replacing the rotor. I had it refaced but not replaced. Odometer reading is 200,000 and still runs.

Mabilis talaga maubos yung brake pads and rotors ng Hyundai kung ganun. We had the rotors on the Starex replaced once and the car was only at about 40K KMs. Yung ibang kotse namin umaabot na ng 100,000, hindi parin napapalitan. Same thing with the brake pads, ambilis kumain ng Starex ng pads.

It could be an issue or "Engineering Economy" was applied.
