    i would still do an oil change every 5k, but will downgrade to a semi synth oil, para di naman ganung kamahal.
    sa akin, di bale ng gumastos sa change oil intervals kesa sa mamroblema sa makina.

    Teka, what do you mean FC oil? Fully conventional? Less than 5K din ako in 6 mos on my 2002 1.8G altis and anually ako mag oil change using FS (Fully Synthetic).

If need be, you can buy an original overhaul kit (gaskets and the like) from shops like Toyorama, Celica, Aerodymanic, Gant, etc. (Banawe, Aranata Ave, Masangkay or Pasay areas) and these should be reasonable.Have a mechanic first open the engine and drop the oil pan to clean it.

    Even if the car is not used often, make it a practice to change the oil once or twice a year. It would save you in the long run and will only cost you 1K+ at your gas station.
    sir may i ask how much to undergo compression test?mine kasi is nagbabawas ng langis..

    With regards sa valve cover, yung buong cover pinalitan? if gasket lang kase like sir sirkosero said...impossible walang oem or replacement nyan...and dapat bnew gamitin kung papalitan.
    sir pwede malaman kung saan shop ka nagpa TOH or repair? yung altis ko kasi grabe magbawas ng oil e.

    when you are losing lube oil that fast, the first thing you will have to check is the PCV system. these are routine maintenance procedures that are often missed and people tend to prescribe overhaul even if it was neglect or derelict maintenance. do the routine procedures first. most shops are hungry for cash even how minor the symptom is, they prescribe the most revenue producing jobs taking advantage of people's ignorance

    Hi sir,

    Any recommended mechanic or shop na expert sa pag dismantle ng ZZ engine? I'm planning to have my altis 1.8G, na pa overhaul due to oil sludge:

    If you are near fairview, look for Ryan Marcelo's dadudz autofix. He is the moderator of toyota vios maintenance in FB

    Lots of vios owners have their cars serviced and overhauled there and seems he knows his stuff in toyota engines.

    Granted yours is an altis, i doubt there are glaring differences in how it is overhauled.

    krudo lang gina gamit kong flushing oil. twice a year ko ginagawa. wala talagang sludge ang sasakyan. di ako naniwala na lulutong ang seals dahil lang sa krudo. halos lahat ng trucking at taxi companies, yan ang ginagawa.
