    Hello,

    Just bought a 1999 GSR with 60k milage (legit since kilala ko may ari).

    the story, regular ang change oil every 5k , spark plugs are changed last 2010.

    for sure : balak ko na mag palit ng timing belt (tama naman po diba).

    wondering : spark plugs since kakapalit lang so 50/50 ako


    ano pa po ba mga sir ang magandang ipa check ? or palitan ?

    Spark plugs are ok na hindi palitan. Papalya naman yan kung may bumigay.

    What I would say is, change all fluids, from coolant, ps fluid, brake fluid, engine oil, etc. Standard practice yun for second hand.

    PS is power steering fluid.

    Palit ka na rin ng transmission oil

    Well if you trust the person that sold you the car, pwede hindi na engine oil. I don't trust anyone selling 2nd hand kaya I do those para sure and may basis na ko kung kelan change fluids. O ya, tama pati gear oil (m/t) or atf (a/t) palit na rin.

    Yes, if the car is old, baka may build up na sa radiator. Mura lang naman, around 500 to 1000 php Palinis.

    Cguro mas maganda since kilala mo may ari ask mo kung may records sya ng mga maintenance done, if all the fluids were replaced within the past year or 10,000kms then no need to change any of them immediately.

    Sa pyesa less than 2k lahat fluids... Labor, mga 1k siguro. 100 per wheel bleeding ng brakes.

    Ask the owner na rin sa fuel filter, hose, or anything na pinalitan na Naalala niya.

    Don't forget to get the owners manual from him kung hawak pa nya. 100% sure ako andun nakalagay scheduled maintenance para sa 5K, 10K , 20K , etc.

    Most of the time this is the very neglected piece of document... andun na lahat ng reference on what to check kadalasan kintatamaran lang ng may ari basahin kaya tanong ng tanong sa mga repair shops on what to do.

    Kadalasan dapat sa second hand is automatic na dapat change all fluids... para may point of reference ka kung kailang mo susunod na gagawin based on schedule and by knowing what to schedule at least maayos mo rin target budget mo for preventive maintenance kaysa abutin ka pa ng major problem.

    Congrats on your GSR :-)

    GMB... and i don't think GMB should cost 3K. Check mo kay Best Colt.

    Baka mabigla ka sa gastos niyan. Timing belt lang palitan mo at record mo yun mileage para next time alam mo kung kelan ka uli magpalit. Hwag na muna palitan yun water pump kung wala naman problem. Then gamitin mo lang yun kotse then observe na kung meron pa uli ibang problem.

    Kesa magpalit ka ng water pump. Palit ka na lang spark plug since 2010 pa iyon . Mura lang spark plug. Magulat ka mag improve performance ng engine mo.
