casa recommends( actually blackmails you) into adhering to 5k OCI... even with fully synthetics being used on your engine, kasi nga its business... the more they service the vehicle the better it is for their income statements...

fleetguards, baldwin, wix,purolator... champion labs who make crazy good filters, how come car manufacturers don't use those products? how come manufacturers wont ask champion labs to make good filters for them?

kasi nga pag maganda nilagay nila at tatagal ang interval, liliit kita nila....
the casa are selling their service parts for a price that's not even close to being realistic....

imagine this, 4 years ago the price of brake pads (front only) for the everest at ford Q.AVe is around 2000 pesos, last week i inquired it was now priced at 9000 pesos!!!! ( mas mahal pa sa EBC at tanabe racing pads ampucha!!!)
