    X1R oil treatment?!?!?!

    I see the Toyota casa is still up to their old tricks...


    Engine flush (?), engine room cleaner (?) (prob. just some degreaser), engine room coat (?), Bactaklenz, decarbonizing??? Andami padding na cr*p stuff you don't really need.

    Also, brake fluid for P240.85 each bottle? You can get almost 1 LITER of Prestone brake fluid na for that price...

    7 hours to replace the ignition coils/
    4 hours to replace the vlave cover gasket?
    they've got to be the slowest moving employees

    when you replace the vlve cover gasket, you need to remove/reinststall the ignition coils anyway.
    the total time should not exceed two hours for a skill lever c


    don't buy all the unnecessary items/services they offer. stick to the recommended service items in the owner's manual

    Cathy ... have a flatbed tow truck (why are they still called TOW trucks?) bring your car to ULS or whoever is willing to help you ... it's going to cost much, much cheaper and the work done will be much, much better ... that 7 hour labor charge alone is worth more than the towing service ...

    PULL THE COROLLA out of casa ...

    6.antifreeze/coolant
    7.battery electrolyte
    8. fuel
    9.refrigerant

    any applicable fluid in your car has a projected service life.

    stick with the car's owner's manual for fluid maintenance
    I asked my SA nga why I don't see CVT fluid in the quotation. I have windshield washer fluid here but for the coolant I need to buy that nga.

    Daming unnecessary pero yung needed wala

Nakakatawa din we had a funrun to Antonio's in Tagaytay, and when we got there the first thing we see him do is pop the hood and start checking the coilpacks
    so you mean decarbonizing is not necessary for my car?

    Yes it will probably cost me less than half (including towing) pero I don't wanna hassle ULS na rin (esp this Saturday) and go to QC hehehe. Saka para when I sell my car standard yung files ko (casa maintained) hehehe

    But if no need to tow I'd probably drive it to QC kasi appalling naman pricing ng casa

    CVT fluid is "lifetime" daw, but that's bunk.

    Lifetime in the sense that they want to either sell you a new transmission after the warranty expires, or for you to buy a new car after 5 or so more years...

    Here's what Scotty Kilmer has to say (just a 12 min video, won't take too long of your time)

    what they probably mean is,
    "when the CVT fails, its lifetime is over."
    then, you don't need to do fluid change. you need to replace the CVT!
    heh heh.
