good day po fellow tsikoters.. we're planning to travell from davao going to cagayan de oro via butuan route. that's approximately 481kms. actually there's a shorter route via bukidnon approximately 295kms but i'm going to cruise on uphill mountains and very steep downhill when you reach the top of the mountain going to bukidnon. the road is not a problem because davao-bukidnon highway is flawless asphalt. im worried my motor might not able to pass thru there so that's why im considering butuan route even if its almost twice as far as bukidnon route. what do you think? should i go for butuan route or bukidnon route? can you suggest what im going to do to condition my car. what are the things to check on my car? btw my car is 97 ek civic lxi with 5 heavy weight passengers. tia
