How to maintain Innova Car?

[fish&coffee]

Hi Guys! I both my Innova Car (G - 2.5 - Manual) last September 2005 from Pasong Tamo, so far I don’t have any problem with my car through I have few questions.

~ What’s the normal air for the tires? Is it 25 or higher?
~ What’s the indicator that I need to change my oil? What kind of oil do I have to use? When I first visit Toyota they asked what kind of oil. I choose the cheaper one. Hehe…
~ If there’s a scratch on my car, what’s the best thing to do? Mahal ata kung ipapagawa ko sa Toyota.

This is my first car and I don’t really know anything about cars. Also, if you can give me tips about cars mas okay and I’ll appreciate your tips.

Thanks you!!!

*yun tire psi mo usually nakasulat sa gulong or sa pinto mo.
*always change oil every 3 months. pero yun synthetic oil can last up to 6 mo.
* 3rd-party auto-detailing

That's every 5000km or every three months. Best to ask your Toyota Service Advisor. Anyway, they'll call you when it's time for the next oil change.

Follow the recommended pressure on the door. The pressure on the tire is maximum pressure load. If you keep your tire at that pressure, it'll be very stiff and will wear down much quicker.

hanapin mo dun sa nakasulat sa pinto yung tire size mo, tapos may equivalent na recommended tire pressure yun.

yung tire size mo is nakasulat sa sidewalls ng tire mo (e.g. 195/55/R15, etc.)

It's either on the body where the door covers it when the door closes, or on the side of the door that mates with the body... basta, you can't see it if the door is closed.

to add, normally nasa ilalim yun... and as niky pointed out, its on the side of the door that mates with the body.

There's an earlier thread about Innova...
From Operations Manual
> 33 psi (front & Rear) well rested
> 1K, 5K, 10K and so on... refer to manual for number of months vs. ODO
> Pag hindi malalim, kuha pa yan ng rubbing from DIY stocks.

ganun ba yun? I always fill up at maximum load for fuel economy sana.

Brother natawa naman ako dito sa reply mo. Kumidyate ka pala! Sige, I'll open the door para makita ko naman. I notice the sticker on my door nga pro I don't have any idea about it.

How Tires Work

Hello again... I have another question. I'm using a diesel engine, it is normal na maingay ang makina nang innova? I mean kapag nasa labas ako and iniwan ko syang umaandar medyo malakas ang tunog nang makina. Okay lang ba yon? Another thing, minsan kapag nagdadrive ako, nagkakamali ako nang shift nang gear from 4th gear to 3rd gear, dapat sa 5th gear ko sya ilalagay... i assume pwede masira ang makina ko agad. tama ba? and kapag nagpacheck ako nang car sa toyota, ano sasabihin ko para macheck ang makina ko kung okay lang sya.
