tigerwoods,

kasi nagtanong ako bago ako bumili ng oil...btw ang oil ko kasi castrol gtx..may synthetic guard sya...kaya medyo mas mataas ang interval....dad ko kasi mas gusto ganun...

meleagant8,

Gamit ko din is GTX with synthetic guard, pero every 5,000km or 6 months which ever comes first. Kasi kahit may synthetic guard yan, its not a pure SYNTHETIC OIL.

For maintenance, just read, read, read more stuffs & posts here in TSIKOT.COM and you'll certainly learn things.

You can find your car's website, ano ba car mo? If nissan, may nissanbayan.com
if honda may hondaclubphilippines and etc......... these websites especially for your car would help you for car maintenance & technical info's. Also i would recommend HOWSTUFFWORKS.COM & ABOUT.COM for technical info's of cars and maintenance, tama sabi ni HITMAN47 you must know your car for you to maintain them.

meg, i have to agree with palerider. parang havoline energy yan eh..not pure synthetic oil, so the most advisable schedule pa rin dyan is at 5,000 kms pa rin yan.

i have been using energy na rin for the past few oil changes eh. vinerify ko na rin sa caltex guys na maski 7500 kms ang recommended change oil intervals ng energy, they are still advising their clients to still maintain the 5000 kms interval.

for your engine's protection daw, ika nga.

added info po....maski sa auto manuals walang detailed procedures dun on how to maintain a car. i have manuals din kasi of my current car (as well as my previous ones), pero walang item dun na nag state what to do or what to check. puro troubleshooting procedures lang. i guess this is the way of the dealer para bumalik balik ka sa kanila for your regular PMs.

what i advise though is to get a detailed information din sa casa, on the details that they are doing sa PM (yung mga items na chi ne check nila). I personally got one from Mitsubishi Citimotors in Las Pinas. It details yung mga items na dapat i check, dapat palitan pag 5k, 10k, 20k, 30k, 50k, 100k). after nun, may idea ka na on how it works.

imo lang po.

medyo mahirap, kapag nag kasunod-sunod yung pingagawa mo lalo na sa medyo older car. before na experience ko din na due for change oil tune up ng car ko pero la ako budget dahil may ibang priorities na na-unang binayaran kaya ayun medyo na delay lang ng konti, kaya ngayon kapag may extra money ako kahit 3 months pa ako pa change oil bili na ako ng langis & other parts na kailangan, tapos tago muna sa bahay, so pag dating ng pa change oil ko konti na lang gastos ko, tip lang sa iba na marami ring bayarin.

peace...

para kang may anak o may nakababatang kapatid...parang member na rin ng family yan...bigay mo lang lahat ng basics magtatagal sa iyo iyan...sundin mo lang yung mga regular maintenance na kanilang nabanggit...kapag may dapat bilhin, palitan or ipagawa...tanong ka muna sa mga nakakaalam at magtanung-tanong ka muna ng mga presyo...tulad ng forum na ito, malaki talaga maitutulong sa iyo...everyday you will learn something new...

okei suggestion ni jaspi ah....hehe....

like now...sobra na ung kalampag na naririnig ko...alam ko shocks na un and other suspension related parts....

gusto ko pacheck up kaso ang hirap kasi maghanap ng talyer na trustworthy...ung iba kasi....sabihin sayo kahit di pa sira pala mapalitan na...ung iba naman di naman ata tlga chinecheck up...

hindi kasi ako ung nagstos....dad ko...pipilitin ko nga siya eh...sabi ko nga..deal kami....ung bonus nya sa december pagawa na namin ung kalampag ng kotse...kasi matagal naman bago palitan....pag pinatagal baka lalo masira....lalo lalaki bayad...
