Hindi ba tuturuan ng dealership mga basic maintenance before ilabas ang car? Yung mga fluids ng car ay sa dealership din ba binibili or kahit saan pwede na?

[lowslowbenz]

Of course, you can do all of these and much more, in the relative safety of your garage.

i have yet to see a dealership who will gather its customers in one room and conduct a series of lectures regarding car ownership.
but one can always ask their senior mechanics. and participate in car portals like here.
some dealerships may not honor items not purchased from official sources (them!). "you are captive to the dealership for the duration of the warranty period."

Hindi ka tuturuan ng basic maintenance. Dyan sila kumikita eh pag may papagawa ka sa casa.

Pwede ka bumili ng fluid sa labas. Ang question is papayagan ka ba ng casa mo without voiding car warranty?

Mga Sir/Ma'am..

Ask ko lang po sana kung matipid sa gas ang Honda Civic VTI Vtec 97 model. I mean kung sakto lang siya magconsume or sobra ba? Balak ko po kasi sana bumili ng 2nd hand na ganun next week. Thank you.

2nd PMS after ng first PMS ng Honda City ko next week. Advice naman kung paano and ano dapat gawin. Sa change oil anong type ng oil dapat ilagay(semi or ful synthitic) and sa mga optionals.

if you change oil regularly, like every 3k kms, conventional oil will do..if you rev a lot or lagi kang na ta traffic, go full synthetic...mas longer also between oil changes..

Yung mga change oil ba kasama yan sa mga PMS sa casa?

Of course, basic sa PMS yan.

Again read the manual, pagpupunta sa casa for PMS empower yourself with knowledge.

Alamin ang to be done and replace para hindi ka dagdagan ng casa ng kung ano anong optionals.

Magkano po ba bayad sa PMS like sa Honda?

[bonalaw]

When you break-in a new car, is there any specific speed limit?

CSR - certificate of stock reported.

It is one of the docs na dapat meron ka in case you get flagged down by any law enforcement personnel. Let's say nahuli ka dahil may violation ka or na-spot check ka lang ng pulis/LTO.

Why do they ask for it? - It is one of the docs required for the initial registration of a brand new car. So it serves as proof na nasimulan na (or sisimulan pa lang) ng dealer ang registration process.

Other docs required for initial registration that should also be in your possession are the sales invoice and the CTPL (back read a little for CTPL).

After 7days, the CSR and the sales invoice should be replaced by the OR/CR. But this almost never happens. Mine took 15 days bago dumating ang OR/CR. Some friends got theirs after more than a month.

Yes. It loses its purpose pagdating ng plaka. But removing it *may* reduce the car's resale value. Some buyers look for the conduction stickers as proof na di pa nababasag windshield.

Seriously? Meron ganyan buyer?

Joke ba itong thread, sobrang grabe naman sa pagka newbie. [emoji58]

OP, wala ka ba masasama or kakilala, relatives na pwede mo isama sa pagbili ng kotse?
