Mga GS na grey-market owners, specially sa Hancars. San kayo nagpapa service ng GS niyo?

That's pretty low on the requirements side. D*mn casas! That's why the Hyundai Ghills service guy got a piece of my mind. Pinagpilitan ang CF rated HGMO.

Problem is they almost always get away with it. Most people who go in for service don't know the difference in api classification. And if we complain about their cf rating,they can always blackmail us with their warranty.

The Hyundai Central Edsa guy admitted the same -- that only a few bring in their own oil -- kaya wala silang corkage on oil. At least not yet. As to the warranty, Hyundai Global service guy said that ultimately it would be HARI's decision to accept or deny any claims. They'd only indicate, supposedly, on the record (theirs and yours) that you brought your own oil. I guess it would help one's case if you could have the specific oil indicated on the records.

San ba malapit itong Hyundai Central Edsa?

due for 60K Pms na GS namin eh tas ano oil recommend niyo?

SF namin due for 70K PMS na, dito nalang din ako sa Central Edsa magpapa PMS.

Lagi akong sa Erod eh, bawal sariling oil tsaka hindi ko ganun kagusto service nila. kung hindi ko lang kilala yun service adviser dun, hindi ako magpapagawa.

Fronte or Good gear sells front brake pads at less than P3K/pair. Not sure about aftermarket pads though.

It's located at the CATS compound, 2nd floor. This is along Edsa after the Santolan flyover and Annapolis street.

I would recommend Zic RV FS 10w-30 for both your GS and SF. Try contacting Jard at THP.
