Given: 2012 Starex Gold Crdi A/T

If price is not a concern, what is the best given na available sya sa pinas:

1) Fully Synthetic Engine Oil (minimum CH-4 spec) - is this right?
2) ATF (minimum Red-1 spec)
3) Brake Pads
4) Brake Rotors
5) Shock Absorber (Best = lambot ng ride and not sa tibay)
6) Tires (Best = lambot ng ride)

Thanks

1. I use Zic x7000 CI-4 fully synthetic diesel oil, paired with original or sometimes baldwin. Kapag Baldwin pinaabot ko 7k kms. Pero pag original filter 5k kms lang.
2. ATF, i use ZiC fully synthetic SP-IV. I called Hyundai about this one, they told me na SP-IV daw gamit ng casa nila. Sa Hyundai Sucat to.
3. Brake pads, original lang gamit ko. But will try Brembo OEM next time.
4. Rotors, never replaced pero baka original na lang din for confidence.
5. Shocks, KYB yata okay din.
6. Tires Kumho Portran KC53 gamit ko. Yung Nexen ko noon nag oblong kaagad.

I would still choose GS anyday kaysa sa mga Hiace. Pero can't deny na mas okay talaga pag ilalim ng Hiace kahit yung commuter variant lang nila.

Time really flies, 8 years na pala yung GS ko, no immediate plans of replacing it as of now. Papalitan ko lang yan kung mag labas ng bagong Starex or Hiace, pero balita ko sa next gen Hiace sa harap na daw ang engine, if that is the case I'm leaning towards the Hiace, although ok naman ang Starex, talagang mas matibay pa rin ang Hiace

Before kasi sir ganyan din ako, i just ask the CASA pero i had a bad experience where I asked several CASAs and they replied with different answers LOL. Kaya for me, mas ok nalang to stick with what's written in the service manual

Looking for floormats for the GS. Are there ready made ones for the GS? Or they have to be custom made?

Maganda sana yung Hippo Techmat brand. Or any brand that has the same design.

sir meron pa ngang casa na ang gamit eh Dextron 3..... Pati nga fully synthetic engine oil may gumagamit ng 5w-40 (most) and 5w-30 (sucat branch). Dapat sana pare parehas na silang lahat para hindi nakaka lito sa end user lol

I think the atf used by TCI 4at is different from the atf used by VGT 5at.

Kaya minsan mas maganda magtanong sa forum kaysa sa casa.
Re ATF, nagresearch din ako for the appolloil red-1. May reply 1 company sa 1 forum na equivalent sya sa nissan matic J. May isa ring local hyundai technisian sa hyundai local forum nagsabi na sp-IV ang ginagamit sa GS vgt.
Castrol transmax meets both specs kaya yung ang pinili ko. Sya rin pinakmura at 330-350/ liter. Zic yata is at 450 and not sure if red-1.
Ito pala spec sheet ng castrol transmax multivehicle. Red-1 is under subaru.
