Question to users of K&N air filters here, where did you buy the cleaning kit and how much here? Thanks...

[tidus1203]

*Sir Tidus,
Yung SF ko, recently lang narehistro at ang nakalagay sa papel (CR) ay 2009 model na. Sabi ng CASA, considered na 2009 na ang unit ko dahil sa production date at VIN. Palagay ko ganun na rin mangyayari sa SF mo.

Some people kasi when they buy 2nd hand they look at the date when the CR was issued rather than the year model of the car.... Oh well true or not I am okay with waiting till next year.

Hello po Sir! Yung cleaning kit meron kay Sir Benjie sa MASPRO in Banawe. Asa mga 700-750petot po yun! Pero matagal pa yun gagamitin, after 30,000kms. pa yun from the start na nilagay mo ang K&N filter mo.

Tanong lang out of curiosity mga fellow Sta. Fe'ers... Yung 4X4 CRDi yung aircon ba nya manual or dual zone climate control? Also regarding the 2nd row aircon, if I turn on the aircon controls from the front do the 2nd row aircons automatically turn on? How about those in the 3rd row? Also I notice sa front panel meron REAR A/C button. What is that for?

Thanks mam LR for the tip on cleaning kit, bale washer solution and oil spray na ba yung price na yun? or the washer solution only?

*tidus, yung REAR A/C switch is for the REAR aircon at second row,

the rear a/c switch is for the 3rd row but the switch at the back (3rd row) should also be on. the 1st and 2nd row has the same switch.

Much appreciated. Thanks for clearing it up.

i believe the 4x4 CRDi comes with a manual control for the a/c.

Huling tanong na pala. So now that the first and second row has the same switch and I also assume same thermostat controls (manual controls). The third row also have the same temperature settings as the first two rows? Thanks again!

yup i think so. but lets wait for the others. im not sure about this. but probably all rows have the same temp control.

the 3rd row has its own controls at the back, that is why even if you turn on the rear a/c switch at the front unless the a/c switch at the 3rd row is turned on it will still be off, you won't see the green light go on the rear a/c switch in the front.

about the 2nd row for the crdi (since its manual) i'm not too familiar if it has separate controls for the 1st and 2nd row. mine is the V6 which has the climate control and it has separate controls for the 1st and 2nd rows. although, the switch to turn it on is the same i can control the thermostat of the 2nd row separately from the 1st row.

Sa tingin nyo guys is it ok kaya kung mineral oil na lang gamitin ko kapag PMS? Kasi Hyundai requires PMS every 5000km so I though using synthetic is waste of money since its meant to be used longer... Would Shell Helix be fine? Or does the CASA have a certain brand that they prefer?

[LadyRider]

Hello Sir Tidus, usually your fellow Sta. Feyers use Motul or Royal Purple Oil na fully synthetic pero medyo nga may kamahalan.

Kung gusto mo, semi-synthetic oil is fine and the casa has that, pero iba pa rin ang sipa ng makina pag fully-synthetic oil ang gamit! (hehehe)

To get back to topic (sinisita na tayo ). I got to use the Santa Fe again today treated my parents and my sister to lunch then went to the malls. Pansin ko ang dami na din may Santa Fe I saw at least 7 today and mine included that would be 8. Popular talagang kulay yung black atsaka yung superior red. I saw one blue and 2 silvers. 3 each for black and superior red (mine included). Total mileage since I bought it 152km, fuel gauge is between 3/4 and F . If it reaches half I will tank up and I will report my findings but it might take awhile since we really don't use it a lot.

guaranteed yan kahit ano gawin mo pagtitipid, you'll always reach plus or minus 8km/liter kung dito lang sa metro manila

Thanks a bunch Ma'am LR! Maybe semi-synthetic is the way to go a balance of performance and budget. Fully synthetic kasi naghihinayang ako tatapon na after 5000km pero sa totoo lang pwedeng pwede pa. Pag hindi ka naman magpalit void na yung 5 year warranty...

pansin ko din ito. mas maganda ang takbo pag full synthetic ang gamit. nun huling PMS ko, 25K, pinalagay ko semi synthetic. medyo hindi ko gusto ang takbo. mas swabe parin ang full synthetic

[Gen. Miting]

nag-full synthetic noon medyo bago pa SF ko, pero bumalik ako sa regular shell diesel. wala naman difference, papagastos ka lang. sa Hyundai CASA whether synthetic or regular oil ang next PMS 3 months

our 3 hyundais (starex, getz, sf) are all using regular shell diesel from CASA and are all running at optimum peformance. marketing pitch lang naman yan synthetic sa diesel engine, ginagaya lang ang gasoline engines.

baka naman placebo effect lang yan naramdaman nyo na kesyo mas maganda sipa ng makina.

[LadyRider]

Sir baka sa inyong mga kotse ok na ang regular... 3 beses na rin akong nagpapa service ng SF ko... It is not a placebo effect Sir. All of our cars are carrying fully synthetic oils... Maganda talaga ang hatak compared sa regular oil.

Yun nga lang mahal talaga at nakakahinayang kase tapon ng tapon kada check-up.

Well, to each his own... Kanya-kanya naman tayong mga experiences sa mga kotse natin kaya tayo lang makakapag sabi talaga kung ok or hindi...
