Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [ARCHIVED]

[TholitzReloaded]

Okay nga magpricing si Jayson Auto Supply mura talga.. and okay din ung mga nagbebenta madaling kausap. Nkabili na ako ng Pressure Plate, at Clutch Disk, Php2400 talga each ngtry akong twaran pero sagad naraw un, pero satisfied naman ako pagkuha ng parts sa kanila sealed pa na nakabox. ang di ko lang nabili ung Release Bearing NSK Brand Php1100 sbi ksi ng mechanic 550 lng ang replacement.

Yung Rotor Disk ko actually kasalanan ko kung bakit naging manipis na at kailangan ng palitan, mdyo may sound na ung Breaks ko, naibyahe ko pa ng probinsya mga 150km pa ang tinakbo.. wla na palang Break Pads and piston na pala ung kumikiskis sa Disc Break ko.. pati ung mags ko nadale tuloy dahil kinalawang because of the metal particles galing sa nauubos na disc breaks.. ayun maghapon ko rin nilinis pero di ko na naibalik ung dating glory ng mags ko sa front left.. sad to say pero I learned my lesson the costly way... dapat pag may naramdaman ka sa auto pcheck dapat kaagad para di na lumalala.

....dapat pag may naramdaman ka sa auto pcheck dapat kaagad para di na lumalala.

+1 to this.

Personally, that is why I don't take chances. I still bring my unit to a trusted and reliable authorized ISUZU dealer. They have a checklist of what to check depending on mileage. Kaya di ako abutan ng problema sa labas. Either maagapan or simply maayos na agad.

Kasalukuyang binababa ung transmission ko, natanggal na nila ang propeller shaft (ung may 2 crossjoint), pero hirap silang hugutin ang transmission.. meron bang technique un na gingawa sa casa? or bka may hidden lock sa transmission ng crosswind ung sa parteng ibabaw kasi ayaw bumuka, eh natanggal na nila lahat ng turnilyo.

Any ideas?

[TholitzReloaded]

Natangal nrin nila ung transmission, mdyo stuck up lang daw... they are now replacing the pressure plate and clutch disk.. observations ko.. ung pressure plate ung mga ngipin may groove na, may tama naraw sbi ng mechanic tpos ung clutch disk naman manipis na ung groove paikot sa clutch disk ung halos mabura na. ung release bearing okay pa so di naraw papalitan...

Tanong ko lang meron na bang nakasubok sa Shell Diesel Plus (yellow container) for the 4JA-1 engine. How does it compare to Mobil Delvac?

[Boxout]

I tried Royal Purple Synthetic Oil from SpeedyFix. I'm using it for a year now. Mas maganda takbo ng crosswind ko kumpara sa dating petroleum motor oil. Mabilis ang pick up ng makina. P500 per gallon. 4 gallons for every change oil.

[TholitzReloaded]

Sakto, I planning to have a change oil for my crosswind this weekend, ano kaya magandang engine oil?

Here are some of my options baka may suggestions pa kayo kung alin mas okay gamitin.

• Petron Trekker - Php 900 per gallon
• Shell Diesel Plus -?
• Royal Purple -? mahal yata ito

Thanks.

[TholitzReloaded]

Ask ko narin mas maganda ba ang fully synthetic oil para sa diesel engine like 4JA1? Ano po masasabi nyo d2?

[Gerbo]

Well, if you have the dough why not. Pero sa aming mga dukha mineral engine oil will also do the job
.
Based on experience, I will pick Mobil Delvac over the Petron Trekker. But would like also to try the Shell Helix Diesel Plus and the Caltex Delo Multigrade.

When i had my XUVi back in 2003 (until 2007), I never used any other oil except IGMO (ISUZU Genuine Motor Oil)... basically Caltex since they're the one who mixed it using ISUZU formulation. Never had any problems and the engine performed above par.

Keep this in mind.... the life (and optimum performance) of a diesel engine does not have to be based on special motor oil (use of such considered as "bonus") but is measured on how regular you change the oil. Motor oil ang buhay ng diesel engine. Kaya regardless of brand, basta laging bago langis ng makina, it's A-OK!

[TholitzReloaded]

Thanks Benz, I'll keep that in mind.

Konti pa lang gumagamit ng synthetic oil pra sa 4JA1 engine. Isa na ko dyan. Why not try? pra makita mo rin yun effect.

From my experience, mas okay ang synthetic oil. Mahal kumpara sa mineral oil. P500 per gallon but its worth to try.

[carlmags]

^^so how often you change oil? every 5k pa din or 10k na using synthetic oil?

[TholitzReloaded]

yeah how many kms before you're next change oil? and how many liters or gallons do you put in a 4JA1 Engine, do you need to put other additives?

[blue_gambit]

Your brake rotors needs to be refaced, 250-350 per side dati sa mga machine shop (except labor ng mechanic mo) . Both front should be done at the same time, also change your brake pads as they are already uneven in wear. Buy good quality ones... Though they are not really that dangerous pero you never know d b?

Direstso na kay Benzmizer..onboard guru...

When I pressed the brake pedal of my xto at lets say...80 kph...nagvivibrate and brake pedal. Is this normal?

My City and L200 don't have vibration in the brake pedal even at higher speeds.

My brother who owned the xto mentioned he had the brakes repaired or had some maintenance done.

[TholitzReloaded]

What do you gain from using synthetic oil?

Best compromise for both the standard and sporty variants.

^^so how often you change oil? every 5k pa din or 10k na using synthetic oil?

After the first change to synthentic oil, you need to change on 5km then the succeeding on 10km. Btw, before you put synthetic oil, you need to put a flush to existing mineral oil (I forgot the brand). Rev your engine for 20mins then drain. This will help to remove remaining residue. I bought synthentic oil from SpeedyFix. Sila lang alam kung meron ganitong engine oil.

yeah how many kms before you're next change oil? and how many liters or gallons do you put in a 4JA1 Engine, do you need to put other additives?

4 gallons of Royal Purple synthentic oil for our 4JA1 engine. No additives needed. Don't forget to apply the prescribed oil Viscosity of your car.

What do you gain from using synthetic oil?

You don't have to change every 5km but on every 10km. Better lubrication. From my experience, I noticed the improved engine performance (Dati hirap sa rangkado). Smoother shift of gear (dati hirap ako mag shift galing sa 1st to 2nd gear).
