[SIZE=4]Geez![/SIZE] Talk about "LOW MILEAGE"!

sir, sa ganyang case ba, pano change oil ng ganyan? since di masyadong nagagamit. does he still need to follow the every 5k kms ruling on oil change? kasi ride ko hindi rin masyadong nagagamit. my last oil change was october last year, nakaka 1800kms pa lang ako from then.
do i need to change oil within some period of time though i haven't reached 5k kms? please advice, maraming salamat!

every 3 months or 5K kms which ever comes first...especially when we are using mineral oils na sometimes merong sludge or deposit on long period na hindi nagcirculate sa engine natin...lets wait for other replies...

ok na, thanks. napapalitan ko na stock kong JVC into avx11...may napansin lang ako sa ride ko. once hinirit ko sa 2nd gear or 3rd gear, nag jejerk sya (parang kumakadyot) once umabot na ng 3k rpm nya. bat kaya to? 2008 manual xuv ride ko. patulong naman to anyone who got same experience with me. TIA

I am experiencing that too in my 08 XTi, in my case nga pag nag accelareate ako at paglampas ng 2k rpm nag jejerk na on 2nd and 3rd gear. nag jejerk din while on high speed (100 to 120 kph). I complained this to Isuzu commonwealth and they said na obserbahan daw muna baka daw fuel lines and problema. Mga sirs, please advice us on this matter....
One more observation ko sa commonwealth, they are using DELVAC OIL instead of the IGMO and they also putting oil and diesel additives. Is this correct? Pati rin sa steering fluid, coolant, hub grease, etc. ibang brand na ginagamit nila. Originally sa Isuzu alabang ako nag papaservice, but we had transferred na sa qc kaya sa commonwealth na pinakamalapit sa akin.

That is correct. 3 months or 5k whichever comes first. Remember, ang buhay ng diesel engine ay nasa langis. Do use the car as often as possible. Moving parts of the vehcile needs to be lubricated.... and this can be achieved thru regular use.

IMHO, they should use IGMO and other Genuine ISUZU products on your car... unless you instruct them to use otherwise. Alam ko yung coolant at engine oil may Genuine ang ISUZU. So at the least, they should use those.

*kaloy228, benzmizer, thanks a lot!
in a week i use my ride mga 2-3x only. more often just around the neighborhood. and either saturdays or sundays which is a scheduled family day, i run my ride for 20-25kms only. minsan once a week ko lang nagagamit. masama parin ba yun? parang hinayang kasi ako sa oil baka lang puwede pa. anyway i'll just have to follow your advice para walang mangyaring problema sa ride ko.
salamat ng marami!

sir, sa nissan sentra nga namin nung una wala pa sportivo, hindi masyado nagagamit kasi may motorcycle ako which i use to work and some errands. i change the oil every 3mos. then considering the cost, i now use synthetic oil and have it changed every 6mos. so twice a year nalang ako magpalit ng oil sa kotse. sa motorcycle ko naman i use semi-synthetic oil and have it changed every 3mos. mura lang naman kasi oil ng mc. now i try to juggle in using the 3 vehicles so the oil deposits won't form in the engine. minsan nga hindi ko na nagagamit mc ko dahil mas fond kami gamitin ang sportivo dahil bago eh, nagtatampo yung mc ko. ang tagal mgstart. kaka-ilang banyak na ako sa crank kasi ayaw gumana ng electric start. advise ko sa iyo sir try to use your car every other day.

same reason too why i don't use my cage often because of my scoot. naaawa
na nga ako kay extee-o. and my office is at home din kasi....... siguro i'll change na rin to semi-synth or the best synthetic na rin.

mga sir tanong ko lang kung yung sportivo ay may warning light pag malapit na maubos yung fuel?

[jaz014]

mga sir tanong ko lang kung yung sportivo ay may warning light pag malapit na maubos yung fuel?

good question sir...kasi yung crosswind ko parang wala din indicator light kapag malapit na maubos ang fuel..but lets wait for other replies...but base on what I experienced with my ride...kapag nakatapat na yung needle pointer ng fuel gauge mo dun sa "E" dun sa makapal na line, you have roughly around 10 liters +/- 3 liters on your tank...maybe you are wondering paano ko na gauge?minsan nasa ganun scenario na yung crosswind ko tumapat na sa "E" yung needle pointer nya then I gas-up but unfortunately gasoline ang naload nung gasoline girl so what they did is drain the tank..and they get around 15 liters (around 3 liters dun ay gasoline)....

[Benzmizer]

mga sir tanong ko lang kung yung sportivo ay may warning light pag malapit na maubos yung fuel?

Meron. The "fuel tank" symbol should light up (yellowish color I believe)

When the needle hits the "E" mark and lights up the fuel indicator, that should already signify that your fuel level is at "reserve". "RESERVE" means 7.5 liters left in your tank.

For visual purposes, refer to the diagram below:

sir benz thanks for the heads up...wala po kasi sa owner's manual about this issue...sir benz how about po dun sa temperature maglight po ba yung symbol ng thermometer in case na magoverheat na ang crosswind?curios lang po kasi magkatapat yung gas symbol ang temp symbol sa dash ng crosswind somehow it will light red...thanks po...

* Sir Jaz014, what model po crosswind nyo?

Kung XTO po i sure na wala since I dismantled my cluster board once then i verifeid as well that there isnt any peanut bulb installed on the LOW GAS indicator, and on the wirings wala talaga. abang lang.

Good for the Sportivo owners meron na pala ganun na option. lam mo na pag mag pa gas ka na. unlike on my case talagang kailangan mo na na pa gas na pag malapit na E.

Nope. no visual indicator for the temp. Just keep in mind that when you see your temp needle go above the "normal operating temp", have it checked immediately. Do not wait for it to reach max.

[jaz014]

thanks sir benz....ok naman po ang temp ng ride ko it stay on half during driving...sir saan po galing yung documentation nyo for the fuel float?baka po may service manual po kayo baka po pwede makahingi ng copy...thanks po...

sorry medyo OT..sir nagregister na din po ako sa myclubisuzu to join the club and future EB...thanks po

Gamit ko ay 01 model na crosswind, MT. 10-12 km/liter ito at walang paltos sa PMS. Wala naman akong masabi sa reliability nito pero matanong ko lang, ano magagawa dito para tumulin o lumakas, kahit konti? diesel additive?

I put PetroMate Power Booster on my '83 240D AT. Based on my personal experience (pending claims by others who have tried this) I feel my W123 run better than without it. A little more "kick" so to speak. One of this in a full tank of diesel. If you got a little more in your pocket, you can make it 2:1 full tank without any issues.



.... then again, that's just me.

thanks! I will try that later
