guys, we have an '08 xuv. have a question here, at what mileage is it appropriate to bring and test her at its max speed?

with 5K run through her at a long straight, i have tried to fully stepped the pedal and can't seem to get her to reach 120kph. is this normal?

Yes its normal. Most diesel engines take awhile to loosen up and wear properly. I am really surprised your trying so hard at just 5K to exceed 120kph. Be nice to your vehicle. The crosswinds have a small diesel and are highly reliable, but are just not made to go much faster than 130kph.

thanks much to the reply... good to know its nothing to worry.
anyways, i rarely do these high speed run, and have stretch it no longer than 5 seconds - ... i usually run in the 50-70kph, its almost more like "babying" the car, which i have read somewhere in the net that it also is not very advisable for diesel engines..

mga sirs saan recommended magpa change oil, ok din ba sa mga shell service centers? gusto ko rin sana tune up ng diesel engine, 136k na rin kasi mileage ng hilander ko. Thanks in advance!

fabilioh, i've tried different oils pero Shell Helix Diesel (yellow) ang nagustuhan ko. Okay rin ang Petron Trekker - mas mura konti rather than what Isuzu suggest na monograde SAE40. I change oil every 6 months with less than 3,000 kms.

regarding tune up i guess monitor mo FC niya kung normal naman gaya sa kin nasa 12-13kms/li pa rin so no need na ipagalaw. i just replace my fuel filter once a year but kung medyo abnormal na nga i suggest mag first opinion ka sa CASA. mura na lang rin tune up nila.

Thanks XTO, actually last change oil ko Trekker na gamit ko, FC ko is nasa 10, fully loaded, Antipolo-Ayala traffic back and forth, normal lan ba yun or pa check ko na rin sa CASA? Onga pala I also replaced my fuel and air filters on my last change oil.

IMO at 10 kms per liter tapos fully loaded pa is di na masama and good enough for 100K+ 4JA1. with akyatan pa yan.

as long as hindi belching and no oil consumption walang problema. but kung libre ka drop by ka to any isuzu casa for cost ng tune up. agahan mo lang para wala pang pila.

sa air filter kahit monthly mo pahanginan sa mga gas stations para mas ramdam ang response.

ok, thanks again, will try to go to a casa pag nalibre.

regarding belching, pansin ko lang pag naka idle medyo mausok siya, though hindi naman dark/black smoke, is this normal?
