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.

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

**TholitzReloaded** · August 13th, 2009 04:12 PM

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?

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?

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.

What do you gain from using synthetic oil?

Best compromise for both the standard and sporty variants.

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.

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.

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).
