Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[rna800]

Sir/s, I am so intrigued with the Royal Purple oil and I so wanna try it. Is there anyone here who has tried it in their Dmax, especially the 08 Dmax? I have read the thread about it and owners are raving about how it really improved their cars engine performance and fuel consumption. I emailed speedyfixph.com and they here's the quote that they gave me:

2008 Isuzu Dmax LS
Change oil.- vic 207 oil filter 200
7 liters 15w40 oil *500/liter
labor 200

It's way more expensive compared to change oil in Isuzu since my 1st PMS
cost around P2,920.00. But if this oil provides better performance
and saves more fuel, I guess it's really worth trying.

SIr rna800, I think ganyan din ato lahat ng Hyundai units. You need to press the clutch to start. Yung starex ko kasi ganyan din. Ano kaya benefits of pressing the clutch when starting....

Sir, I tried to look up in the net for the explanation on that and I arrived with it is used to prevent the car to jerk, once started, when you put the car in gear when you stopped. Unless your car is like those sports cars that you have to press the clutch first in order to start the vehicle. But for ordinary vehicles, I guess that explanation is reasonable. (I answered my own query.hehe)

Sir/s, I forgot the page, but I read in the manual about starting the vehicle wherein it says that we've to press the clutch while starting the vehicle. I read a post here about that but if I am not mistaken, it was about Vios. Do you follow or do that? Me, I follow it. I don't really know the exact explanation why but I do it now and in all my vehicles too. At first I tend to forget but now it's automatic.

Yes rna800, the new Vios, which my parents just got about three months ago, does not start unless you press the clutch (sa mga manual version). In my opinion, I think its a safety measure sa system nya for those na baka naka engage ang gears when starting and nothing to do with mechanical advantage to other vehicles. So sa case ko, i don't press the clutch when starting

try to put grease on the plastic/teflon liners on the leaf spring to minimize the noise. the tire pressure for the rear which is 49 as mentioned is when you are loading your max to its gross vehicle weight siguro, it is not practical to inflate it that high. maintain 30 psi front and rear lang.

who is interested in a complete exhaust for the max? it has bigger diameter tubing and free flow muffler. 2 units left.

as is na po kuya the bov... no mods with it na parang may flutter... not unless you open it up, change the spring to a softer one and get the tututututututu sound with the bov... may drawback pala kuya the dose pipe, the turbo exposed and all without any protection whatsoever, maybe tiny rocks or whatever may enter the turbo severing the blades... disaster ang turbo...

my two centavos lang po... ^_^ peace...

dose pipe kasi onga tanggal lahat ng piping to the turbo. tapos may maliit lang na steel pipe to enhance the almighty zutututu ahahah. pero my friends who have it in AU may covering lang para ligtas. swabe tunog eh. nasa manila ka ba madalas bro? pa pm naman ng number mo baka ikaw kuya ko 20 lang ako dude! lol isip kasi ako kung mag dose pipe ako or bov eh. pag bov pagawa ako pipes sayo

... maintain 30 psi front and rear lang...

just my take on this... nuon sinubukan ko yung ganyan kababa na pressure sa rear malambot ang takbo hindi bouncy pero naging pangit ang wear ng gulong ko sa rear... pupud ang sides pero ang gitna hindi... meaning it was under inflated masyado

HI GUYS,
anybody can help me?need ko ng tail light (stocks) for Dmax 2006 pang kanan side, nabasag kasi,taga Cabuyao Laguna ako,pls help..thanks guyz..

[wildthing]

hard to find yan... yun left side merun yung kontak ko sa Capalangan... pero yung right wala.

It is being retailed for P2000 (siguro sa tawad baka hangang P1800).

Nakabili ako ng pang kanan pero merun nga lang crack na about 2" ... P1400. Kaso wala ng iba pa as of last week.

sa Casa it a pair cost P7,000+

China made (medyo hindi pulido) is retailed for P2200 duon din sa Capalangan, Apalit, Pampanga.

*kikoy: that thing krrrrggg somtimes happens to my 08dmax also sounds like may sumasabit na goma it somtimes happens during very low speeds. pero minsan totally wala. parang may pumipitik i'll try to ask my s.a. kung ano reason nun will give feed back after sched na kasi ng p.m.s. ng max ko.

*Denver Max, yes what you mean that there's somthing na pumipitik i can also feel it. The pitik is intermitent and i can feel it in the clutch pedal. My guess is in the clutch piston that is delayed after depressing it the piston goes back delayed. That's just my guess... But the krrrrggg sound is still there sometimes..
Please try to ask the mechanics on what's their findings sir. Goodluck sa atin. hehehe!

i will experiment with the dose pipe tomorrow... there are 2 holes kasi that connects the intake... 1.turbo, and the 2.breather... im not so sure what the effect is kung walang pumapasok na hangin sa breather line to the engine... baka lumabas ang oil sa breather and can mess up the engine... ill let you know my actual findings... try to read also and give inputs on the effects on the disconnection of the breather from the intake... peace kuya ... ^_^
