Hi, my isuzu trooper's PMS is coming near..
i want to use sana MOBIL1 na brand FULL SYNTHETIC 5w-30 pero may nabasa akong thread na hindi daw safe ang mobil1 na brand for isuzu trooper 3.0 diesel engines ..

how true is it ..? tnx in advance sa mga magreply ..

Dont know about it. But alam ko pwede and much better to use fully synthetic oil but I think 5W-30 is too thin for your application, I would use 0,5,10W-40-50 instead w/c is more suitable to our hot climate and traffic situations.

tnx sir sa advice ..
pero diba much thiner oil is much better for the engine? hindi siya hirap unlike sa malapot na oils? what disadvantage will i get if i use 5w-30?
kasi nakasulat under the hood use only sae 5w-30 or 5w-40 ..
5w-40 ata nakalagay ngayon .. last PMS ko sa isuzu pasig ..

i dont suggest using any other oil aside from the besco oil of casa..your fuel injections and engine is too sensitive...ikaw din...masira ang FI, RPCV, or RPCV sensors mo. 4jx1 pa ang makina mo.

sir alam mo ba? may engine almost blew when that injector of my trooper fails? buti nalang nabunot kaagad ng driver namin yung key sa ignition kundi blown engine na sana ..
this happens when the trooper is a year old palang .. bute nalang under warranty pa but still weve waited 6 long months and pay almost 30 tousand pesos .. tsk tsk .. sir how can i be assured na besco nga gamit ng casa? once kasi i saw them siphoning oil from a ELF (brand) labeled barrel and when i ask them "kuya ano yan? they say it was an engin oil .. last PMS ng trooper ko is on isuzu pasig .. BESCO ba sila dun? and can i buy besco lubricants aside from casa? where can i buy it?

tnx very much sir

tnx very much sir

i had my troop serviced there as well...just make sure you tell the Service Advisor that you want BESCO, but usually that's what they place for trooper..

so after that incident..okay pa rin trooper mo?

**s_quilicot** · March 12th, 2008 11:36 PM

you mean the engine sir?
ok naman .. yun lang mejo nawala na yung trust ko sa trooper namen ..
after that incident madami kaming binago like gas station where it is the cleanest wich i believe total and shell, frequent tune-up and TLC..
T=tender
L=loving
C=care

pero actually nadisappoint kami sa isuzu .. why? kasi they dont even modify or repair the defect on their 4jx1 injectors .. eto pa, diba pag under warranty yung unit mo and nagka-aberya eh dapat may temporay service vehicle ipoprovide ang dealer sau? in our case for the first 4 months wala! but a friend of my dad who works for toyota (OTIS) told us na kapag ganon dapat may temporary service vehicle na ipoprovide ang dealer .. so we called them and ask for it pero nagtuturuan sila .. so we decided to go to a lawfirm and sent them a request letter signed by a famous lawyer here in pinas ..

so after two weeks ayun they call us na may TSV na raw .. then after three months ok na yung unit .. a total of almost 7 months bago naayos ..

how bout sa trooper mo sir? dipa bumigay?

and casa maintain ka parin even if tpos na yung warranty?

bro..i sold mine 4jx1 before mag 5th year..but lumabas na rin sya..check out the thread on Protest against isuzu.

nawala na tiwala ko sa isuzu.

yes, you are suppose to get a service vehicle..imagine..less than a year your trooper and ganun na...

well good luck sa trooper..hope it will be running well for years.

ah .. how much mo dispose sir? actually nga last week nasira ulit yung trooper .. we found out that the vindex drive sa starter motor eh bumigay .. so we canvass in casas and SPEEDLAB they gave us price for 35t wala pang labor, so we go to banawe that same day and from 35t, price is reduced to 6t HEHE ..

i change my airfilter nga pala to a K&N high flow open type filter .. ayun tumipid and lumakas hatak ..

sir can i buy BESCO from local stores?
