But the Japs make some pretty loud horns too bro. One just has to choose the calm but assertive sounding ones. The Cesar Millan method works on errant drivers too.

There are plenty of loud horns that aren't as offensive sounding as Europas.

For us who frequent kamote driver infested roads, a loud horn is a safety feature.

Yup, all true & I don't disagree it's good defense vs. root crop riders!
I've stayed away from Europas, except once when a set came as a gift.
I'm constantly conscious of not honking unless necessary...The turn-off of a single stock horn in the BM3 helped my restraint even more.[emoji16]

Again, a repost to avoid confusion....Both filters fit but are NOT THE SAME. Use the Sky-specific PE01 or 1WPE(No Anti-Drainback Valve) for Skyactivs. Do not use the B6Y(for nonSky) nor aftermarket filters which mostly have the ADBValve.

Most probably, yes. It is also possible that this is just a marketing scheme, so that you and I will buy only OEM and that means revenue for the manufacturer.

Perhaps the best way to find out is to try it yourself. I don't think you will be able to notice it right away.

I want to believe that OEM filter is the best.

I would reckon yes. The Skyactiv engine has distinct & specific oil pressure requirements. Its bypass valve is rated 0.8bar while the older ones were at 1.0bar w/ ADBV. Plus, the filter at the bottom of the engine, relative to common petrol engines, is inverted(pics below...1st: Sky filter, 2nd: B6Y1 filter). The ADBV absence on the PE01 is intentional. Stick w/ the Sky-specific oil filter for all Skyactiv engines.

Warning shared by an ND community:
Besides codes, reports of odd oil pump noises have also been attributed to nonSky filters.

Installed scuff plate on door sills.. from mikstore



Repaired my hood.. using a polyurethane adhesive..



Also hired a dent removal specialist to remove some dent on the hood.. there is a noticeable bump on the hood and according to the repair guy, a ball must've hit hard the passenger side causing the adhesive to giveway..

Also i examined the adhesive used.. and i think its not that strong to hold the wide hood

So, the ball was the culprit.
Good mod plans.[emoji106] Insulator silences, but keeps engine heat in the bay longer.

Finally bit the bullet and got the headlights upgraded with bixenon HIDs. HB3 high beam and park light bulbs were also replaced with LEDs to keep it all white up front.

Bad trip lang because the "bright white" halogen H11s I bought for the fogs are still yellowish. Lazada time.

All in the name of safety of course. Rainy season etc etc.

Forgot how much.. but recently i bought zic dot 4 fluid.. around 500 pesos for 1 liter

Bendix dot 4 extreme.. used 500ml complete flush.. this bendix fluid is almost clear.. not like the usual dot 3 that is slightly yellow/brownish color.. 4x bleeding on the front and 8x bleed at the rear.. start with brake farthest from the reservoir
