My first brand new car. So wala pa kong point of comparison. Yung engine and transmission combined can rival any model in its class. The only more powerful engine is the Trailblazer I think. 10-11km per L * 80% highway driving. Not sure sa transmission ng strada.

My total PMS cost for the first yr is P26k ~20000km (na skip ko pa yung 15000km). Sakto yung mileage ko sa months, i.e. 5000km. I don’t think anyone here already knows abt the long term (>5yrs) ownership / maintenance of the 4N15.

Hope that helps.

glad to hear fs oil ang gamit. those turbos can really beat up those cheap oils badly...

Re GLS where the DRL is the same as the fog lamps and is automatically switched ON when driving, is it possible to install a switch to enable me to switch off the Fog lamps/DRL during daytime?

Mga sir ganun ba talaga 2017 montero, kapag accelerating during low rpm e may whirring sound? Parang mahinang tunog helicopter?

Hi mga sirs. Good evening. Bago po ako dito and i took delivery of my 2017 Monty GLS last october. I've been very happy with it, except for some issues sa audio system and now very recently with the hanging of the whole head unit.

Una po napansin ko ung sound ng stereo nya medyo "bingi" para pong may kulang sa tunog. My other cars are an adventure and a lancer, and both stereos seem to sound better than the unit in my monty. Parang muddled kase ung sound nya. Especially the mids.

Pangalawa, just a couple of hours ago nag hang ung head unit ko. Ang nakadisplay ung car info but parang frozen ung screen. No read outs or inputs from the different sensors and no audio anymore. Buttons are non-responsive and backup camera doesnt kick in as well. Shutting off the engine doesnt work, naka tatlong restarts na ako.

So for now ginarahe ko muna and gagalawin ko sya tomorrow morning. I havent gone through all the previous messages but I'm hoping someone might be able to shed light on this. Hindi pa option po na dalin ko direct to winterpine kase im from Zamboanga City po. Ill be taking it to the casa tomorrow and hope they can help me out. Im hoping though na may nakakaalam ng solution to this kase minsan yung casa will rely on winterpine and the scheduled visit from their tech is probably this feb pa.

Thanks in advance to any help on this matter.

Happy new year to everyone!
