Montero Sport PMS Thread

[ash0279]

Approaching 15k PMS now, (Monty is 7 months old), and I am really more of a DIY person. Sabihin man ng iba I am being "kuripot", pero I am now leaning towards opting out from Casa, and have it serviced by MitsuPrime in Las Pinas and get the opportunity to watch over how they do things and eventually be able to master the craft myself.

Given that I havent had any mechanical, electrical issues since I got my MS inspite of heavy use during long drives, my big question is --- What are the usual/common warranty claims you already had? Weighing in risks for future warranty claims versus just buying/paying those parts myself outside.

May nakasabay ako sa Casa, engine for montero & AT for Mirage. Yung kapitbahay namin yung turbo/egr 2yrs pa lang (slightly use).

thanks sir noel. ano kaya details nung engine warranty claim for the montero?
regarding sa turbo naman, i will research further on what are the common cause of failures.. appreciate na rin if you can share here further details kung ano nangyari sa turbo nung neighbor niyo.. right now, i already have an OCC as an initial care for the turbo, plus ensuring i will stay within factory settings not to play with it. (i.e wastegate actuator settings, etc.)

Sir ash, nothing wrong with your choice not to have service sa casa. At least you know your car is properly maintained because you are on top of things concerning it. Also since you are a forumer, you are informed about the do's and don'ts sa montero. Baka yung mga nasiraan ng turbo e after revving patay agad (old school driver) o kaya short trips hinintay yung scheduled PMS ng casa yun pala sludge na yung oil. Yung EGR naman e linis linis lang katapat niyan. SCV upgraded na, basta malinis diesel mo, tatagal yan.

May mga minor issues na pwedeng kahit maingat ka e affected like the fuel filler and tank rust.

*ek2jayvee - i really appreciate your insights sir. this made me more confident sa plan ko on self-maintenance or at least non-casa maintenance. and yes, i really want to be on top of things concerning my car. also, i will try to my best to stay updated dito sa forums para lalong ma-inform ako sa mga maintenance tips, tricks, do's and donts.

With delo 400 sir and baldwin, change oil ka every 5k pero yung filter di mo pinapalitan or palit din? and if you don't mind magkano kuha mo sa delo 400 sir?

Sir yung delo 400 kuha ko sa caltex aurora 256/L. Ang baldwin bd28 pede hanggang 10k km so d ka palit every 5k. HTH

thank you sir jj.

just talked to my SA sa diamond valle verde, no problem in bringing my own oil basta right viscosity daw pero yung oil filter ang medyo nag-alangan sya. didn't argue na for the sake of warranty hehe palit na lang every 5k.
