New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[silverend]

silverend, when you change your oil from mineral to synth, or even if you just change brands, also change your filter. never ever leave an old filter used with a different brand or make of oil. Like what i have been saying in the past posts, different brand and make of oil have different additives and different detergents. one brands dirt and gunk can not be cleaned and removed by a different brand. but if you use the mineral oil of mitsubishi and change to the turbo XP, magkaiba na brands din yung dalawang bwisit na yun!!!hay suussssss......... as for what brand oil to use, a lot of manila based bros are using motul CRDI specific fully synth. castrol, mobil1, penn and 2 arabian brands i cannot remember their names...are all good. just make sure that you buy a brand that you are sure will always have a steady supply there, kasi nga NEVER EVER mix different oil brands!!

hope i clarified things a bit...

thanks Arvin Cristi, i'll keep that in mind bro.

hi guys. the oil itself was 4K+. yup, fully synth. casa oil na, the xpturbo. para consistent.

manageable naman yung maintenance cost. psychological lang.

wala sa checklist. the lid was ok when i checked it in. iba lang talaga dating ng mitsu service. i had a lancer before and had it serviced in both wheels and diamond quezon ave. medyo di talaga pulido. you leave that place with a grimy feeling. what saves the day is really my very low expectations with the service having had the lancer experience prior to the strada.

ganun ako ka-sold sa strada

now that i have the lid, feeling ko parang naiwan yung tire size. but my friends think the proportion is still ok. siguro upsize ko na lang yung tires mismo when the time comes.

by the way, i had nitrogen loaded on my tires. i had this impression that this gas doesn't fluctuate. i was surprised that it does. i guess what you're paying for here is the managed rate of dissipation which is more or less slow and even across the 4 tires. naka nitro yung gulong ng isa kong car pero wala naman yun tire pressure monitor.

lots to learn pa with regard pick-up life. haven't even finished reading the manual!!!

will really try to join a regular eb next year. the yearend just sucks where i work. puro rush mga leche

Sir Skippy, as far as I know, the turboXP is a semi-synthetic oil and not fully synthetic.

Sir sadek, congratulations sa bagong ride mo. You will never go wrong with a strada.

With regards to your desire to have a Strada group in Mindanao, we have 2 tsikoteers who are strada owners and members of The Strada Club of the Philippines who are from Mindanao. They are: nismo28 (Cotabato City) and wulf_geo (Cagayan de Oro City). You may want to get in touch with them and come up with something, like spearheading the TSCP, Mindanao Chapter.

What's to look out for when getting your GLS Sport? Please guide me. Remote control, uneven stance, etc-etc.

Can I drive the truck and feel the anomalies? And if I'm not happy, pwede di ako mag-sign ng delivery receipt di ba?

Just covering my bases.

Thanks.
