New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[moxxxs]

We leave mochablends for antipolo around 2:00 P.M.. What is important is we reach the church exactly at 3:00 p.m. because the blessing of our stradas is scheduled at 3:00 p.m. In case wala na kayo abutan sa mochablends, derecho nalang kayo sa Antipolo Church. We will be there siguro up to 4:00 p.m. Photo Ops pa syempre.

Then we go back to mochablends. Target time to arrive back at mochblends is around 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. just in time for the tsikot.com GEB.

See you all.

ano ba mas ok synthetic o mineral?after 1000k ba ano maganda ipalit na oil?

[Arvin Cristi]

mga sir..... i've been using synthetic oil on my ride for 14 months already and i usually average 1800-2000km a month(odo is at 30K na). synthetic is good for the turbo engines, especially the ones with the intercooler because of the high engine cycles. using single grade mineral oil is also okay but the kind of protection that it can afford you is not as much as the synthetic ones..
just my two pesos worth....

[Arvin Cristi]

nakalimutan ko pala mga sir...... DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES AND BRANDS OF ENGINE OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!sa mga nakakaalam kaunting tulong lang kung nagkakamali ako..... different brands and types of oil have different detergents added to them, detergents are what is used to keep your engine clean. now one detergent will not be able to clean the sediments left by another type ad brand of oil.... if you do so, after a while there will be a thick sludge at the bottom of the crankcase, and that is something that you will never want to have in your engine!!!

[INVINZOR927]

wow nice naman!!!! good to hear that from you sir INVINZOR... sulit na sulit ang break in sir ah!!! it doesn't matter what you wear... what matters most you have the "eye cathing looks" of STRADA... sir try niyo bumili ng TUPIG sa Villasis... masarap na pagkain yun... sir don't forget to give HONK HONK sa makakasalubong na strada ha...

OK, thanks Mikko_18, try to buy ng tupig sa Villasis, kung di pa kami aakyat n g Baguio I'll try to join the EB on Saturday. Pag me nakakasalubong nga akong Strada rin, try ko honk ang horn 2 times kaya lang no reply e.

Di ba alam ng mga Service Advisor yan pag dinala mo ang unit sa casa? E pag di ka naman sa kanila nagpa-change oil mawawala ang warranty ng unit mo, kaya ako kung kaya din lang ng budget ko, synthetic oil na ako para laging condition si Erap este ang Strada ko. Di ba mga BOSB?

[Arvin Cristi]

sir invinzor.... yes the SA's should know that.... but usually the case would be that the customer would opt for the mineral oil because it is cheaper, but i think doing so would void the warranty, sayang din yung 3 year warranty ah!!!!!!

[ton2tamayo]

Just got my gls sports last fri. and naka 17" inch na sya. not sure about gls kung 17" din sya. I think the only difference with 2007 model was the stereo and the mags.

On my first attempt on backing tangentially, my rear wheels slipped with my strada shifting to the side. It was less than an inch that I almost hit the opened gate with the side of my truck. Whew!!! Almost.

xxx

Waaah!!! Me tama pala yung left rear fender ko. Akala ko wala, me 8-inch scratch pala. Huhuhu!

Di bale, scratch lang naman, walang dent at limited lang sa fender flare. Tingnan ko kung kaya ng rubbing compound. Kundi touch-up na lang para hindi halata. Damage would have been larger if I insisted on backing without using my 4 wheels.

Sir siakolpasaway, pareho na tayo sir. Wag na sana madagdagan pa. Ingat na lang.

[numbah5]

sir naman... it just happened that I'm an irregular student so I have a lot of free time for this...

Doc ooba +1 po ako...

sir eslonblue nung 5000kms PMS po namin synthetic na nilagay... and I think mas okay siya... at nadiscuss narin yan dito sa thread before... meron din ata naupload si sir av8or5 sa yahoo site natin about sa comparison ng mineral at synthetic... btw, hindi naman ganun kamahal synthetic compare sa mineral... P3000 lang nagastos ng kuya ko nung nagchange oil nung 5000PMS kasama na oil filter...

[av8or5]

sir invinzor.... yes the SA's should know that.... but usually the case would be that the customer would opt for the mineral oil because it is cheaper, but i think doing so would void the warranty, sayang din yung 3 year warranty ah!!!!!!

we had this discussion on earlier pages. You will not loose your warranty because you opt to use mineral oil vs synthetic. As long as you get your PMS maintained sa casa, regardless of your oil, warranty would still be good. choosing which type of oil is the preference of the owners. Of course, if you can afford it, synthetic would be better than mineral, but regardless, our rides would still last long.

Just got my gls sports last fri. and naka 17" inch na sya. not sure about gls kung 17" din sya. I think the only difference with 2007 model was the stereo and the mags.

congrats sir. so two kayo ni eslonblue that we will see on saturday with 08 model strada's.

ooba99: naku sir, another mishap on your ride. one technic if your going up on slippery driveway/road at slow speed and you want to control the traction, just place the tranny on L if automatic, if manual, just control with clutch and gas. but of course, if you got the 4wd, activate it.

all: the officers are very excited regarding saturday. again, suspense is something we all know, just remember how excited we are when we are waiting for our trucks...now for saturday, i bet a lot are also excited in what is stored for this SCP. konti tulog na lang peeps. always drive safely.

ano ba mas ok synthetic o mineral?after 1000k ba ano maganda ipalit na oil?

ako since 1k palang nagpalit na ko, so far oks naman performance, mas ok synthetic specially for turbo engine, mas protected yun turbo mo from sludge build up sa bearing ng turbo and sudden turn off of engine mas hindi naluluto yun langis, besides every 10 k din mag change oil 5k top off. If ur using turbo xp, sell ko nalang sayo napasobra bili ko eh, palit sa parts kasi 6 gallon ang stock ko, 1750 per gallon. aabutin pako ng 2 years para ma consume ko lang yun.

i think hinde fully synthetic yun oil na ginamit ng kuya mo. the filter alone cost 900 pesos, fully synthetic oil cost around P3,500 to P4000 per 8 liters, should be around 5k. pag yun filter na ginamit is around P600 thats for adventure, old strada, l300 or non crdi 4d56 engine. funny if u gonna compare the appearance of the filter between the crdi filter is exactly the same, the difference is only the part no. and it cost 300 pesos more.

[SIZE=2]*siakol *ooba, OUCH! im sorry to hear about that... im sure there will be a solution once fellow BOSBs can give u tips to do. careful, careful!

*Synthetic oil issue- from a previous post, the Mitsubishi Turbo XP fully synthetic should be considered. ask your SA about it.

*EB agenda-
i am going to break my silence about whether i can go or not, i would like to thank the Bros out there for reminding me that there is a reason to be happy despite being far away from all of you and the motivation to see everyone in the EB! actually, there is one Strada Brother who knows what my status is in the office and he will be the first to know if i can make it or not. i am still working my a__ of in setting the parameters required by my boss- because i want to leave a clean plate with my colleages. there is a reason for everything and i am doing the best i can for the club and my fellow BOSBs. so please continue to cross your fingers for me.

this is my last post before the scheduled EB. for what comes after this... abangan ang susunod na kabanata!

...and i am still Drive Inspired!
