New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

**av8or5** · January 19th, 2008 12:44 PM

i have emailed the plant on this oil issue/question, let's wait on their feedback.

in my opinion, it depends on how often you use the car in a year. If i change my oil once a year due to low mileage travelled, then investing on synthetic would be for me, but if i travel often and change my oil three times a year, then maybe regular oil would be for me.

mga bro, ask ko lang ano ba ang stock battery ng strada? GS lang ba talaga? Napansin ko kasi lately na humina yata battery ko kaagad...medyo hirap sha magstart, it takes 3x tries pa bago magstart. sa inyo ba ganito din?

Pasensya na ha...i have to be very observant para sa first 1k check up ko masabi ko lahat sa casa ang probs para mabigyan ng attention.

GS is what is installed in our strada. however, if you back read, there are post in which someone mentioned that their dealer replaced their battery to motolite (if i remember correct) because it was made for our weather vs the GS. I suggest you tell them this when you get your 1K km checkup.

I asked the Casa about this..and they said..unless otherwise there is something wrong with the battery...then thats the only time they will replace it.

So far, everything is well with mine and I have the GS battery.

new bigger rims will be coming out in February, no specific tires yet. but read ian's previous post. headunit will also change to jvc. but be prepared of price increase.

the brochure indicates ralliart matting as dealer option. I don't think anyone has those. everyone i know was given just plain mitsubishi matting for free. in short..hindi ka niloloko ng agent mo. but do shop around before making a final sale. iba iba agents will give you different things. hope you can make it sa eb coming up next sat.

Never missed a heartbeat. With my experience with my other vehicles..it could be many things. Battery, Loose cables, Starter, etc. Goodluck sir.

Yes they allow you but they will charge for 150php....
