New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[ooba99]

Re: my lagutok sa steering, after some attempts at tightening the already tight bolts, wala pa rin nagbago. So they will replace my steering wheel column. So, its not true na sa mga first batch lang ang problem na to. I got my unit Nov 2007.

Hello doc boz, as far as I know, you are the first 3.2 strada who have this steering assembly problem. Magka-batch tayo ng strada. I got mine September 2007.

Eto pala breakdown ng gastos for the 5k PMS (including VAT):
Oil filter P2,040
Fully synthetic oil 9liters P4,200
TOTAL P6,240
less 10% discount P5,616 (puede na rin)

I'm also due for my 5k PMS. Baka after Holy Week. I think I'll be changing also to fully synthetic oil. Tanong ko lang, standard ba ibinibigay yung 10% discount?

for those interested in a complet OME set-up, have a pair of front coils for the triton/strada in stock.

Doc Boz, thanks for this information... my odometer is almost 4K km, so probably in two months, i'll have my PMS as well. At least I can prepare my budget, although, i'll assume my PMS would be cheaper because its 2.5 liter engine. Just like what ooba99 asked, do they give that 10% right away or is it because special treatment? what exact oil was used? Mitsu XP? 9 liters, wow...laki pala.

BOSBs, I just came from SFM San Pablo for my 5k PMS. Syempre sa tulong ni sir drave (ganda rin ng project nya sa Everest), I looked for Mr. Celso Perez. Asikaso agad. According to MMPC directive, mandatory daw for 4M41 engine ng 3.2 Strada ang fully synthetic oil. Nagtataka ako bakit dun sa Citimotors, walang nabanggit, o baka di alam.
After my 1k PMS dun sa Citimotors using regular oil, umingay ang engine tapos nagkaroon ng lagitik. Di ko masyado sure kung humina ang hatak kasi mabilis pa rin naman mag-accelerate. Pero di ko nga masyado napansin yung dating boost ng turbo after 2000rpm.
Anyway, after my 5k PMS (fully synthetic), mas tahimik ang engine, wala na lagitik, at parang mas smooth and responsive ang engine.

If I remember right from the early pages of this thread, it may be from a wrongly placed or oriented bushing.

Will my steering wheel fall off?

Di naman siguro. Pero, if I were you, i'll take advantage of the directive of Mitsubishi to their dealerships to replace the steering column under warranty. That means free of charge.

sir boz tanong ko lang po kung naramdaman nyo ba ung boost ng turbo after nyo magpalit ng synthetic oil, ganitong ganito din yung experience ko ngayon after ko magpa 1k pms using regular oil. maingay ung engine, malakas ung lagitik, and hindi ko na din nararamdaman ung boost ng turbo. thanks!

[Boz]

anong brand ng synthetic ginamit sayo?

Turbo XP.

*boz ganun din naman muna, window shopping and pag kaya ng budget pag iisipan padin kung kukuha pero trip ko mag palit eh..sama ka sir, baka may inuman pa after hehe

Pa-update na lang sir kung tuloy kayo.

Tanong ko lang, standard ba ibinibigay yung 10% discount?

Nakakatawa nga eh. Tinanong ko kung bakit may discount. Natawa rin yung SA. Sabi gusto lang daw nila magbigay. Ah, paging doc drave... Salamat again.

Sa SFM nyo rin kinuha unit nyo sir? I think Celso knows you. Di naman daw safety issue, pero syempre mas mabuti na mapalitan.

I was about to ask you sir mike18 kung ano ginamit na oil nung nag 1k PMS ka. Kaso naging busy ako. Di ko pa masyado naihahataw. Will let you know.

Sir av8or5, since lahat naman tayo may Turbo Intercooler, I suggest go for fully synthetic. Parang pagbubuntis yan, puede pag-ipunan... Ganun natin ka-mahal ang mga Strada natin. Turbo XP ang oil na ginamit. Nabanggit ko nga yung sinabi ni sir boybit. Syempre MMPC will insist na fully synthetic ang oil nila. I think iba iba rin ang patakaran sa different dealers. Mas ok if you can bring your own oil. Mas mura pa.
