whew! natapos ko na rin ang last (for now, hehehehe) of my mods -- an almost complete suspension change over

after installing OME shocks, brand new stabilizers, super pro coil spring spacers and zee inspected, checked and certified tie rods, stabilizers, trailer arms and bushings, i was able to install all 4 OME coil springs.

the ride is much better and sisiw talaga yung mga humps kahit ihataw.

kaya lang para sa mga patrol GU gurus dito, may tanong lang ako.

i noticed that when i pass some of these rough portions of the road or roads that are like staircases, i notice na may kalampag sa harap. pina tignan ko na sa zee and they cant seem to zero in on it. babalik pa ako doon. i also checked at nissanbayan and one poster there (si mll with a 2003 patrol) also has the same problem and query. kaya lang wala pang sagot sa query niya. ayun, naki post na rin ako doon. nakakainis lang kasi sa ibang lubak, wala. pero sa ibang lubak, meron.

so, sa mga patrol GU gurus dito, have you encountered this problem? if so, ano ang cause? what is the solution?

it is not much of a problem really but irritating lang. or baka OC lang ako dito, hehehehe

anong klaseng kalampag yan? wala naman akong naexperience na kalampag. meron dati konting ingay kapag sa mga humps, pinalagyan ko lang ng hose yung coils ko nawala na. since meron kang spacers, hindi na siguro yun ang cause.

baka nga mga engine supports daw.may konting play daw.

will have this checked sa nissan to be sure

**boybi** · July 21st, 2005 03:31 PM

111prez, you have PM.

**111prez** · July 21st, 2005 11:44 PM

boybi -- i got it

**111prez** · July 27th, 2005 08:06 AM

whew! kakatapos ko lang ng 40K PMS sa patrol ko. pinaadvance ko na ito kahit na 37K ++ palang

nag change oil (ginamit sa nissan ay conoco synthetic 15W+20 / 9 liters all in all), drain and change ATF, drain and change gear oil, clean brakes, change coolant and drain and change brake fluids in addition to changing the oil filter. buti nalang napalitan ko na ang fuel filters and air filter earlier. then pinalinis ko rin ang MAF

ang mahal but worth it. next PMS is 45K or nov 05 whichever comes earlier

hmmmm, ready na ready na ito sa mt maaarat, hehehehe

teka, 4x2 lang pala, hehehehe

hmm, the ZD30 engine of Nissan Patrol cannot use synthetic oil. bakit synthetic ang linagay ng nissan casa? meron itong sticker sa tabi ng oil filler indicating that only mineral based oils can be used.

sandali, diesel ba patrol mo or gas fed?

**luckytruck** · July 27th, 2005 09:35 AM

when i had my pajero, mineral lang talaga ako, yung petron all terrain ata yun. ok naman siya and di masyadong mahal.

boybi -- diesel yung patrol ko. hindi pala puede ang diesel sa synthetic?

baka mali ang intindi ko. baka "like synthetic" ang ibig nilang sabihon

anyway, sa casa naman ginawa so they should know what they are doing. they use that/recommend that kind of motor oil for all their patrols on PMS daw. next oil change is after 10K, hindi na 5K.

well, kung may mangyari sa baby ko eh di kawawa sila sa akin, har har har

**111prez** · July 27th, 2005 11:01 AM

baka nga mineral based oil yun, hehehehe

**111prez** · July 27th, 2005 11:04 AM

the last time i used synthetic motor oil was for my flat roof patrol with a gas fed engine.

**luckytruck** · July 27th, 2005 11:51 AM

i think it's a nissan thing, medyo mapili daw sa type of oil. if i remember correctly, yung mga cefiro nila, may restrictions din sa oil.

i don't think mas magaling ang casa kesa sa manufacturer. the warning sticker was put there for a reason. siguradong mas malaki kasi ang profit (and their total sales) ng casa kung synthetic oil ang ilagay nila. besides, kapag nagkaproblem yung engine, charged to the manufacturer naman yan and hindi sila ang gagastos. and kapag out of warranty na, yung owner naman ang gagastos.

boybi -- that is true also. but just in case something happens and i have to go after them, i will not base my cause of action on the vehicle warranty. ang basis ng complaint ko will be their gross negligence and misrepresentation considering that as a duly authorized car dealer and service center, it is incumbent upon them to know which motor oils are for what vehicles. wala naman akong pinirmahan na waiver that i am aware that this motor oil is not for the patrol yet i insisted on having this put in, hehehehe

pero, so far okay pa naman

**boybi** · July 27th, 2005 02:46 PM

but, have you thought about the effect of synthetic oil on your engine? maaaring hindi agad lumabas ang problema, but, what if next PMS mo, nag mineral oil ka, tapos dun nagkaproblem. how can you prove that it was caused by the synthetic oil that was used before/now?

totoo yan. pero i think yung nilagay nila ay mineral oil ata but i will check again to be sure

thanks for the advise bro

**111prez** · July 27th, 2005 02:58 PM

just talked to my friend at nissan north edsa and the motor oil they put is conoco nissin mineral based oil. this is approved by nissan philippines for all nissan diesel engines. it has the same effect/performance/quality as your synthetic oil daw

**boybi** · July 27th, 2005 03:03 PM

hehe, buti naman hindi synth oil. kinabahan ka ba?
