Thanks ulit sir rion...

So okay lang siguro RP 1oW3o sa 5k engine noh? What if 5W3o gagamitin ko? Okay lang ba?

I am now looking for an oil filter, air filter, & distributor o-ring.

I don't know if 5w-30 is still ok, maybe kung sa bagio ka nakatira. 10w-30 is the recommended nga. peru wala pa akong nakitang 10w-30 na magnetec dito eh...

Drey, since may edad narin ang Liteace mo (like ours), I would recommend na gumamit ka nalang ng mineral oil na 20w-50 (i.e. Shell, Caltex or Castrol). Indulging to a thinner oil will possibly post some problems (leaky seals, loose oil compression, more oil consumption etc.), less protection pati (lalo na kung di pa na-o-overhaul yan, top o general, maluluwag na internals nyan for sure). I use Caltex mineral oil (yung red cap), alagaan mo lang sa OC oks na yun.

Lamo naman ang Liteace at 5K, low speed engine at short-geared ratio yan, gusto nyan semi o high-rev most of the time para lang makuha yung tamang hatak o torque (mabigat kasi), lalo na kung marami kang sakay, demand ang power. Lastly, wag ka ng magpaligoy-ligoy pa sa ibang brand at viscosity ng langis, thicker oil = better protection so for me, imo, I would prefer using 20w-50 mineral oil....this would be fine!

Just my few cents bro, good luck anyway!

Thanks for the info rayban7g... Hmm... May point ka... Naguguluhan tuloy ako hehehe... 11 y.o. Na ang kotse, ang kinuha ko na viscosity ay 10W40 instead of the 10W30... Gusto ko lang ma try, less than 100 kms a week lang naman ako magpatakbo. Kaya I think there is no harm in trying... 101K kms pa ang Liteace...

hope no problems lang talaga since gusto ko tipid ang gaso...

in my opinion ok na yung 10w-40. 40max oil weight kung maiinit na yung makina. engine wear usualy occurs during cold startup kasi eh. lighter weight oil is good in the cold start.

or maybe 10w-50 kung myroon...

Sir Drey Good day. Uhm just would like to help kasi owner din ako ng liteace dito sa cebu. What I did to my liteace is use shell helix plus 10w-40, BOsch Oil Filter, Bosch platinum super 4, Bosch IC, change air filter element every year(use toyota OE), Use Caltex Vortex Silver w/ Techron, Installed Khaos, Align every 6 months, Used 17" wheels w/ 215/40ZR17 Tires from Dunlop. plus added power steering. and I used to get 1:11 even with aircon and 7 people city driving. But as what sir always yummy said change your engine to diesel if you want to get more power and km's for the given amount of fuel I would second the motion. Because I've modified my liteace to accomodate a 3C-T engine plus intercooler, new tranny, new tires from the said above to BFGoodrich 215/40ZR17 front and 235/45ZR17 rear. My liteace pala is model 1990. and for upholstery I spent almost 15k (change cushion, seat cover, carpet, and for the driver seat use leather. By the way there are more things that I add to the vehicle but I know that is for another topic. Again good day to you sir drey hope this could help.

Bay...

11 km/l imong gakakuha sa city with 3C-T? Dili man nako gusto engine swap because I am trying to make the van as stock as possible.

I have heard about Platinum 4's na Bosch... Pero some people here say na Platinum 4's are better on long drives. I only drive the van 2 times a week. Maximum na ata is 3, and that is less than 100 kms.

I bought a filter element just this afternoon... The brand is Koji. I don't know if this is good but it says made in Japan.

What kind of Ignition Coil do you use from Bosch? I have heard horror stories from this brand of IC. I will be using a VIC oil filter as well.

Regarding sa Khaos, does it work on your van? I've heard effective daw to sa mga Carb engines but reading the posts here. Walang epek daw kuno ni nga gadget.

And before I forget, Welcome diri sa tsikot.com bay!
