New question: Regarding the timing belt, it should be replaced every 80T kms. right? If for heavy-duty or taxi use, would the 80T kms. interval still be applicable? Also, how would one know if we are buying original (Japan) timing belts? I have called up two (2) auto supply shops and they quoted me 450-480 Php for the timing belt. Tama lang ba or is it too cheap to be original? I was expecting kasi somewhere in the 900+ Php area. Btw the name of the brand ng timing belt is Gates.

TIA.
its 80k for regular driven vehicles. for taxis i would recommend to have it changed at around 60k.

a 480 timing belt is a replacement. its too cheap to be an original. to have an idea, the original and oem timing belt for a mitsu lancer is around 1,900.
