[agent_ysann]

Right DMax is the best choice. Pero kung di ka nagmamadali wait mo na lang yun bagong DMax na lalabas middle of this year!

sir, are you sure about this?? a new model to be introduced??

just wondering...

[st_omach]

Correction I'm a Maam and not a Sir po. We'll as far as i can remember, my nabasa ako na article dito sa Tsikot na ganun na nga. Kaya abangan nyo na lang.

[st_omach]

Please specify naman po kung ano klaseng oill ang gingamit pag nagpapa PMS ka? TIA...

[st_omach]

Thank you po, sir rna800!! this is a great reference... since it's a diesel, no wonder ganito ang amount ng maintenance fee... baka po mid this year kuha na sila...

I could only speak for the 4x2 MT LS. Good thing I managed to keep my receipts for future reference.

1st PMS: 3,478.27 Change Oil and Oil filter. Free Labor
2nd PMS: 2,226.83 Same as the above.

For the succeeding PMS, I inquired on the prices and the guy showed a paper with the following figures. I forgot to ask though if the price of labor is inclusive.

10k PMS: 6,020.27
15k PMS: 4,788.71
20k PMS: 10,371.15
25k PMS: 4,788.71
30k PMS: 6,567.71
35k PMS: 4,788.71
40k PMS: 11,662.78

Please take note that the above prices are based on what I saw in their list and you know them, they could change the figures anytime so it's still best to ask them first for more accurate figures. Hope this helps! Go Dmax!

Synthetic oil po ba gamit pag nagpapa PMS ka? TIA!

Honestly I don't have any idea on what kind of oil they use. All I do is bring the car there and just let them do their job. But I think, based on those prices, it would be safe to say that they used the semi synthetic on my PMS. On my receipts, it just says IGMO which I think stands for Isuzu Genuine Motor Oil. I am due for my 3rd PMS and I will ask them on what kind of oil they use.

not exactly... its usually multigrade oil... not unless the owner woudl say na synthetic ilagay either semi or fully... much better siguro uung crdi dmax nyo naka synthetic oil kayo... synthetic usually gamit ng ibang crdi engines... hindi pa kc crdi d-max namin but im using a fully synthetic oil every 5,000 kms na change oil... hehehe... and yeah original oil ng isuzu ang gigagamit ng casa,, dont know lang tlaga kung sinusunod nila yun...

I just had my 3rd PMS and it cost me P5,643.29. The service attendant at Isuzu told me that they give discount if customers pay in cash. So those figures that I have posted previously, I checked it with what they have and it's still the same but as per the attendant, those prices will be cheaper if I'll pay in cash.

For the query of Ms. st_omach, I also inquired on what kind of oil they use. The first attendant told me something but he couldn't really tell me in what category does it belong whether synthetic or semi synthetic. So the other attendant butt in and he said it's mineral oil.

My odometer already registered 10,799 when I had my 3rd PMS and so far so good.

*jarhead: You're using fully synthetic oil and still you change oil every 5,000 kms!?! Well I guess if your truck could only speak, it would really thank you a lot.hehe I have tried using a fully synthetic oil once in my other car and it was so expensive. I used Mobil 1. But I always have my service ever 5k so I said that it is not necessary to use fully synthetic anymore.

yup i am changing oil every 5,000kms even if im using a fully synthetic oil... you to take into consideration not just the oil you are using but also the OIL FILTER itself... those things arent designed to last or filter good for a long time... your oil might last but your filter wont be in its full capacity to filter or do its job... if your thinking that it cost alot, not that much because i have found an oil brand that has the fully synthetic grade or quality but is very cheap and still is a good brand... you could look for MANN_HUMMEL oils if you want.. they have this fully synthetic oil that is just affordable... not like mobil1 which is like 500+ pesos for every liter... i tried using the petron all-terrain and didnt like the performance it gave for a fully synthetic oil...

Avanza owner po ako and

I'm planning to acquire a pick-up, ang choices ko kc is DMAX or Estrada. Pwede i-convince nu ako to buy Dmax na lang.

Could you please share me some inputs:
Power?
FC?
Maintenance?
Price?
Looks, parehong oks skin.
others

pls,pls,pls

bro the best thing to do is post a new thread under CAR COMPARISON. STRADA bro, walang pick up na ESTRADA.

i strongly suggest to test drive both vehicles, i guarantee you, there's no other way to compare.

Ok guys I just had my clutch replaced under warranty from Isuzu Ayala Cebu.

So for those of you who have been experiencing that horrific sounding clatter sound when you depress the clutch when idling/parked here is what we found during the service - defective clutch spring.

It wasn't the release bearing as we earlier suspected - that bearing was perfectly intact. They simply replaced the clutch disc with an OEM type. Wish I could provide pictures but I didn't bring my cam at the time of service which was done in less than two hours. As it turned out, in 2008, they have replaced defective clutch springs in about 5 D-max units.

Kudos to Nolan and his super efficient 'Pit Crew' who made the replacement look like child-play. They even checked my suspension, some electricals, fluids, etc.

Mystery solved
