Strada PMS thread [ARCHIVED]

[Pol-pol]

Update ko lang yung knocking sound sa steering column of my strada... I had my 15k PMS and had the knocking sound resolved...and it was resolved. Medyo natagalan lang yung truck ko sa diamond, inabot ng 1 week. Pero baka kasi nag-paternity leave si JR kaya hindi ako na-notify agad. Anyway, it has been a week and NO knocking sound using the stock wheels. I installed by ralliart rims, still NO knocking sound the entire day...so far so good.

Am glad that I was able to make a warranty claim.

^^^That's good news, sir pol-pol.

According to the manual, it recommends API classification GL-3 SAE 75w-85 for manual transmission oil and API GL-3/GL-4 SAE 75w-85/75w-90 for transfer oil. SAE-90 for the differential oil. During my last PMS, casa used 10 liters EP-90 for all oil replaced. I'm assuming this is SAE 90 which should have been for the differential oil only. I checked w/ Motul and RP, and they have these different viscosities. Will drop by local dealer of Mitsubishi products to check on this EP-90.

Update lang regarding my manual transmission. Last week, I changed my manual transmission oil and transfer oil using RP Max-Gear SAE 75w-90. Before, I have difficulty getting into 2nd gear early in the AM. Sometimes, from 1st gear, I skip to 3rd gear para lang maipasok at umarangkada. Now, smooth na pasok sa 2nd gear, tapos smoother, quicker ang shifting.
I'm just wondering why my casa did not follow the recommended viscosity as stated in the manual. Which makes me want to ask sir Dadz kung puede nya itanong dyan sa MMTh kung ano gamit nila na gear oil before sending out the units to the Phils.
Sa mga mag-30k PMS, better check out kung tama ang gear oil na nilalagay ng casa.
Sir Ian, may inside info ka ba regarding this issue?

Feedback: Although Mr. Boyet was accommodating, Mr. Joselito Bitagan wasn't. He was the SA assigned to me. He didn't do his job well, no advise that my car was done through text, my complaints, he answered with "okay na yan sir". What the *beep*, I told him, what kind of answer is that, i'll be writing MMPC a complaint letter regarding that guy, so if you guys will go to Diamond Quezon Ave., if this guy is assigned to you, request for a change SA.

2nd: the discount card MMPC gives on parts 35%, Diamond Quezon Ave., says it's only applicable, told them, show me where in the card it says that, and the lady answered, it was a direction from Diamond Marcos Hwy., so I told the lady, why is it at Diamond Valle, which is the same management, didn't mention this when I had my 20K PMS, she said it was through Ms. Cristy Albesa who is from Marcos Hwy branch who said its only for cash transaction. She couldnt provide a written memo.

Just read Montero PMS thread, and oil filter of Montero (*DCT Holdings - Mitsubishi Balintawak) was on P896.90 vs Strada oil filter P1042.72

Has any member tried to have PMS at Mitsubishi Balintawak? Give your feedback.

^^^ patay sila kay av8or5... bro baka hindi naintindihan nung SA mo yung american slang mo kaya yun na lang ang nasabi hahahaha

kidding aside, hindi dapat ganun ang mga SA... sila pa naman ang front liner when it comes to servicing their customers... wag mo muna paabutin sa MMPC, report mo na lang muna kay Boyet, siguradong sangkaterbang mura ang aabutin nun

Tagalog po gamit ko or at least taglish. I informed Mr Boyet, but I was in a hurry na due to our xmas party so no time, but I have nothing bad to say about Mr. Boyet.

yup, mura nga montero oil filter vs strada although same engine... that's why I am wondering if same model filter lang sila. Muhkang that discount card has different policy depending on the dealership...but dapat same lang as it was implemented by MMPC and not a dealer promo/discount.

Si TP nga meron service discount..ako wala, but it's okay...ganun talaga ang buhay.

indeed sir, its 0w40w.. talaga sir LR, its too fine for a 1k pms?

[beni23]

mga sir, saan po makakuha niyang discount card? malapit na po akong magpamaintenance ulit. yung SA ko po sa quezon ave mabait naman, si Aurelio Parado. although maluwag na yung foglamps cover ko dahil may naputol ata siya nung nagpapalit ako ng bulb.

[Arvin Cristi]

indeed sir, its 0w40w.. talaga sir LR, its too fine for a 1k pms?

sir out, ang 0w40, oks lang din naman gamitin... basta ang base unit mo is 40w, ... actually kung bago pa lang yung sasakyan kaya niyan yung medyo malabnaw na langis pero siyempre eventually lalaki ang mga clearance kaya pabigat ng pabigat din ang langis na gagamitin mo. what i would suggest is to just make sure na palaging may supply yung langis na kukunin mo. hidni kasi tama kung paiba iba ka ng langis every change oil, mapag iiwanan ka lang ng napakaraming basura sa oil pan mo kung ganun ang gagawin. i highly reccomend to stick to one oil, whatever brand it may be... but please get synthetic para mas maganda ang treatment and life ng makina

thanks a lot sir AC.. i love the power of my truck and i want to maximize it and push it to the limit so i thought of pampering it with the best oil available in the market..(1st 3.2L ko kasi ito eh!) any specific brand suggestion/recomendation?

tia

[Arvin Cristi]

sir out, baka lang kasi lumabas ako na biased pero motul ang gamit ko na synth sa strada tapos mobil sa motorsiklo. pero kung brand ang paguusapan, gaya ng earlier post ko, basta kung ano yung readily available sa market ninyo na mukhang tatagal naman yung stocking nila at medyo kilala na pangalan. medyo madami na din kasi na brands na magaganda ang produkto. not including the local big 3 may motul, mobil, castrol, royal purple, enoco, quacker, penzoil... napakami na din kasi manufacturers ngayun.

Just stick to the more known brands sir

[Arvin Cristi]

sir arvin oks lang ba gamitin ang 15w-50 fully synthetic oil ng shell?

hi anton, i don't suggest 15w-50, masyado malapot yun para sa makina natin.

minimum mo should be 40. basically all engines have a minimum requirement of 40. any higher masyado lalapot na, i only use 50 sa mga industrial engines ko na luma na because of the bigger clearances within the engine.

hope this helps

rally, dapat ang ginawa mo muna is sa akin mo muna dapat idinaan mo yung complaint mo regarding the SA or kahit diretso kay boyet. sending a letter direct to the plant or whoever else is just a weee bit of OA for now. I'm sorry if am reacting like this, but syempre proprotektahan ko din si boyet kahit papaano.

ngayun, yung SA na yun. Pati ako pinag mumura ko na this morning when i went to the shop... you can say na it's just a little retribution. as usuall wala naman isasagot yung mga yun kundi sorry po, pasensya na po. pero medyo naka boundary na ako ng mura sa kanya for the week.. and most of you guys know how i react and curse pag hindi ko gusto ang nagyayari.

pakiusap ko lang ngayun sa lahat na magpapagawa sa Diamond Q. ave. kung may issues kayo regarding their service please let me know para ma address natin kaagad within their company. there is no need to drag the brand into their problem unless until talagang wala na tayong magawa. i believe i have enough clout in their organization to push some people around especially with in their service department. Please take note, i am willing to help within reason, basta nasa tama tayo at praktikal ang mga hinihingi natin, amaasahan ninyo ang tulong ko.
