Strada PMS thread [ARCHIVED]

[ThePatriarch]

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, maasahan ninyo ang tulong ko.

patay, nagalit na si arvin hehehe... baka sabihin naman nila bully tayo... i still believe na kaya sa diplomasya yan... i can still remember a fellow tsikoteer who said na hindi lahat madadaan sa diplomasya hehehe, buti na lang hindi si arvin ang nakaharap nya hahahahaha

(parang good cop, bad cop tayo ah! hehehe)

pero good thing din yun na kapag nakita nila na TSCP member, they know that we dont just accept whatever BS that they will say para makalusot sila...

hehehehehe uy ha!!! hindi pa ako galit!!! nakangiti na ako, naubos na galit ko sa SA ni boyet..hehehehehhe

medyo kailangan pa talaga ayusin siguro na ang mga members natin iba dapat ang trato... hayaan ninyo at pag na pa accredit na natin sa head office nila, mas gaganda ang tako ng mga servicing sa atin!! sana!! hehehe

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

thanks sir arvin.

Mga sirs,

I'll be having my 1000km pms this monday. I'm thinking of going for a motul 10w-40 oil. My unit is 3.2, okay lang po ba siya? Also, since I'll be bringing my own oil, mga ilang liters po kaya ang kelangang bilhin at dalhin sa dealership for the said pms?

hi sir!

if your going to use motul for your new truck....I would suggest that you go for the CRDi specific engine oil na, which has a 5w-40 grade kasi konti nalang naman ang difference sa price, so you might as well get the better one...

then for the quantity since you have a Gls sport which has the 4m41 it would be 9 liters....

another thing, I would also suggest that instead of getting two gallons and a 1 liter bottle of motul....you might wanna consider buying 3 gallons na. for you to save time narin on going back to the store on buying another liter for your 5k km topup......and if Im correct makaka save ka na rin ng few hundred bucks na pwede na mapunta sa fuel tank mo.....

and BTW Autoplus the official distributor of motul engine oils here in our country offers a 10% club discount on Stradas with Club stickers so you might want to sign up muna before you buy just in case...sayang din yun...

Hope it Helps!

Okay sana na maka-sign up ako sa club pero monday na sched ko for pms eh. Sir crdi specific na rin yung 10w-40, according sa website ng motul. So mas mahal ba yung 5w-40 compared sa 10w-40? Thanks.

sayang naman sir.... well anyway the good thing is...pwede nyo pa namang ma take advantage yung privelege na yun on your following PMS's:after you sign up for your membership....=D

with regards naman sa oil....I didn't know na may 10w-40 pala na Crdi Specific...kasi what the majority of motul fans in the club uses the 5w-40 grade....maybe sa iba country siguro available yung nakita mo sa website na yun... for the price naman hindi naman siguro ganun kalaki ang difference ng dalawa...so since ganun nga I think you'll better stick na dun sa 5w-40 na grade...

But again...just like what sir arvin is always pointing out....yung availability nung oil within your area is a must...kasi nga naman baka mamaya maganda naman oil tapos bihira naman mag stock yung suking auto supply especially yung mga nasa provinces...you might end up using din whats available diba?
which is inde naman maganda sa engine dahil nga dapat, Well at least
"5 years same dapat ang oil na ginagamit mo para smooth lagi ang takbo ng engine"

but in your case sir gaiden....if I'm not mistaken manila area ka lang? so sourcing out a motul dealer wouldn't be too much of a problem^_^

From pangasinan ako sir. hehe. I've read in motul's website, however, that they also have a local distributor in Dagupan, which is just some minutes drive from our place; kaya okay na okay na rin para sa akin.

Thank you so much sir sa advise. Tanong ko na lang din, if ever ba na sa casa bumili ng oil, may supply ba sila, for example ng motul?

mitsu casas do not carry other brands that would compete sa in house oils nila... but they should accept owner supplied oils without any charge basta equal or mas maganda ang rating sa stock oils

[GAIDEN]

I see. Thanks sir!

[GAIDEN]

Mga sir, maliban sa mandaluyong, san pala sa metro manila makakabili ng motul oil? meron ba nito sa banawe?


At tanong ko na lang din kung ano landmark na malapit sa autoplus sa mandaluyong, if southbound along edsa ang route. Thanks

sir tama din yan, for me si azul my ride ay 25k pms na sya. simula noon pa until now i'm using the casa supplied oil. xp fully syn yun nilalagay nila, wala naman akong nagiging problema pa, sa price halos ganun din po wala pang hazzle. i think car manufacturer's provide best oil for thier trucks. pero kung gusto nyo ma upgrade pa ng unti ang oil ng truck nyo, be sure you had the right type of oil dahil kung di tyo sigurado tulad ko di ako masyado maalam jan, stick nalang ako to casa provided oil. baka lalo pang maunsyami truck naten hehehehe......hope it helps...

share lang po......thanks hehehe

Hi BOSBs,

I have noticed a squeaking sound on my 4 months old STRADA GLX, when i pump the clutch and a knocking soung during idle. Curious and a bit worried, i brought my unit to Citimotors Makati. They advise me to leave the unit today for initial inspection. I've followed-up on them (5pm, 01-04-2010) and they said that this may require clutch dropping for further troubleshooting on the root of the issue.

Q&A:
1) Anyone have experienced similar issue on their STRADA?
2) Is this covered by the warranty?
3) If NO, anyone have any idea how much this may cost me?
4) How long does it take to drop/re-assemble the clutch?

Verry Much Worried...

Nagmamahal,
Ate Charo

[notEworthy27]

Hindi kaya sticking clutch? Might just need to get the clutch plate cleaned. After years of using my strada, wala pa naman ganung klaseng tunog na lumalabas...though madalas ng napalitan ang clutch kit ko. hehehehe. :twak:

ate charo,

1) i experienced the sound coming from my clutch... pero after complaining it, nawala naman after my 25k PMS... pero the problem might be different from what I've experienced, madumi lang daw yung clutch ko

2) definitely covered yan ng warranty unless may ginalaw ka sa unit mo that would void your warranty... otherwise, you should not spend a single centavo to have that fixed/remedied

3) and 4) no idea po...

truly yours,

Salamat Kuya Cesar,
Pag nagkataon at sisingilin nila ako, ay hindi ko na lang ipapagawa sa kanila, ilalabas ko na lng nang tumutunog kesa magpaloko ako. ang contingency plan ko ay ibungo ng malakas at ipasok sa insurance para sila na ang bahala mag usap ng CASA sa damages. atleast pag ganoon ay participation lang ang babayaran ko...

bro kimospeed,

kapag hindi maayos ang reply ng citimotors, try mo sa diamond motors. TSCP members are treated well there, I think, hehe...

Sir TP,

Wala po akong kakilala sa Diamond Motors e, pero pag nagkataon po, try ko humingi ng contacts sa mga fellow BOSBs.

Thanks po and nice meeting you sa South EB.
