speedyfix, wala ka bang package prize kung gusto ko palitan lahat ng oils?

**speedyfix** · November 5th, 2007 09:03 AM

onedayoldchick, wala pa bro... closest we have is Speedworks pero dito pa sa manila. sa north in mindanao ave

shadow, yup titipid sya. hard to give you an exact km/l savings though since it also depends on other conditions like weather and how you drive, etc. basta over a 10w40 oil it will be better for the milage. re: protection, hindi naman sa it won't protect the engine, pero it will be slightly thinner lang. for the gear oil, i suggest you use RP synchromax. specifically designed for honda tranny's. for the rear diff, it uses atf so you can use the RP max atf. around 3500 give or take for the tranny and the rear diff including labor.

flakez, wala pa sa south... furthest south we have palang now is Orange which is along pasong tamo pa...

another question, I read it somewhere that pag galing ka ng mineral hinde pwede gumamit kaaagd ng synthetic? dapat daw semi syn muna, totoo ba ito?

ok, thanks..I'll be visiting you this week or early next week, for the oil changes...wala bang package price pag pati engine oil na? sabay na yun 3 oil changes...hehehe, I'll just wait for Honda shaw to have my LTO stickers para sabay na ang punta ko...

how much pala yun per ltr/quart ng RP synchromax, ATF and engine oil? synthetic na lahat itong oils noh? then ang labor how much..can you PM me the breakdown pls...thanks...

Is there an oils for diesel test?

**speedyfix** · November 6th, 2007 07:04 AM

flakez, you ncan contact them here: 818-52-98, 752-71-73, email: customercare*orangeperformance.com or dominique*orangeperformance.com

shadow, no no reason you can't switch right away imo. i'll see what i can do about a discount if you get everything from us nalang. engine oil 440/lit, synchromax 700/liter, atf 650/lit. yup synthetic lahat. di pwede gear oil because it is not the correct fluid for the car. if you check the rear diff then you will see a sticker that says atf only. for the manual tranny naman pangit shifting nya sobra when you use thick gear oil.

edtf, what do you mean a diesel test?

After the oil change, no consumption in the first 3000 kms again... then after 4000, it started eating again. I am officially sick of this stuff.

Sir niky, in laymans term ano yung "had the engine checked for compression

Pag City Driving lang....hindi ako kumakarera....ano advise na mineral oil for Civic VTI and CRV?
