2014 Suzuki swift 1.2

[keithdb]

I check all fluid levels at least 2x a month. The coolant, i top up at least once a year. But my cars are over 5 years old.

but i am curious... what sort of answer were you "expecting" ?
frankly, i was surprised why you asked... because car owners of my age... all these were standard practice in my day.. pati nga battery water and tire pressure including spare...
my father would criticize me if i didn't do these.. thanks, dad.

well, by the way you asked the question (#1292), it seemed to me, i was being taunted.

but scrolling down your previous entries.... you really are a newbie! and your question was really an innocent question!

i am sorry!

well, i hope you learned that you do have to check the coolant levels and add to it, if necessary. and as long as the engine hood is already up, ... might as well check the other fluids..

i live and learn...

my apologies.

... reminds me of my colleague... never checked coolant levels in the first 2 years of ownership, because he was not aware he had to monitor it... when he finally had the radiator checked because the casa SA recommended it, the top tub was already bone dry.. dinagdagan lang.. wala namang nasira.. we, including him, all had a good laugh..

no worries dr. d. mahirap talaga mapahatid ang tone sa forums. i might have sounded taunting, pero gusto ko talaga malaman. hahaha. nothing to compare it to eh.

As was mentioned in one of the earlier replies:

B - battery
L - lights
O - oil
W - water
B - brake
A - air
G - gas (or diesel)
E - engine
T - tire
S - self (driver)

This mnemonic was made precisely so that you will not miss anything.☺ Dati blowbag lang to. Now they added to it naging blowbagets na. It will serve you well if you develop good habits and consciously check these items regularly.

Do all of these have transparent/translucent reservoir?

Can't check yet eh. Car's still in the Casa.

[StockEngine]

dipstick and paper towels.

brake fluid and rad reservoir bro madali makita kung need itop up.

yung atf (if your using AT) engine oil via dipstick lang. make sure lang na check mo fluid levels bago mo start ang engine. hth


btw bakit nasa casa bro?

Fender bender. Yupi yung left fender and gasgas left side ng bumper.

Ang tagal nga ng binigay saking estimate eh, two weeks daw. Nung monday pa lang nasimulan.

Tagal din ng Commonwealth insurance, almost 3 weeks bago naapprove.

[ninjababez]

^bpi ms ba?

[Jepster]

Commonwealth paps. first and last time I'm going with them. "Free" kase eh, so hindi ako nakapili.

ah ok. sakin din sa bpi ms free din. kaya pala may delay eh di muna nila ginagawan ng policy hanggat walang claim. ayun inabot ng halos 1 month bago ma approve.

[SkyFlakes88]

Policy's should be issued when you get your cars. Always ask for your policy. They can deny claims pag wala pong policy.

Style kasi yan nang ibang mga insurer in case walang claim yun free talagang free nga. Didn't cost the insurer anything.violation yan sa insurance commission

[ninjababez]

yun nga bro eh, parang nadulas lang yun kausap ko sa bpi nung nabanggit nya yan, kasi humihingi ako ng paliwanag kung bakit nga walang policy. eh di ba ayaw nga ng banks ilabas ang auto sa dealership ng walang insurance pag naka loan ang auto.

[SkyFlakes88]

May arrangement na kasi mga in house na loans sa banks at insurance. Kaya lang nakakatakot yan kasi pwedeng ideny yun claim. Yan kasi sakit nang mga nagbabaksak nang presyo naghahanap paraan makatipid d gagawa nang policy kung walang claim in case wala nga e d libre na rin sila sa pagbabayad nang fee sa government. Remember most of the insurance co.na nagbabagsak na rate is unstable. In the end pag tinamaan sila nang madaming malalaking claim magdedeclare sila bankrupt na sila. Dami na case ganyan dito sa atin. Observe nyo lang kung mabilis yun release nang unit nyo at approval sa claim. Kung walang problema dapat mabilis lang yan sir.
