2004' Altis question

[bluerolla]

sir nung pinacheck ko po yung langis sabi sakin ng mekaniko, mejo malapot na daw kaya pwede ko na daw po palitan, tapos ako na lang po ulit mag-monitor every 5k para papalitan yung oil. tama po ba? nakalimutan ko po kasi itanong sa may-ari kung kelan sila last nagpalit ng oil.

available po ba yung toyota synthetic oil sa labas or casa lang? ano po ba yung alternative na magandang oil para sa altis kung hindi po sa casa dadalin para papalitan ng oil?

eh yung mga timing belt, fan belt? kelan po papalitan? kasi hindi ko po matandaan yung sinabi ng mekaniko na palitan ko na din daw po yung fan belt or timing belt ata kasi luma na daw, original pa din daw po yung nakakabit which means hindi pa napapalitan.

maraming salamat po sa mga suggestions at explanation mga sir.

not sure sa fan at timing belt... pero I'm sure yung sakin po eh napalitan na... I use Mobil super syntetic... Okay naman sya. yung yung suggestion ng casa samin...(sa casa kami nag papa change oil ha) every 10k ang palit pero every 5k eh nirereplenish yung engine oil...

Hi, I own also a 2004 altis 1.6E. Kung tignan mo yung owner's manual nya ang nakalagay na schedule ng change oil ay every 10k km, pero kung basahin mo mabuti yung nakalagay sa manual, ang sabi is change oil every 5k km if driving mostly in polluted and dusty conditions.
Ako ginagawa ko change oil at oil filter every 5k km or every 6 mos whichever comes first, mineral oil or synthetic. Gamit ko Motul Htech 10W40 fully synthetic oil. Mas madalas ka dapat mag change oil kasi documented na yung sludging problem ng 3zz engine. Ang prevention nito is regular change oil on time, wag mo intayin mag 10k km mileage mo bago k mag change oil, other than that super reliable naman ang altis

you can also open the engine top cover by yourself basta marunong ka at maingat ka trumabaho. madali lang naman. mga 10+ bolts lang

i have a 2004 altis 1.6E MT. 98K km

para magka idea ka, eto pic ng akin.


i highly recommend to open the top cover since its a 2nd hand vehicle.

5k km change oil and filter interval seems to be the best prevention for our sludging problems. it worked for me.

strictly follow your vehicle's PMS.

* LN106G - "Ako ginagawa ko change oil at oil filter every 5k km or every 6 mos whichever comes first, mineral oil or synthetic. Gamit ko Motul Htech 10W40 fully synthetic oil." - tatandaan ko po ito. salamat sir.


* aejhayl17 - salamat sa pic sir, atleast may idea na po ako, gusto ko kasi maalagan yung binili namin 2nd hand na kotse para tumagal po samin, hanap muna ako trusted autoshop here in pasig para pabukas ko yung top cover ng ng makina at masilip, tapos makapag-pachange oil na din po ako.

hindi ko po kasi kaya buksan yung cover ng makina e at baguhan pa po ako sa larangan ng mga kotse.

anyway salamat po ulit mga sir, maghahanap po muna ako ng mga trusted mechanic na sinasaggest dito sa forum, kung meron po kayo masa-suggest na autoshop/mechanic in pasig area pa-post na lang po.

salamat ulet!

Kung naghahanap ka ng trusted mechanic, sa Speedyfix mo dalin. Malapit lang sa Pasig, along Shaw Blvd ang shop nila. Si Migs ang may ari (nagpopost din sya dito sa tsikot) at sya mismo ang magaasist sa iyo sa shop, makikita mo pa habang ginagawa. Heto website nila: http://www.speedyfixph.com/

Wag mo dadalin kotse mo sa Rapide. Madaming bad experiences ang mga members natin dyan. Backread mo na lang yung ibang topics dito para malaman mo mga nangyari sa kotse nila.

Linis pa din makina mo sir a. Ano gamit mo na oil? thanks

Change the oil every 5,000kms. There are too many cases of sludging already that occured with those who followed the 10K change oil service interval.

Plugs - NGK BKR6E-11
Coolant - Anything red (i just buy the premix at the Toyota dealer) then add in a bottle of RP Purple Ice or Red Line Water Wetter if you want.
PS Fluid - any Dexron III rated ATF will do
Brake Fluid - Prestone DOT 3
Motor Oil - Shell, Caltex, Mobil, Royal Purple, etc... almost any oil with at least API SL/SM rating should do. If you want to avoid any possible leaks, go with 20W40 or 15W-40 weight oil. What's important is you change every 5,000kms.

don't forget to clean the brakes every 10,000kms and have the MAF sensor cleaned as well with some contact cleaner or carb cleaner (its the sensor after the airbox). Have your fuel filter and air filters checked as well.

On the timing belt, the Altis uses a timing chain and this does not need any replacement.
