2004' Altis question

[liteboxxx]

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.

salamat sir vinj.

Malinis pa rin loob ng makina mo . Nakausap ko iyong mayari ng Motorcraft Service Shop sa Banawe iyon lang obserbasyon nila sa makina ng Altis prone sa Sludge o hindi lang na maintain ang sasakyan sa pagpalit ng langis.

kasi po sa binili ng family ko na 2nd hand car na bihira lang po namin gamitin, minsan lang kapag kelangan talaga, kahit po ba bihira gamitin angt sasakyan, dapat every 5k milleage or 6 months palit agad para maiwasan ang sludge?

mejo busy pa po kasi ako sa work pero kapag nagka-free time ipapacheckup ko na po yung 2nd hand car na binili namin.

yup, its still advisable to change oil at 5k km kahit di naman madalas gamitin. 5k is 5k km. may mga service life kase ang mga oil. mas sinusunod ko yung 5k km intervals kesa sa 6months, para mas accurate kung ganu na ang tinatakbo ng oil ko. its just me.

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

correction, its only 94k km lang pala.

thanks, its casa maintained from 1k - 75k km (4 yrs). i used toyota synth oil that time. and toyota oil filter

75k-90k km, its redline 10w30. best oil i used on my ZZ, eto talaga, sobrang itim every 5k intervals. means na talagang nililinis niya loob ng makina, unlike ng toyota synth, brownish. toyota oil filter and Vic oil filter at the 85k.

at 88k km, i used shell's oil(yung para sa diesel, 20w50) for a week, eto yung after ondoy. palit din oil filter

now, im using a korean brand ZIC synth 0w40. caused me a lot of headaches(minor leaks and poor consumption). tagtipid kase ako for P1000/gal. Vic oil filter for P150 ata?

be very objective at your oil filter too, eto kase yung naglilinis din ng oil sa mga impurities.

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...

Walang timing belt ang Altis, so no worry..it's TIMING GEAR no need to replace.

you can go to any reputable friendly shops since its out of warranty period. sa casa na lang kung medyo critical parts ang kailangan.

Sa akin kung change oil lang sa Shell service station . Hindi naman ganoon kaselan ang pagpalit ng langis. Remind ko lang sa iyo tignan mong mabuti sa dipstick level kung sobra langis masama rin sa makina at kulang .
