2004' Altis question

[meledson]

mga sir another question po.

since 2nd owner po ako nung car na binili namin, advicesable po ba na sa casa ko pa din ipa-change oil or ipa-repair yung car kapag may problem, or s mga reputable/recommended auto shop na lang?

salamat po.

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

actually, puwedeng DY ang change oil at palit oil filter

ako diy na since 75k until now, madali lang namen, pero kung major repairs, sa trusted mech pa din.

sa ngayon po dalin ko muna sa auto shop, kasi bago lang po ako sa mundo ng mga sasakyan, tsaka pinagaaralan tsaka research ko pa po yung proper maintenance, salamat sa tsikot.com at sa inyo mga sir madami ako natutunan.

mga sir pahabol na tanong po..... since gas po ang gamit ko, ano po ang recommended gas na dapat ko gamitin kapag sa shell, Petron or caltex po ako magpapakarga.

salamat!

[meledson]

ordinary unleaded gas lang ang gamit ko sa altis namin.

2002 1.6E mga pala

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

Sir, I'm new to this thread. I have a 2003 Altis E variant. Does it also use timing chain instead of a timing belt? Would you happen to know when will I need to replace it?

Thanks!

afaik, 100k km ang check/replace ng timing chain ng 3ZZ-FE engine. not sure though if in that 100k pms, replacing it with a new one or just have it check and adjusted. kung anu siguro ang recommended. check youg manual na lang sir

Its already timing chain (2001 model and up) and this does not need replacement unless the engine was not maintained properly. Best you can do is to have the tensioners checked if you want or hear any clatter.

Our Nissan Sentra with a timing chain is already 17 years old and up to now its running on the original chain and tensioners (105,000kms); another Sentra we had with over 150,000kms never had its tensioners or chain changed as well.
