2016 Toyota Fortuner

[babkalakal]

Mga sir, the maintenance I do on my fortuner 2016 diesel a/t is this:
Every 5k change oil and filter.
Every 10k or 15k change air filter sa engine and air filter sa aircon.

But I need to know when:
Change atf?
Change coolant?
Change break fluid?
Change rear oil differential?
Change fuel filter?
Timing belt or timing chain?

And for the atf and oil differential, what oil to use?

check your manual for types and intervals. you would not be wrong. i cannot remember specifically but sae gl5 for the differential.

only things i personally would replace more often than recommended is the fuel filter and cabin filter. where I live and gas up they tend to get dirty quite fast but they are also both cheap enough and easy enough to change out.

i'm a dumb loyalist for motolite.
see what your owner's manual says, should be the minimum specifications of the battery.

Get the Motolite EXCEL (green color). Motolite's most expensive line up and lasts longer than their regular models. But still better to install CTEK batt charger to prolong batt life (regardless of battery brand)...

try the motolite gold. i would say better value for your money than yung top model nila na motolite excel. the excel lasted 22mos lang compared sa warranty na 24mos. but since under warranty pa, pinalitan ng motolite for free[emoji4]

Hi JasonRey,

Totally drained na yung casa supplied battery ko kahapon. Yung made in Indonesia. Inabot din ng 2 years. Sabi ng Motolite normally 1 year lang daw yun, so swerte narin kahit paano. Type DIN66 ang pinalit, yan daw ang equivalent nung stock na nasa atin.

Thanks,
ShortRider

that's the kind of deal i secretly pray for.

[jasonrey]

thanks everyone for the replies.

also a diehard Motolite user. our Revo had the Motolite Enduro, which was going 4 years until we sold our unit early this year.

will just check the different model based on the offers.

thanks again

the MOtolite Excel models I have in my cars (gas and diesel SUV's) usually breaches 4 years of regular use that is why i like them. I also live in the city of pines where cranking power of battery are at their highest during the cold season...
One Motolite Excel even lasted 6 years in my LC BJ44....

but if you really want a long lasting and hardy battery with a strong reserve and cranking power, get the gel-type like the OPTIMA

i have no experience with gel-type optima.
is it worth the advertised thrice-the-cost of conventional motolites?

guys. question lang. just got my 2019 fort v yesterday. i just realized the proximity sensors are quite sensitive! is it just me or anyone also has the same issue with the new sensors?

usually benz use the optima battery.... though dont think it will last 3 times as long though.... i am considering to buy the ctek battery charger though...
some claim that it can extend the life of the battery....

many years ago, when we were young and poor-ish, we used to trickle-charge our battery. in our opinion, it did increase battery life. we just don't do it nowadays, dahil... "la lang. tamad."
i think, any ordinary battery charger, used regularly, can increase car battery life.

thanks. any idea on how many months it can extend its battery life? in cold weather alam ko it really improves it a lot...

well,
kuya was trickle-charging his battery, and i was not.
his battery lasted 4 years. i replaced mine after 2 years.
he was willing to go the hassle. i prefered to sleep.

for regular daily use, no. For extreme offroading, and severe cold weather, yes, as the Optima is leak-proof and u can mount it anyway u want. Still MOtolite Excel for me....

i did think, the optima was designed for off-road use and vehicles that get abused as a matter of raison de etre.
champion by motolite dati ako. until they raised the price.

Mga bossing, my fortuner 2016 is a G variant so hindi sa LED yung headlights. Now gusto ko syang maging LED headlights, meron po bang plug and play nun o kailangan conversion kit? What brand is good and how much would it cost?

my un-solicited, tongue-in-cheek, matamaan-na-ang-matamaan respond:
"remove your front windshield tint. having done that, you may not think you need a headlight upgrade after all."
