Metro Manila driving condition is not considered as normal driving condition ... heavy traffic ... dusty environment ...

I agree with sir ssaloon. I follow the mileage at 5k km interval. There was a time the SA at Toyota told me that lumalagpas daw ako lagi ng 3 months for the PMS. I just told him di ba 5k km ang interval so mas madali kong matadaan kesa sa date...

yeah that's "severe". but driving in most provinces falls under "normal"

sabi ko nga it's not like that in other countries. alam din ni Toyota Japan yun, that pinoys are too stupid to realize that it's just fine to drive 10,000/6mo. modern engines and oils na eh. but of course Toyota Philippines rakes in a lot of money by preserving the status quo of 5000/3mo so why would they change it? eh willing victims na nga eh

sa ibang countries di makakalusot yan. but of course this is PH. kaya nga walang asenso diba

Hello! Just got our Innova E DSL A/T last night

A little over 8 months ang inabot bago na-deliver sa amin at sa wakas nakuha na din.

Anyways, question lang po...napansin ko kasi while driving it home last night may naramdaman akong konting jerk/arangkada when I release the brake pedal while gear is in neutral and naka-engage ang handbrake. Bale ang sequence ko when stopping ay:

1. step on brakes
2. engage handbrake
3. shift from D to N
4. release brake pedal (the moment na completely released na ang brake saka mag jerk forward ng konti)

Ilang ulit ko ginawa at ganun talaga. Is this normal sa Innova? Weird kasi dahil sa Vios A/T namin wala naman ganung jerk basta naka neutral na ang gear.

Thanks in advance!

Normal yan kasi diesel. Yung torque nasa low rpm kaya may jerking scenario

the difficulty between 10,000 km/6 months versus 5000 km/3 months, is that the adverse effects (if any) take a long time to become evident.

so, unless there has been a real study comparing these two schedules and engine longevity, under local conditions....

Manufacturers should install timer / counter (running time) on vehicle engines just like in generators ... so there is no more guesswork as to whether to follow distance covered or time used ...

From experience generally modern japanese engines can no doubt go on 10t kms oil change interval. Just make sure you use a good quality synthetic and a good filter.

However also from experience there are some engines more prone to sludge than others. Case in point toyota 1azfe sa old rav 4. Ive see a few with different amounts of sludge forming. Though i cannot be 100% sure of their upkeep if i were to own one I'd probably do 5t kms oil changes with a good quality oil even conventional only.
