Try mo Flying V biodiesel. Or Seaoil Euro 4 compliant diesel.

Dear Mariposa : I was amazed by your FC considering a/t pa ang unit mo. May I ask..when you went for your pms, what engine oil did you use ? Mine is diesel J variant and my FC is aound 9.5km/li. It has been like that ever since I got it last april. am trying to have it reached to the level of 11 or 12km/li. The oil I used was Pureguard Mineral oil 10w 40. Just wondering may be the oil can make a difference. Thanks.

June 24 ko nakuha ko unit at 1k PMS noong July 3. mineral oil lang din gamit ko. Driving style cguro isang salik at kasamang swerte sa unit, kasi sa karanasan ko kahit identical unit, may mga kaibahan din performance.

Hanggat maari Shell fuel ko, kasi sila din nagpapasweldo sa akin. Hintayin natin d2 s Pinas ang GTL mix fuel, it is cleaner, more octane/cetane rating. Future gasoline, diesel at lubricant etc., will be made from gas not from conventional oil.

Sige, try ko. Will drain my tank first para konti lang matirang Caltex.

Napansin ko din, hindi constant yung engine note, parang ganito. rrrrrrrRRRRrrrrrrrrrrRRRRrrrrrrrrrrRRRRrrrrrrr
Small r's represent lower noise, big R's higher noise. May problema na kaya ang engine ko? I see most Fortuner G's on the same 2.5 engine and the engine note sounds much more refined.

Hi All,

I am currently in the market for a 2nd-hand Hilux 3.0 D4D. My budget will only get me a 2005-2006 model, what should I ask the seller about the car and what should I look for in the the service record to be sure na hindi sakin babagsak ang mga problems na naka-list sa thread na ito (choking, hard starting, etc.)?

Ano din mga kelangan ko gawin sa sasakyan once I buy it? Should I change anything like lubricant, pumps, injectors, etc?

Decided na ko sa Hilux kasi, I like the spacious cabin and view from its driver's seat.

Thank you.

Thank you Ms. Mariposa. I agree that driving habit play a big role in FC. Luckily I got 10 km/li from my last fill up. Nagulat ako at na-acheive ko un 10km/li. But I filled up my tank when the guage reach almost the 1/4 marker. I am going to try it again on my next trip to the gas station. By the way I used caltex since its cheaper than shell and petron in our area.

Sir Chuckieholic, try to get 2006 model. Balita raw safer ang mga 2006 and above na unit. Although this is not really full-proof that the unit will be a perfect one. Check also with the seller for the following : ok pa ang warranty ; fuel supply pump ( since this is always the culprit sa choking and hard-starting) ; compressor ng aircon. Hope this help.
