Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[shadow3616931]

hi,

namimili pa ako last week between innova j gas m/t vs avanza 1.5 g a/t and i decided na to just purchase avanza a/t kc im a first timer driver and nagseek din ako dito ng advise..so after weighing the pros and cons, avanza na kukunin..just submitted my papers sa HR
final quote after deducting the fleet discount is php768 vs innova j m/t na 753...one reason aside from a/t sya eh dahil accessory wise, mas madami sya ( mags na vs hub cap sa innova,me central lock na sya,fog lamp,power windows and outer mirror,airbags,defooger,etc)...convenience for me kc mag aaral pa ako or maghahanap ng mga addl na ilalagay ....pinapalagay ko na din as additional freebies ung back sensor...
toyota bicutan,karen bautista and ito number nya :

Innova J walang rear wiper and washer mahalaga ito sa hi-way pag umuulan.

I just have a newly bought Avanza delivered to me just last month October. My question is my total mileage is currently 560km.

According to Toyota, there's a 1000km and 5000km free maintenance checkup, excluding the consumables. My question is since I'll be using the car very rarely, it might take 10 months before it reaches 1000 km and even 5000km.

So if I brought the car for free maintenance checkup on the 10th month, will it still be free?

I see. OK, so I'll bring the car for the PMS after 3 months. The warranty booklet also states that the PMS is every 3 months.

Now, after the first 3 months is finished, and if I rarely use the vehicle, let's say if it only runs 100 km a month, is it still practical to bring it to toyota every 3 months for the PMS?

IMO, if you seldom use your car and never reach 5000kms in 3 mos like mine it's been 5 mos since my last PMS I still lack 1000kms (odo reading 19k), I just follow what I've been practicing, check the color of oil and check the viscosity by checking the rate of dripping when pulling the deep stick. Di naman siguro mag eexpire ang langis in 6 mos. Paging junlatorre kaw expert dito....

I just bought a 4 liters Single Grade PETRON MOTOR OIL MO-30 with SAE grade 30 and Exceeds API. It costs 450 pesos.

Is this OK with Avanza for top off?

I also plan to bring this Petron Motor Oil in toyota ortigas for my first 1000km oil change. Do you think they will accept it, won't it void the warranty?

[_Qwerty_]

450 pesos for 4 liters? is that the correct oil for our Avanza?

some CASA doesn't allow you to bring your own oil.. you should have called them first and ask.

[yagami_kira]

Yes. it's 450 pesos for 4 liters. The manual recommends 5W-30 and API compliant.

The Petron Motor Oil MO-30 I bought is for gasoline engine and has an SAE grade 30 and exceeds API. Since we don't experience much cold weather especially in my place in Rizal area, a multigrade oil is not required. Is that presumption true?

Here is Petron's detail about the motor oil from their website:
PETRON MOTOR OIL is a cost effective, single-grade oil intended primarily for use in gasoline and diesel engines of passenger cars running in mild operating conditions.
Properties:
· Protects engines against low temperature sludge formation and rust
· Provides satisfactory performance in either high speed, over-the-road or stop-and-go service due to good chemical stability
· Excellent detergency
· Low tendency to form carbon deposits

ang alam ko pwede kang magdala ng sarili mong oil sa casa i-inform mo lang yung SA para di na nya isama sa quotation mo.....yung isang officemate ko mobil oil naman ang dinadala nya sa toyota pasong tamo ang oto nya 2002 toyota echo, oks lang daw at nakakmura sya

[yagami_kira]

OK lang kaya sa engine ng Avanza kahit hindi multigrade yung Petron MO-30?

[yagami_kira]

btw, the rating of the MO-30 is exceeds API SD/CC

Para safe, wag na lang mag mix ng different brands of oil.

Sana puwedeng magamit mo sa next change oil na lang.

kakagaling lang namin sa bank-allied dito sa probinsiya. may bagong labas daw na avanza j with new colors - black at aqua blue. pero tumaas srp dahil may nadagdag daw na new features. ang siste pa niyan, 10k lang ang discount na binibigay, both from cabanatuan and otis-- dahil nga bagong labas daw.

hay, mga katoto, baka may advise pa kayo diyan. very much welcome po. it's our first time to buy brand new kaya gusto rin naming makasigurong we are getting a good deal.

and also if you still have contact nos. (kahit cp nos lang) ng kakilala niyong mga dealers, very much appreciated kung ipopost niyo dito. SALAMAT!! ang hirap kasi na dito kami sa probinsiya based. very limited ang contacts.

first i would like to say good luck na lang sana makatapat ka ng good SA kasi may bad experience din ako before so, di ko pwedeng i-recommend sya although nagmake -up naman sya sa kalokohan nya but still MANLOLOKO pa rin.

I see. OK, so I'll bring the car for the PMS after 3 months. The warranty booklet also states that the PMS is every 3 months.

You can consult with an SA (service Advisor) kung paano ang maintenance ng low milage car. Para safe pa rin ang warranty mo.

Ang transmission oil ay pinapalitan every 40,000 Km. Kasabay ng iba pang fluids and lubricants.

ako, when i had my 10km check-up last january, vanzy was 11 months old already w/ only 7.7km w/ reg oil only. i was reminded by toyota for my 15km check-up later part of May but was able to go there just last Thurs., barely 10months after my last pms. now, i have changed my oil to semi-synthetic as advised by my SA because it almost took me a year bago magpa pms.

this is the good news i left my vanzy at the casa for an overnight during that pms because my SA told me that the carpet i've requested during my last check-up was delivered a month after, so, february pa lang nasa kanya na yong order ko.kaya masaya kong iniwan si vanzy and YES bago na ang carpet ko!

btw, do I still have to schedule an appointment in TYT ortigas if I want to do a simple 1K PMS just for the change oil and oil filter? Or I can just pass there anytime I have time without scheduling?

As much as possible set an appointment para hindi masayang ang oras mo.

[yagami_kira]

There's something I've noticed today. I have a 1.3 silver avanza, the lowest variant (PHP 592,000)

Nung pagkabasa ko sa manual, all the door locks lock/unlock simultaneously with the driver's door.

Pero kapag nilock/unlock ko naman yung driver's door hindi naman nalock/naunlock yung iba. Ganito ba talaga sa 1.3? nakalagay kasi sa manual?

[Padrino]

I think the Avanza user's manual covers all variants. For the 1.3J variant, power locks are not a feature so hindi sasabay yung ibang door pag sinusian mo yung driver's.

Appointment is great, pero sakin sinabi be early, before 8am, pila nalang. When i got my 1k PMS, andoon ako sa TYT Ortigas ng 7am, i was the 4th person there, nung dumating mga service personal ng 8am, binigay namin ang mga PMS forms, naging pang 3rd ako sa pila

So suggestion ko, kung kaya mo maging maaga, maaga karin matatapos

[xmb]

yung ibang casa kasi hindi pumapayag na magdala ka nang sarili mong oil.
