Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

**vinj** · June 26th, 2013 02:54 PM

Yes, pwede sa Toyota Pasig as well (i had my 15K service done at Pasig). They even asked me if i brought my own oil filter (i left my Baldwin filter at home... doh). The 1.6L Altis ZR engine uses around 4.2L to 4.3L of oil; i usually buy 2 gallons + 1 litre to cover two oil changes (tell the dealer to return the unused oil so you can use it on your next service and save a little).

You can order the K&N locally from shops such as Speedlab but it's cheaper to buy from the US. I bought mine online and had a relative hand carry it home; it cost me USD36 on Amazon last year. Part number is 33-2360. For me in the long run it is worth it (the drop-in filter) as i just have to clean this maybe once a year or so and there's no need to replace your filter after that. I noticed also i have better high rpm performance with the K&N filter on (i guess the engine is less strained to breathe at high rpm as against the conventional air filter).

yes cheaper cause for the same price, you can buy better oil.

If you know where and what oil to buy, yes. For the semi-synth oil i bring, it's cheaper and better than the regular mineral oil of the CASA.

Dati (when i changed rims/tyres, the nitro was free).

Pros: Matagal magbawas and pressure remain more consistent at running temperature.
Cons: You have to pay for a refill in most cases and you can't just put nitro anywhere; in my case, my refills were all using gas station pahangin; not much of a problem given my tyre never got a flat that time so pressure in all tyres always remained consistent.

share ko lang experience ko kanina.

nagpa-carwash ako kaninang hapon, dumating ako dito sa bahay magdi-dilim na. nung pumasok ako sa garahe, biglang nabuhay yung headlight ng altis. umatras ulit ako. tapus pinasok ko ulit sa garahe, nabuhay ulit.

siguro napihit nung carwash boy yung switch para sa headlight.

accidentally, meron palang auto-switch on ang headlight ng altis. ngayon ko lang na-discover.hahaha

BTW, ang model ng altis ko ay 2010 1.6V pre-facelifted.

ang tanong ko lang po, ok lang ba na laging iwan sa auto ang headlights naten?

TIA.
