Dont believe those lifetime oils. Better to just replace every 40,000kms at the least.

On brake pads, OEM Toyota will cost around 3K, Bendix CTs around 900+. If you can afford the Toyotas, go for them.

Our old 98 model manual sentra still has the original trans.oil in it up to present. Haven't changed it yet coz when we have it checked twice a year the mechanic always says it's still good and clean.[emoji4]

Never had any problems.

sakin din sir same tayo may dribbling sound, taga pateros ako pinaayos ko pa sa jp wheels center sa pnaque dahil nabasa ko wala negative reviews. una akala ko bushing lang estimate mga 1k at yari naging 15k.. pinapalitan ko shock absorber, replacement na shock mount and stabilizer link (sure daw sila 100%) at break pads front at camber alignment.. nawala sandali twice ko lang ginamit bumalik

balak ko dalhin sa servitek (update ko).. pero pag rack and pinion problem di ko na papalitan kasi may nabasa ako di naman daw dangerous yun tiisin ko na lang annoying sound

Hi, I had the same issue so I had my car weighed (2008 1.6G MT) and voila, it only weighs 1,200 KG which is LIGHT. So I had my car registration changed from Medium to Light. You guys should do the same.

Thanks, Kimbon. I went there earlier to have my Altis checked. Service is indeed very good.

We have our cars repaired there too. They charge higher than your tabi-tabi talyer but less than your CASA, for service that i find better than the CASA. They also allow you to bring in your own parts.
