Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[vinj]

Sa mga nagtetext hindi pwede ang BT223 sa 10th generation altis.

Element type oil filter na like this



Jason N (HondaFDs) - Philippines

AFAIK, the 2008 to 2010/11 Gen 10 with the ZZ engine still can use the BT223. It's the 2011 to 2014 gen 10.5 with the ZR engine that uses a oil filter element.

Tama yung 10.5 generation altis element type oil filter.

Ito na yung thread for both?

Any ideas on how much is a factory installed gps would cost? What variant of the altis should i get if i want a factory installed gps?

Hey guys, what brand of replacement brake pads do you use? OEM is good, but too pricey. Any recommendations?

Bendix usually but im not happy with the Bendix CT on our Gen 9.5. Malayo Ang kagat sa OEM and Bendix Metal Kings. Try checking Akebono if they have for the Gen 10.

Thanks vinj! I also don't trust bendix CT cause it's squeaking badly on my other car. Where can I find Akebono? QC area.

Sirs, i'm on my 10k pms in my 10.5 gen. Ano usually ginagawa pag 10k? Plano ko ng ipagawa na lang sa labas. Do you think its worth na mavoid ang warranty just to avoid the expensive cost sa casa. Any issues to worry about? Thanks

^ change oil, and a few underchassis checks w cleaning of brakes. Stick to the CASA first for a few more service stops. Di naman kamahalan as long as you stick with regular oil and do away with additives, etc.

mga boss. talaga bang oil filter element lng ang papalitan pag changeoil sa 10.5 gen altis? wala ba taung pwdeng gamitin na readily available filter (with cannister)? kung meron, anong part number kaya ang pwdeng gamitin sa brands like bosch, etc.

thanks!

i think my age is showing..
but as far as i know, in all my previous cars, the oil filters are single-use-throw-away thingees..
but the air filter, i have that air-cleaned until it can't be, anymore..

At this point wala talaga. I ordered my Baldwin oil element from abroad before. Part number is P7454.

When the change oil is done, also inspect the head of the element canister. The other week I had my first non-CASA change oil at 35,000kms and the mechanic and I saw that the canister already had a chipped tooth at where you bolt on the wrench head.

Thanks for your replies, dr. d and vinj. Mukang bibili na lng ako sa casa ng filter element. Nga pala, FYI sa mga nagpapaservice sa toyota pasig, hindi na sila pumapayag magdala ng sariling oil.

What's done during the 35k PMS? My car is out of warranty already and casa quoted me P6.5k for the PMS! My Mom is complaining already I don't know why it keeps on getting expensive when I don't see them changing anything in the PMS except for the oil filter and spark plugs

Where is it good to have my PMS (non-casa) in the Makati area kaya? Will I save a lot if I just buy the parts (oil, filter and spark plugs) at the casa and have it done somewhere else?

Any gas station like Petron, shell & caltex will be ok. Mahigit kalahati yun matitipid mo pag sa labas mo pa change oil.

What makes casa pms more expensive ba? So okay lang if I just buy the parts sa casa?

What do I need to buy for 35k PMS?

some owners' manuals have a table indicating the activities performed in celebrating the 35Kth kilomersary..
some casas have such chart on the wall of their customers' lounges..

what makes casa pms so expensive? they have very high overhead expenses.. gas stations have comparably very low overhead expenses.. but you already know this..

i celebrated my car's out-of-warrantiness by having its oil changed in the friendly neighborhood gas station..may promo sila.. 1400 kesos, hecho derecho.. and everything finished in 30 minutes!
sigurado pa akong hindi hinablot ang air filter ng makina o aircon, at hindi tinanggal ang engine thermostat.. at hindi pinalitan ang timing belt ng peke.. at hindi kinuha ang spare tire.. at hindi kinuha ang screwdriver sa tool pouch.. at hindi binasag ang driver's height adjuster knob.. at...etc..
sometimes, i wonder why i patronize the casa's pms at all...

My owner's manual does not have it so I don't know what to instruct the non-casa place for PMS? I trust Toyota Pasig naman. I normally leave my car there for days at a time. Even the money I leave in the cabin hindi nababawasan. It's just that I find 6.5k for PMS too much. Pamahal ng pamahal

I checked my 30k PMS receipt and it cost me almost P8k pala! Can I remove the engine flush and fuel treatment na? If I buy just the oil (2.5k) Spark Plug (400) and oil filter (315), I will spend 3.2k lang on parts and probably 4k including non casa labor?

Do I really need the engine flush and fuel system? Can I ask casa not to include that na lang? And just the 4 selected below?



BTW, Are the Toyota Oil, Spark Plugs and Oil filter cheaper if I buy it outside casa? If so, where?

so i guess that means, if i do not know what needs to be done, or do not have the time to them in, i am probably well off sticking to casa service.. and unfortunately, most car owners fall into this category. no offense to you guys. knowing cars is like going to church.. you actually pray, or you can go thru the motions..

cars are fun! just remember who's the boss.

i always decline the engine flush and fuel treatment.
you will save a lot if you buy your sparking plugs, oil and filters, outside. (is that real?! 4 plugs for 379... mebbe they meant to charge you with 379 x 4...)
why do you have two different entries in your wiper blade? and i use refill blades. 200/pair.
washer fluid? i use water! and contrary to what others may allege, i don't see the difference.
gas station labor is less than 1k.
at least, you didn't get charged 32 kesos for the basahans they allegedly use to clean the brake pads with.. (or did they bury it under miscellaneous?)
where to buy the consumables and replacements? i'm not very picky.. i just ask the gas station mechanic what they have on the shelf.

i could have had all these done off-casa, at less then 4K..

the difficulty with having pms outside the casa, is i have to itemize to the mechanic, exactly what it is i want him to do. with so many makes of cars the poor fellow has to service, i can not and do not expect him to know the nuances of each make..
and looking thru their inspection list, most of these we unconsciously do everyday.. or we ought to do regularly in the home garage.. i mean, looking for busted lights and stuff... you'd have to be severely spoiled if you don't do these things..

Glad I got your reply on time! I asked my service advisor to do away with the Engine Flush and Treatment and he agreed naman. At least I get to save P1k that way. Also, what is the gasket drain plug? Do you they really need to change that every single time? I don't remember buying that for my AE101 PMS.

The spark plug is really P379 for 4. The blades are refills, I don't know why it's not the same price. Maybe either left or right is more expensive? They gave me back the old rubber naman. Casa labor is P1332.80. For that 30k PMS, it cost me P7792.80 I really hope my 35k PMS will stay within their estimate of P6.5k

For my 40k PMS, I'll have it done outside the casa na lang.

I hope I can get inputs on where I can buy Toyota oil, spark plugs, oil filter and air filter at a good price
