Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

Ouch! Ang mahal nga!! Is it ok po ba to use different brand? Hindi naman makaka affect sa performance? S&R yun po ba yung parang macro sir vinj? Thanks po sa responses. Im not that familiar kasi 1st car ko rin wala pa ko masyado experience.

Am one of those who shifted from Dunlop SP01s to Kumho Ecstas. Completely satisfied with the Ecstas. Only gripe probably is that makapal yung sidewall niya compared to other tires of the same size (205/55R16) but that's minor.

Super hindi worth it mag-SP01 pag replacement. Even the CASA suggests the cheaper Dunlop LM703 instead.

How many tyres are you getting? One piece only (for the spare)?

If you're going to use the tyre, better to always change by pairs (left and right front or left and right rear) at least. You can then put one of your used tyres as a spare. If all your road tyres are good and even, then just get the one piece new one for the spare.

Mahal no? Sayang you missed on the pads of cjv_justice... kahit pakabit mo lang sa gas station or sa suking mekaniko mo.

Bili ka na ng new Corolla come December/January. :D

ang mahal talga ng new pads! hassle talga...that's what you get from not finding time to do it... on the tires, the potenza RE02 adrenalins are just 5,200/tire for the size of the V model wheels... but im still contemplating on what to buy... haha kaya pa siguro ng 500KMs ang tires.....

Stop contemplating. Go for the Toyo DRBs na... higher thread wear rating versus the RE002s.



These were the DRBs from the Vios after 45-50K kms.

Thanks sir vinj! I made up my mind for this toyo drb. Will get one soon as my spare! any recommended shops to purchase this tire?

[jut703]

Parang okay nga yung Potenza RE002 but it has a much lower treadwear rating than other tires near its price range. I wonder how much better the grip is though, since it seems to be leaning heavily towards the performance market than the regular car owner.

As much as I value performance, I wouldn't want my tires to wear out in half the time that other tires would.

Nope... not really.

Nope... not really.

Thanks for the reply sir vinj. How to determine if needed na i-paundercoat and how to check kung na apply maayus yun undercoat?

usually you'll see the OEM undercoating already (similar color to the car). Best to do it also during the hot season IMO.

Hi Guys,

40,000 kms service maintenance: May idea kayo kung magkano ang estimate at kung anong mga parts ang papalitan? Nag-resign na kasi si SA at wala matanungan.

Iniisip ko sa labas nalang magpa-service kung marami ang replacement. Please advise.

Cheers!

Usual parts to be changed:
- change oil/oil filter
- chance gear oil/ATF
- spark plugs (if youre not using iridiums)
- change air filter
- check cabin filter
- not sure about the fuel filter but you can check on the manual.
- clean brakes
- check/retorque suspension

Cost? I'd estimate 6-8K. Cheaper if you buy your parts from your suking Toyota store and have a independent shop do it.

Just checking the air filter of the A/C (behind the glove box); replace if necessary. Brake pad replacements are done when they're worn out but your brakes should be cleaned at that stop.

Im due for 20K service also but i'm deciding between going out of the dealer already or doing one last service stop at the dealer. Definitely at the 25K mark, i'll go back to 3rd party shops already.

Thanks bro. Is this in specific with 40,000 kms? Or just in general? Anyway, yup, thanks for the list! Also, do you have a checklist for all PMS (i.e. per 5000 kms service)? I'd really appreciate it so I can just have the car serviced outside casa. Thanks again.

Bro, sa Toyota Pasig naman ako. hehe 4 years ko rin siya SA. Gulat ako kahapon nung tumawag ako, resigned na pala hehe.

^Ano pangalan? We have a suking SA at Toyota Pasig also. They're also the only dealer so far that allows me to bring my own motor oil. I'm not all satisfied with their service though. Ilang beses na they keep telling us to change parts that are still good (imagine recommending i change my 15,000kms old brake pads).

Re. specific works being done at a certain mileage interval (Every 5K, 10K, 20K, 40K), you can find it on the owner's manual.. Usual heavy service stops are the 20K and 40K.

Si Jason yung SA ko. Okay naman ako sa Toyota Pasig kasi malaki parking space nila at madali puntahan for me. But of course, just like you, same typical casa experiences for me ("normal lang yan", "palitin na to", etc..) =))

Okay, I haven't checked the manual for that. Will do it later. Thanks!
