Toyota Corolla 11th Generation Altis [Merged Threads]

[jut703]

grabe 200 tinira mo na pala. pag iisipan ko cgro ito ng malalim, hehe, saang location po ba ito sir? cgrado kailangan talaga ng mabahang wide road nito.

Yep. Empty stretch of SCTEX, no other cars on the road.

tanung ko lang sir, kung infinite number of gear ratios tau, saan na natin ipapasok ang 7 speed na CVT? sa manual mode lang po ba ito magagamit?

Yes, the 7 "gears" are only for manual mode. In D, it plays around with more ratios to maximize the powerband.

Wait.. you're willing to sacrifice warranty in exchange for mods budget? You may want to consider long term possible expenses first.

Yes you may claim that tok sound under warranty. Matagal nang issue yang tok sound na yan dunno kung may naging successful fix na ba sila about it.

Medyo willing ako kasi bihira lang naman byahe ko so siguro di ako magkakaproblem sa engine and kaya ko naisip yun kasi matibay naman ito kaya toyota pinili ko . Ayy ok ganun ba so engine warranty lang naman mawawala not naman sa loob. Ang gusto ko kasi sundin every month term kasi bihira lang naman byahe if i follow casa 3 months lugi talaga ako. Ang afford ko lang kasi na oil kasi is yung regular oil. Takot kasi ako sa oil sludge kung gagawin ko naman ever 6 months with regular oil.

Toyota follows per km sa odo not the every 3 months. They're not that strict unlike Honda. Ask your service adviser para sure bro.

You are willing to save for mods but not for casa maintenance?

Why aren't your parents paying for the maintenance? I assume that they bought you the car and are aware of the cost of owning one. Kaya nga MOST people buy brand new e for the warranty and you are willing to forego this.

If you only run 5k per year. 15k pa lang out of warranty ka na (year 3)

Ay mam 10k kms po pala or 1 year sorry typo po. Gusto ko kasi maging independent man lang sa maintainance nung car. Meron kasi ako free supply ng fully synthetic oil, kaya kung dadalhin ko din naman sa casa yung sarili kong oil void lang din naman warranty ko, so useless din at mahal pa babayaran ko sa casa. Ok sana if casa will allow me to bring my own oil and then warranty will be kept. Ang afford ko lang din oil sa casa is yung regular oil kaso kung every 3 months ako papa change oil lugi din ako. Ang takot ko lang naman yung oil sludge kaya magpapalit ako by month sana and not by kms. kung regular oil gamit ko every 3 months interval daw nun, if fully synthetic naman 6 months gagawin kong interval. Kaya hindi ko alam kung sa suking shell station ako papachange oil.

Ayy ganun ba? Kasi regular oil lang papalagay ko if ever mag stick ako sa casa and baka magka oil sludge if every year ako magpachange oil mas mapapamahal ako nun pero will talk to my SA about it. Thanks sir

Was surprised with my FC today. I travelled back from Mariveles, Bataan to Manila, and the MID showed 12.9 km/L. However, when I filled up, the actual FC was 14.81 km/L. With the same route and driving style, I only get 12-14 km/L with the Vios 1.3.

good job! very nice fuel consumption, got also 12 km/l when i went to bulacan from muntinlupa balikan. kasama na yung crawling sa edsa from magallanes to balintawak. nagulat ako nag stay lang cia sa 10km/l sa edsa, ginamit ko lang yung smooth driving at seldom hard braking.

ano po ba yung mga usual na technique nio sir para makatipid merun po ba or natural lang?

[jut703]

Naturally, malakas ako sa gas magdrive kasi mainitin ulo ko. But I make an active effort to do the ff:

- Stay patient and calm. Getting your mindset right is more important than any technique.

- Accelerate only as much as you need to. Keep your pedal input as light as possible, especially if you've reached your desired speed. I've found that pedal input is more important than the gear that you're in.

- Pick the right gear. Most people know that high rpms are wasteful if you don't need the power, but too low of an rpm will also make the engine struggle and consume more gas as you have to increase pedal input to maintain your speed. With a CVT, the car's smart enough to pick the right rpm for you, all you have to do is control your pedal input.

- Plan ahead. If you're approaching a stoplight, coast as early as you can as opposed to continuing to step on the gas then wasting all that energy by braking again as you arrive at the stop light. When driving on a highway, if you know you're approaching the car in front of you, then coast so you keep a safe driving distance, as opposed to having to brake. Actually, braking is very wasteful so try to brake as little as possible (without compromising safety of course).

When I'm driving calmly, I usually shift at around 1800-2000 rpm. When I'm in a hurry or in a bad mood, I shift close to redline and this really consumes a lot of gas.

ibang klase ka talaga sir super expert ka na, salamat sa mga priceless tips na ito, kaya naman pala mataas ang km/l mo, yung patience and calmness, merun ako nyan, take note ko yung iba brod, para maganda din ang results ko.

That mid is from the vios. Lol

Did you reset the MID after the oil change? Its calculations are probably based on the break in period.

I reset my MID every fill-up, so that I can directly compare its accuracy compared to the FT method.

My last fillups:

1. MID 12.5 km/L, actual 12.0 km/L
2. MID 8.8 km/L, actual 8.47 km/L
3. MID 12.5 km/L, actual 12.91 km/L

It's mostly accurate +/- a few tenths, except for the most recent fillup where it was 2 km/L off.

Dont worry too much about toyota engine. Its one of the most reliable ones. As long as you change oil every 5k. Ask your service adviser if pwede every 4mo(if 5k hadnt been reached) with the conventional oil.

Hello tsikoteers, here's my 3ZZ-FE engine from my 9th gen Altis with 58,000km on the clock. Oil and filter change done at home every 5,000km with Toyota Fully Synthetic oil. No engine flush whatsoever, just drain and refill. Mostly metro manila traffic. Valve cover was removed to replace the old and hardened valve cover rubber gasket. Spark plugs are replaced every 10,000km. Air filter is cleaned with compressed air everytime I change oil and replaced at 30,000km. She's now at 86,000km and still purring like a kitten. Just sharing. Salamat.

Nothing beats the MID readout of my edsa crawl. Okay its not a corolla but its a 1.5 liter engine paired to a cvt. Edsa traffic suxxors big time.

is this the new CRZ? 3.5 km/l? friday ka ata sir nag edsa at sahod pa? hehe

That's a Jazz. Normally it'll do 8-9 km/L in heavy traffic, but some rush hours are heavier than others, especially after a bit of rain.

kabisabo nio na sir, dashboard pa lang. uu iba iba din ang rush hour sa edsa, mas malupit talaga pag maulan.

[StockEngine]

Somewhat wasteful. Unless the sparkplugs and fully synthetic oils are free.

Fully synthetic can last longer than 5k. Change your interval to 7500km.

Sparkplugs can be inspected. Throwing away a good set is rather like throwing money away.

Hope you changed your tranny oil.

[gma11]

Yes I do change my ATF as recommended in the manual and brake fluid as well.
