Shell Unleaded

Which station? Parang ang mura ng unleaded. You're from makati diba?

When my car was new, top speed kagad. Nothing bad ever happened to it. No need to baby the car.

And 800 km over 3 weeks isn't laspag. I just travelled 1,100 km over the weekend.

wow its like you traveled from manila to isabela 3X. i understand you're planning to buy a sedan soon. why not consider a SUV instead. don't you feel get tired driving sedan from mla to province back & forth.

If it's just NLEX/SCTEX driving, a sedan isn't any less comfy than an SUV. Although over the weekend, I went to Bicol and the road was awful. Back then, I didn't notice how bad the road was because I had a pickup.

Good thing I don't drive to Bicol all that much anymore, maybe once or twice a year nalang. If I had to go more frequently I'd look for a truck or truck-based SUV instead.

I'm using 15w40 mineral on my 2NZ and it stabilizes at around 20 secs.

Sir JohnM, timed mine last night, took me 2 and a half minutes to stabilize. But that was after work, parked for about 10hrs or so.

just timed my friends corolla...took 3 minutes to stabilize to 1000rpm. even then the temp gauge didnt even went quarter way up.

Tagal! Stabilize as in below 1k rpm? Try blipping the gas to see if it cancels the startup procedure. Kahit naman whole weekend di gamit ang oto never sya ganyan katagal bumaba.

BTW I don't have an Altis. I'm just basing my observation on the cars I've actually driven frequently.

Sa mga casa meron, same sa vios. 850 ang isa kaya wag mo na ipasok sa insurance kung turn signal lamp lang ang problema

yun din ang naisip ko. masmahal pa pinasok ko pa sa insurance. alam ko pareho din ito in 2012-2013 camry. thanks for the response

warmup process takes minutes. you simply cannot raise 3-8liters of oil at 25c(resting temperature) to 100c(212f) in 20 seconds.

No question about that but I'm still wondering why it takes too long. I don't feel comfortable shifting into gear when the revs are high mainly because I cringe at the shift shock and imagine the clutches burning off a few layers every morning.

One of the main reasons of the high cold start rpms is to heat the cat converter and minimize emissions. Once the cat reaches operating temperature the rpms should go down regardless of oil temp.

I start driving as soon as the revs go below 1k rpm but at that point my blue idiot light is still on. On the Mirage it takes more than a few minutes of sedate driving before the light disappears. The Vios and the 3 take about a minute.

so asan mo nakuha yan 20seconds?

All three cars' rpms drop below 1k rpm within 20 secs. I never mentioned oil temps. You might have misunderstood me.
