I wanted to try but the SA in Toyota Commonwealth told me to just have it done outside since it's much cheaper. Katapat lang ng Toyota Commonwealth ang Yokohama, sabi doon ko nalang daw dalhin, pareho lang daw un.

*UUE213: I'd choose option A.

Hi, just had my 40k PMS done outside. My driver is the one who brought it to the Bosch Service center near us.
The problem when i test drove the Commuter kanina.
I find it hard to shift gears. At ang tigas ng clutch. There's a squeaking sound everytime i step on the clutch. Although audible yon kapag naka off ang engine, so di naman maingay yung squeal talaga.
Nung chineck ko receipt 4 litres ng Caltex Thuban SAE90 ang ginamit sa pag change ng transmission fluid.
I checked the manual it says na 75w90 ang required. Ayun ba ang cause ng hard shifting of gears? Kasi pag naka warm up na engine. Medyo smooth na. And also, di kaya overfilled? Manual says 2.6L lang kelangan.

Most likely. With our Toyotas, i observed that the best oil for the transmission was the OEM oil. I could feel the difference when i tried another oil on my Altis before; shifted back to Toyota oil and it was good.

Tama ba sir na 2.6L lang tranny oil? 4L kasi ginamit daw eh. Manual says 2.6L lang.

bro, medyo imposibleng mag overfill. kasi mahihirapang ikabit ng mekaniko yung fill plug. depende na lang kung tinanggal nila transmission at tinagilid para mapuno ng 4L.

experience ko sa Bosch service center, naka balde yung gear oil, possible na sobra yung estimate ng mekaniko habang nag lalagay siya from dispenser, or 1 gal yung binili ng driver mo bro at nakalimutang kunin yung sobra.

regarding thuban sae90, ganun talaga siya, magiging smooth lang kapag nasa operating temp na. Maganda Mobil 75W-90, kaso bihira na yung GL-4, karamihan GL-5 na at hindi pwede sa MT (pang rear diff lang)

Naka balde daw bro. Pero bubuksan yung bote na tig 1L. Isasaksak yung parang tubo dun. Pero baka nga gnun sa Thuban na oil. Dinrain daw maigi sbe ng driver ko.

to allay my fears and suspicious, i'd have it checked at another shop.

Have not tried on ours but I would believe better shocks will help as it had done in our other cars before. If it's like a boat, hindi kaya sira na shocks?

We've used Old Man Emu, Bilsteins and Iron Man. Old Man Emu was one of the good ones in terms of ride comfort.

Not much can be done to the stock suspension. What tyre pressure are you running too? We usually put 33psi (cold) in the rear of our Grandia GL. Looks like a shock upgrade would be your best bet

Hi sirs.
Have also the same problem on my GL, very bumpy ride even with full passengers. Change my shock absorbers (dobinsons) already but not much improvement.
