December 15th, 2005 02:36 PM #3011those measurements are literally bumper to bumper. Considering that the sportivo has extra body claddings, this is included in the measurement as well, so doesn't really reflect with the room cabin measurements. Instead of comparing to the sportivo, compare it with the XT model, which is the same as sportivo but without the cladding. Thus:
Length:
crosswind 4435mm
innova 4555mm
width
crosswind 1680mm
innova 1770mm
height
crosswind 1680mm
innova 1755mm
wheelbase
crosswind 2680mm
innova 2750mm
and all of a sudden, the above figures changes everything on which unit is bigger.

The 18k was given by the Casa not Ayala Aon. Go directly to Ayala Aon and have them quote you then go to Mapfre an insurance company and show them Ayala AONs quotation. All this can be done through phone calls Im sure they will give you a lower price. But I will hand out the policy as soon as I have scanned them.

Hi,
A wider body doesnt mean larger interior space. I have a Nissan Patrol Safari which is a big vehicle but my Xtrail and Innova boast larger interior space
Hope this helps

Just browse the internet, & find this thread, anyway got my innova E last April at TMI makati, its ODO is 10k already and never had such problem even at long drives (normally bring my car going to Bicol -480 kms- an 8 to 9 hrs. ride from Makati with 1 stopover & Claveria Cagayan Valley -613 kms - a very long journey at 12 to 14 hrs. with 3 stopover. My highway consumption is in between 12 to 14 km/liters.) i normally bring my car at TMI makati for engine wash since i dont want other carwash vendor to wash it over (they might splash parts that are not intended to be soaked in water). the d-4d woes might be in one production batch or so but may not be in totality of its production. got a friend from TMP plant and according to him the ordering of parts from their vendors are also by batch so they are also looking into this situation. BTW, i just use regular 15W-40 grade engine oil from toyota ever since, and i use shell diesel lang.

Toyota Urges Lighter Oils for Asia
By Tim Sullivan
BANGKOK – Eking out fuel savings wherever it can, Toyota Motor Corp. is urging customers throughout Asia to use engine oils no heavier than 10W-30, an official with the company said during a base oil conference here last month.
The pitch drew skepticism from some lubricant industry observers, who speculated that drivers in some countries will be reluctant to stop using high-viscosity oils.
In a Sept. 15 presentation to F&L Asia’s Asia-Pacific Base Oil Conference, Toyota’s Fumio Ueda said that one of the biggest priorities for the auto industry is to develop environmentally sustainable vehicles – cars, trucks and motorcycles that use less fuel and generate less pollution. A senior staff engineer with Toyota’s Fuel and Lubricant Department, Ueda cited some of the fronts on which automakers are pursuing that goal: tapping alternative fuels, such as electricity or hydrogen; developing more efficient transmissions; and using lighter materials to reduce vehicle weight.
Lubricants are being asked to contribute to the cause, too, with automakers pushing engine oils that have lower viscosity, and therefore reduce friction in engines. Ueda, who is also chairman of the Engine Oil Subcommittee of the Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association, noted that Toyota has begun recommending 0W-20 oils in Japan. The company is taking a more modest step of prescribing 10W-30 oils in other parts of Asia, where 20W-40 and 20W-50 grades prevail.
“Low-viscosity lubricants are one of the key technologies to get good fuel economy,” Ueda said. “Toyota would like to introduce 0W-20 oils [throughout Asia]. As a first step, though, 10W-30 is acceptable for all sides – customers, oil producers, car manufacturers. I think we will go further once everyone recognizes that lower-viscosity oils are not a problem.”
Ueda cited estimates that Asia would reduce fuel consumption by 2 million kiloliters (520 million gallons) per year if all drivers made the switch.
Some who heard his presentation expressed doubt that Toyota’s wish will be fulfilled anytime soon, contending that large parts of the region remain wedded to heavier oils.
“In Indonesia, motorists use mostly 20W-50 oils,” said Andria Nusa, lubricant product development manager for PT Pertamina, Indonesia’s national oil company. “Only a few use 10W-40, and it is still difficult to find 10W-30.
“It is not easy for the motorist to change to a lighter oil if there is no recommendation from the manufacturer and service stations,” he continued, adding that most of these still recommend 20W-50. “In their opinions, lighter oils will be noisier and cause hotter temperatures and higher oil consumption.”
Ueda said Toyota is encouraging the switch to lighter oils by recommending them in owner manuals and in bulletins to service stations. Some conference attendees said it will take a bigger effort to bring about much change.
“I agree that it makes sense, especially in light of what’s happened with fuel prices,” said Harland Bulow, lead consultant for base oils with Tri-Zen International, a consulting firm based in Singapore. “But you have to overcome two factors: price, since the lighter-grade oils tend to cost less; and the simple fact that people are used to using heavier oils.
“You’re not going to overcome those obstacles without a pretty aggressive education campaign,” he told Lube Report. “To me, the best place to do that is in the schools, so you can reach young drivers.”
