Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[rundinova]

Good day po sa lahat ng Innova fanatics!

Bago lang po dito and salamat sa Diyos nakuha na namin ang dream car namin na Innova G MT sa Pasong Tamo last July 22 and kaagad nag biyahe pauwi sa Ilocos and ang sarap talaga i drive ng bago. May napansin lang ako mga sir (fan of *mile2) na mahirap ba talaga i pasok sa gear nya ang bagong innova lalo na sa reverse? para pong sumasayad at pwede po ba pa adjust ang clutch nya kasi masyadong mataas as in namatayan po sa makati sa gitna ng trapik..

gusto ko pong maki join sa club kaso masyadong malayo lugar namin may paraan po ba? maraming maraming salamat mga sir's at hintayin ko informative advice nyo sir.....

Puede mo ipa-adjust sa next PMS (1K Kms.) mo, fluid clutch ang Innova M/T may adjuster yan sa may transmission fork.

Watch out for any rattling, misalignment's, leaks or any defects and tell it to your Service Advisor and Sales Representative...do it every PMS schedules so that you will maintain your car good condition and likewise you maintain solid relationship with your dealer.

Congrats and safe driving.

nagcompute din pala si innoBOB. ehehe. sa kin kasi kaya gas kinuha ko kasi compute ko is exactly 2 yrs lang ang balik ng 50k difference sa dalas ng paggamit namin ng wife ko at sa layo ng office namin sa bahay (Valenzuela-Makati).

besides, waiting daw ang diesel ng J hanggang august kasi pinakyaw daw ng PNP yun mga D4D J variant. totoo kaya yun?

kaya nagdecide kami na gas na lang ang bilhin.



ano kayang upgrade ang mangyayari? meron po ba may info abt this?

===

after my first refill pagtapos ko makuha sa innova ko, ang FC ko was 5.89 km/L. gaganda pa po kaya to sa pagtagal? parang nalula ako bigla sa lakas nya kumain ng gas e. ehehe. ano po ba mga helpful tips na alam nyo para gumanda ang FC?

kung nagpalit ba sa 18" tires, gaano ka-significant kaya ang diperensya sa FC pag nagkataon?

if you'll use the car everyday, go for the diesel

if you'll use it maybe just 3-4 days a week, go with the gas

pero glad to hear you went with the gas bro!

hehe

Big thanks for the reply sir!!

So far wala pa naman sir napapansin na noise except sa sobrang rpm pag nag start/change gear kasi medyo naninibago. sir regarding sa break in period nya ano po ba ang mga dapat i observe for the first 1000k nya to obtain the engines optimum performance in the future..and what do you recommend as best gas for my innova??

thanks again...

[innoBOB[09JmtG]]

unleaded will do bro

[timo07]

If I remember correctly the wall to wall floor matting was 5.5K, not sure though. The material is like 3M nomad dirt trapping coiled mat.

When I went there they were making another set and I was told it was an order.



OO nga, binati ko pa nga at sabi ko uy naka 17" ka! pero sabi niya 18" yan.

Ang sabi niya sa akin ibebenta daw niya ay yung Innova alloy mags with tires at Innova steel mags with tires...mukhang pinakyaw na niya, from original steel eh nagpalit siya ng original alloy mags tapos nag 18". Kaya sabi ko sa kanya maraming naghahanap ng original Innova mags, kahit noong last EB may naghahanap nga ng mags.

Thanks Mile2.

good day! to all innova owners newbie here! just want to share some tips on our innovas base on the car manual, nakasulat dun we can only use unleaded for vvti engines beacause if we use other gasoline types like blaze or premium it may damage the catalytic converter can anyone share their comments about this? and another thing i have a friend who uses blaze on his innova j manual his rpm only needs 1500 to shift gears but for me i use unleaded 2000 rpm is needed before i can shift gears,question lang which type of gasoline would stretch my budget more,definitely better mileage ang premium base on this but mas mahal can u help me choose san ako mas makatipid? ty mga bro

All gasoline sold in the Philippines are unleaded for over ten years already.

Premium fuel usually give better engine response because of the higher octane rating than the regular unleaded. But it is also consumed quickly. Some people say its because it evaporates faster. In the end, you need to weight what is important to you. Economy at the expense of performance? Go for unleaded. Performance at the expense of economy? Premium fuel.

You also try 95 RON fuels (ie. Petron XCS). It is in bet. the 97 RON (Velocity, Blaze, etc...) and the E10 blended 93 RON unleaded fuel.

Either use Xtra Unleaded or XCS. Blaze is really unnecessary with your drive route condition. Take note, the Xtra Unleaded has 10% ethanol blended so it is consumed at a faster rate also.

bro, for gasoline type like unleaded, premium, and blaze these types of gasolines have their own octane no, the higher octane no. the better combustion for your engine. but it will eat-up your budget if you go for a higher octane.
With regards to catalytic converter, nowadays our cars are designed now for fuels we used so nothing to bother. and last about your friend innova j w/c only revs * 1500rpm maybe he uses synthetic oil, or he uses higher octane gasoline or maybe the engine already got break-in. hopes this help. cheers!

sir, it depends pa rin on how we drive. for sure if you stock on a traffic medyo malakas sa gaso yun, try a low rev when driving kaso baka mabagalan ka nga lang but it's relaxing if you're not in hurry. cheers!

Use 5w-30 Royal Purple oil Shell V-power. tough mas mahal ang V-power ng almost 8php than unleaded na regular.

[vosch]

your right mga sirs, kala ko kasi pag unleaded gamit ko mas mahina magsunug your right may 10 percent ethanol sya so ganun din mabilis din masunug ang fuel sa traffic, another question mga sirs ok lang ba magpapalit palit ako ng fuel?kasi simula ng naglagay ako ng gas i used unleaded na i want to try xcs naman or vortex gold ok lang ba na magpalit ng ibang fuel rating every fill up ko ty in advance mga sirs!

First, being a newbie to the board I wanted to thank you all, as the information in these posts helped us decide to order a new Metallic Silver Innova G DSL. (we r excited to pick it up in 2 weeks!)

We really wanted leather, but hated the 2nd row captain seats in the V. Has anyone purchased the "German quality Leather" seat covers offered by the dealers? Any reviews on these? We've seen the great stuff listed in Banawe but we're not in Luzon (Cebu).

Looking forward to being a part of the "Innova family"

I've also read that ethanol blends burn faster, so I avoid them. (though I'm happy to not worry about that with our new DSL)

From reliable sources I've heard that as long as you stick to the same octane levels you will be ok. If you put blaze in for a while your engine will get used to that and may ping when you switch back to reg unlead. So in my view the little extra performance is not worth it, I'd stick with the reg octane unlead. It reminds me of why our child gets local chocolate, because he'll never know the difference until he gets the foreign stuff, then he will not want to go back!

After clearer thinking and reading about the "D4D horror stories" ,
we decided to change our order to the vvt-i. I'll sleep better tonight.
