Hi All,

Anyone here who does their own engine washing? What precautions need to be taken? I have my own pressure washer but afraid to use it for engine cleaning as I might damage sensitive component. I never had a chance to observe how they do it sa casa.

I do but I never use pressure washer, only mild sprinkle of water from garden hose on per portion basis (this will avoid over watering) . Wet some portion and then follow up with soapy rug (diluted dishwashing soap) and then rinse, then proceed again to other portion. Been doing this for about 3 years now, and does this once every month. Then start the engine for a while to whisk off water from moving parts, turn off engine and dry off excess water.

Just cover the alternator with plastic, all electrical sockets are water tight/proof anyway.

Sa casa nakita ko ang ginagawa nila eh tire black using paint brush lang. Mukha lang makintab pero hindi malinis.

Hayy... ang haba ng ginawa kong response, hindi naman nagpost ng maaayos. Anyway, thanks Mile2. Itry ko ginagawa mo kapag hindi na naguulan.

Another question for you: Do you allow casa to use engine flush when you're having your oil change? Marami kasing nagsasabi sa akin before na hindi iyon maganda para sa engine pero I just allowed Toyota to use this on my 1K, 5K and 10K PMS. I'm thinking na huwag na ako magpagamit noon on my next PMS at 15K km.

Question lang po sa mga naka G and V variant, Saan po naka lagay yung antenna ng radio sa innova nyo? J po kasi sakin, yung antenna ko sumabit sa puno nabali. Napansin ko lang walang visible antenna yung mga G and V variant, baka pwede ko installan ng same antenna sa kanila. Thanks po

Right rear quarter window. The antenna itself is etched/printed/attached directly onto the glass.

RR27, pano mo nalaman na sira na yung shocks mo? may unusual na tunog ba?

>wala akong naramdaman na kakaiba' nalaman ko na lang nung nagpa-rotate ako ng tire' sabi sa akin nung service advisor ko na papalitan na daw yung shock kase pumutok na nga daw' pero nung napalitan na shock ko pag nag kurbada ako' di na siya malikot' yun lang na-observe ko....'

Never pa ako nagpa-engine flush, lahat drain lang and then change oil.

guys accurate ba yung meter sa car na km/l? standard sya sa Innova G e..thanks..

[Mile2]

guys accurate ba yung meter sa car na km/l? standard sya sa Innova G e..thanks..

For me it is accurate, actually it was measured as "average" so you have to reset it to zero every now and then, if you do not reset it to zero it means you are taking average reading since the last reset to zero.

Before I was computing manually against the MID reading and find it accurate. But now I quit computing since I know how much liters of fuel I always consume on my daily same route.

Bro, yung sa akin kasi nakikita ko pag naghuhugas ako ng ilalim, pag pag tinubigan mo di siya nababasa dahil oily. Pag dumaan ka naman sa humps at medyo mabilis mararamdaman mo na parang mabigat/mabilis ang bagsak.

thanks Mile2! Visual inspection pla kelangan.

[maski]

by the way, ano ok na mineral oil para sa innova(1K PMS)? I'm thinking of 10-40 pero san kaya mura bumili? Sabi ksi ng SA ko pwede daw ako na lng bumili. Mga ilanng liters kaya kelangan ko bilhin, ksi yung nakikita ko sa ACE hardware puro lng 4 liters. thanks!

Anyone here tried the Honda mineral oil 10w-30? Mura sa Honda dealers less than 800/gallon?

Mga sir gudpm po, tanong ko lang kung may nakaencounter na sa inyo ng tunog na nagkikiskisang bakal parang turnilyo na d gaano kalakas pero nakakairita pagtagal. Para siyang mahinang tunog ng ring ng lumang telepono. Sa bandang dashboard siya naririnig and lumalabas siya pagmedyo rough yung road pero pag sa aspalto wala naman. Dinala ko na sa Toyota Shaw ang sabi hindi daw sa dahboard kundi sa labas daw yung tunog at hindi naman delikado. Any inputs mga Sir? Sabi sa akin ng service advisor ko obserbahan kung lalakas pa, magagastusan lang daw ako pagpinatgnan ko pa. Ang car ko po pala ay Innova G. Salamat po...

Indeed. It's hard to fault the Innova as a serviceable family car.

Starter, do you have a stepboard? Parang ganyan yung na-experience ko a few months back nung galing kaming tagaytay. Pag-check ko sa bahay, maluwag na ang mga turnilyo at yung iba nalaglag na.
