Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

If you don't have any problems, you can bring it to the dealer when you reach 1000km ODO reading for its first PMS. Oil change and inspection lang naman yon.

Thank you timo07, so far wala naman problema, so ill just wait for my 1000 PMS,

Thanks timo!

my car is 2009 model A/T VVTi E Variant. How about the handling parang magaan yung steering wheel pag over 120 Km/hr. have you experience it.

Hello asteu53, I travel weekly using NLEX from Manila to Pulilan and vise versa since Nov /09. I enjoyed travelling alone at top speed of 180kmh and had not encountered any problem . Kaya pa actually kaya lang masyado ng malakas sa gas.

i called speedy fix late last year. sabi sa akin nung kausap ko, hindi daw kasama sa promo ang innova kasi iba daw filter natin. so per quart x 6 plus filter plus labor charge. and to change the spark plugs, they are charging a whooping 200 pesos per plug. kinda expensive compared to casa.

Additional cost on filter is just a minor change. For spark plugs, DIY lang ako dahil madali lang naman magpalit ng spark plugs. Medyo mahirap lang tanggalin at magbalik ng last spark plug dahil medyo gipit, solution is to buy a spark plug wrench na may hinge na puedeng ipasok at ilabas at a certain angle. Got my spark plug wrench sa True Value, meron din sa ACE.

Naka 180kmh ka rin pala, actually tama ka kaya pa isagad pero safety muna tayo siyempre

Since 205's lang ang lapad ng stock Yokohama A300 medyo di siya talaga stable at cruising speed, for better handling at cruising speed it would be better to upgrade the tires to 215-235's width.

Hi Mile2,

Ang sinabi kasi sa akin ng babae, items will be charged individually. hindi daw pasok sa promo. if i remember it correctly, 700+ sinisingil niya for oil filter. baka you can post naman how much nagastos mo. :D

for spark plug naman, madali nga lang. kaso ang prob, kailangan pa ng torque wrentch diba? kasi yung gap nung spark plug. para hindi too tight, and hindi din maluwag.

GLD, Mile2 thanks for the response. iba lang talaga ang handling ng car eh. I feel safe pag car ang gamit ko kasi.

GLD, Mile2 thanks for the response. Nanibago lang ako sa handling ng innova. I agree with your recommendation Mile2 for safety driving.

Last time mga 1.5 year ago yung straight change oil ko sa kanila and the promo applies. Lately, I just buy the oil in bulk like 11-12 liters for my whole year consumption (twice a year change oil), in which I just have my change oil service at Shell near my residence. I just buy VIC C-111 (Innova equivalent) oil filter at ACE and the Shell station near my place charge me P300 for labor. I also did my brake pads replacement at Shell and the labor charge is just P400.

Better buy their oil na lang and have the change oil service near your place.

Spark plug gap is not determined by how much torque you apply when installing the plugs on the socket. Though, it is a good idea to use the right torque to tighten the plug, you can actually do this by feel. There is a special tool for adjusting the gap but on new plugs, this is normally up to spec already and it is not affected by how much force you apply when tightening the plug to the engine socket.

talaga? pumapayag shell na gumamit kayo ng ibang oil? last time i asked sa shell ayaw nila gumamit ng ibang brand eh. ma-revoke daw franchise nila kung nahuli

pero sa ganung price, pwede naman sa talyer din eh :D

good day, guys

patulong lang please. hindi ko mahanap post na sinabi kung saan nagpagawa yung hindi pantay na innova. yung may tilt that favors one side. mas mataas right side kesa sa left/driver side.

was it toyota north balintawak or otis? what was the part that was replaced?

sagarin ko na, sa nag post ng sagot previously, sino po mekanikong gumawa or contact person. para sana wala na masyadong maraming tanong at alam na gagawin.

pasensya na po sa demanding na request.

maraming salamat!

[roberto_minosa]

Ah, nagpagawa na rin kami ng ganyan. Dun sa D4D namin. Sa Toyota San Fernando, Pampanga. Kaya dapat yan ng mga Toyota casa sa Metro Manila.

Sira dyan yung isang rubber spacer (paki correct kung mali) sa pagitan ng chassis at body.

[morlack]

Thanks Rain ha..

Ask lang ako kung my mura pa na synthetic oil and how much is it???
Parang over pricing kasi yung text ng Sa sa akin na 1000pesos per liter and synthetic oil...

If that the cost maybe i go for mineral oil na lang... I dont know the cost yet.. hehehe!!!! I just want to be sure na di ako lolokohin ng SA pag fist
1k pms ko...

Thanks Ulit.. TC!!!

I always do my Innova oil change service sa Shell even on my 11 year old Mitsu Lancer bringing my preferred oil and filter.

Always better at gas station than backyard mechanic, gas station has lifter and they comply with the environmental regulation on proper disposal of used oil.

maraming salamat sir robert minosa and mam liv for the prompt reply.

as usual, mam liv to the rescue. been loyal to toyota otis' insurance because of you. hopefully, aog is still free. hehehe

may pagka malayo manila bay. im quite sure it's either toyota north balintawak or otis. because ive read it before. pero baka namalik mata ako at manila bay nga. who am i to question mam liv? hehehe

anyway, recommendations/suggestions are still very much welcome so please keep them coming sana.

maraming salamat!

hello po sa lahat.. i'll be getting my new innova possibly next week. i read that 1 immediate thing to do is secure the spare tire with chain and lock. asked ko lang po kung how long would the chain be? if you recommend a brand of both as well as place to buy, much appreciated.

sorry for the novice question. thanks in advance.
