i'll join the EB soon!!!

Nice

I switch back na to mineral oil, mukhang mas okay pa every 5K replacement or very 3 months in my case. Ayaw ko ng every 10K masyado ng marumi ang langis. I'm using Petron oil since sa Petron na rin ako nagpapa-change oil.

Cheers!

i dont know if it matters but my unit is A/T diesel variant.
May i know the oil viscosity you're using? casa has 15W-40. Im planning to use CASTROL or TOTAL in my 5km pms.

Im also planning to change oil before it reach 5k. Example: if i have 1k milage nw, ill change my oil around 2.5k and change oil again on the 5k pms. is this approach okay?

AFAIK, 2005-2006 model does not have cabin filter pero puedeng lagyan, later model 2007 and up meron na. Yung mga naka honey comb grills meron na rin.

One way to check if you have cabin filter is looking at the glove compartment on the passenger side., there is a sticker there on how to access the cabin filter.

You will need to detach the globe compartment to access the cabin blower and the blower filter(cabin filter). You just need a paint brush and blower to dust off accumulated dust.

darn to know.... tnx for the info sir

anyway, since we have no cabin filter; how does our model compensate filtering some uneven particles within the cabin interior?

what if I would like to install a cabin filter on my model - 2005 Toyota Innova J D4D; is that possible? do you happen to know how much would that cost me?

tnx.

I can feel you sir in owning a brand new innova... but I say it's too much if you practice this method. magastos...

every 5k odo reading change oil is enough to protect your engine... I say also that it's better to change oil with mineral every 5k reading, than every 10k odo reading with semi synthetic or higher grade of oils...

but if your using your innova in racing or in frequent high rev or hauling with heavy loads, I think your idea will apply...

i dont think it is expensive if i'll just use mineral oil all throughout. my innova is used as everyday car like going to the office. i dont haul heavy loads and what's weird is i usually have only 1 passenger of the 8 seater capacity innova hehehe

[crossedge]

sir mile2, ano po engine oil use mo ngayon? i used mineral oil for my 1kPMS this morning

Sir pwede ba matanong kung magkano damage nyo sa 1km nyo and ano ginawa? Naka schedule din kasi ako Wednesday para may idea lang ako.

[sgt_taga]

^ bro, sa kin recent 1k pms - change oil (mineral is ok kase you would need to do another checkup in 3 mos anyway), checkup ng breaks, adjustment ng idling, body at engine wash, saka checking ng mga fluids.

around 1.5k po. mineral oil gamit ko.

[bossing47]

I got a 2 year old innova, and I can say sulit talaga sya in anyway... ahehehehehe...

In my case, for 1K PMS amounted to P 1,342.00 using mineral oil (Toyota Alabang).

When it comes to mineral oil, VVTi uses roughly 6 liters only and D4d roughly 7 liters. Iba din ang presyo ng Gas engine oil sa Diesel engine oil.

Are you guys talking about same variants?

Thanks for the replies . . . mine is a d4d . . I think those information are enough for me to have a rough estimate.

*Mile2: Thanks for this usefull information. Kakatapos ko lang maglinis ng cabin filter ng innova namin. By the way, add ko na din na i-brush na din yung cover ng cabin filter kasi may nagaccumulate na din na dusts sa gilid gilid niya. Sa sobrang excite ko, di pa ko naghuhugas ng kamay. haha! Grabe ang dusts sa cabin filter ng innova ko. First time niya malinisan. By the way, ano po yung magiging improvement/s ko Sir mile2 after cleaning the cabin filter? Thanks!

Grabe ang dust di ba! minsan pag nag long drive ako sa mga probinsiya na dusty ang roads mas makapal ang dust collected.

Advantage: mas masarap ang hangin

Mas malakas ang buga ng hangin at less prone to dust residue ang mga air vents. Less dust din sa interior upholstery (ceiling, seats and floor).

Cheers!

2005 model sa amin, walang cabin filter.

Already bought the cabin filter and the door assembly. kaso ang problem, wala pa palang access door yung blower cover.

pano kaya mabubutasan yun?

[morlack]

GUys ask lang..

Yung hand brake ko kasi 5 step pull bago gumana ang hand brake niya.
normal lang ba to? around 4k odo na ako..

[wolfhound]

are your Innova's D4D A/T?? I did went to Pagudpod last holy week and only able to get 10.5Km/Li...

Been using Mobil1 synthetic oils all the way from 1k PMS, not a problem crusing at 140kph along highways though. just look at my signature pic taken at Bangui windmills in Ilocos Norte.


WBR,

Sir, May i know the grade/viscosity of the mobil1 FS oil you're using?
