id go for CALTEX
since if im not mistaken they are the Fuel company here in our country that has a Techron additive to have a much more cleaner burn
not only that, thee gives me an extra mile compared to the latter....

I agree, Caltex din ako.

My ride is a D4D E, from day 1 to 1 year exclusive Petron ako. FC was 11km/l city driving. After a year I switched to Shell. Same performance as Petron except FC went down to 10km/l.

One time, during my PMS I asked the toyota service rep what car he drives, he said a diesel SUV. I asked what fuel he uses, to my surprise he said Caltex. He mentioned that Toyota Makati did a comparative evaluation amongst the big 3 and 2 new players, CALTEX diesel was on top.

I tried Caltex and to my amazement there was less engine vibration, less engine noise and the engine response improved dramatically. FC was 11.5km/l.

Now I am using Caltex, try nyo...you'll notice the difference.

guys which rim color ba is better the silver or the sparkle silver?? tnx

[Blackshark1999]

Meron akong stepboard dati but I decided to remove it, mas maganda kasi yun side skirt ng Innova SR & planning to have it in my innova. Yun Stepboard kasi pagtumagal lumalangitngit & napapraning ako kapag may naririnig akong maingay sa oto ko. hehehe...

Usually nangyayari talaga ang paglangitngit a few days after installation, you just have to bring it back sa dealer to have them tighten the nuts. In my experience with the original toyota stepboard, hindi naman nagka langitngit, 1 year na.

Personal preference ko silver inner with sparkle silver lips.

[Mile2]

Yung step board depende yan sa installer and number of brackets.

Mine was bought AutoBacs Banawe and already approaching 4 years at wala pang langitngit.

The one I got was with 3 sturdy brackets per side and bolted on the spare chassis nut holes - no drilling.

Hmmm... I've been a Shell user (diesel) and Petron for gasoline. I will give Caltex diesel a try. My fuel consumption on the innova is consistent at 10.5km/li - mostly Marikina to Q.C. (eastwood area) and vice versa.

Is your FC city driving? if so what sort of traffic do you usually encounter?

Yes FC 11.5km/l is pure city driving. My innova is Model E D4D MT year 2008. I'm from Tondo and I work at Makati.

Mine too from Autobacs Banawe but after 2 months nagkalangitngit. Tama si Mile2, Dipende sa installer. Actually yun sa akin minonitor ko pa sya, kaso ewan ko ba kung bakit nagkalangitngit. I also try to fix there alignment at medyo nawala yun langitngit pero bumalik din, kaya I decided to remove it & think of replacing it with SR Accessories.

Tip lang sa mga nagpapagawa sa CASA, mostly yung mga worker na nagkakabit ng Accessories sa Toyota ay contractor lang from Banawe like Autobacs. Kinokontrata lang po ng toyota ang isang accessory dealer then yun sinasabi na nila na iba yun supply nila from Banawe...

Yung lumalangingit sa stepboard, nangyari din sa 'kin, pagkatapos lang na ikabit three months ago. Try nyo na lagyan ng manipis na goma in between nung step board at nung side na nakalapat sa body. Nagkakaron kc ng metal to metal contact ung dalawa kaya lumalangitngit. Yung sa kin, hinanap ko kung bakit lumalangitngit. Kapag tinapakan, lumalabas ung ingay. So un nga, nagkikiskisan ung dalawa, nung malagyan ko ng manipis na goma, nawala ung ingay.

Hello po mga ka-innova. Ask ko lang kung anyone here na nakaranas na mag-burn ng mp3/audio CD for their stock stereo ng innova then madalas nag-eerror yung binurn niyo? What i mean is sometimes nag-pplay siya but sometimes error ang lumalabas. 2 CD burners na ang ginamit ko and 3 different brands ng CD-R na ang nagamit ko but same pa din ang result. In other audio cd's naman gumagana siya pero parang maselan na siya pag burned-CD na.

May nakaranas na po ba nito? Any remedies?

[Louga]

sakin nov 2009 ko kinuha, meron filter. sa case ng error mp3, try mo mag burn ng cd at a lower speed tapos check mo yung box na verify data. I use burned mp3 on any cd brands. ok naman sa akin.

Sa pagbuburn try to use the lowest speed, im sure magwowork na yan.

Sa pagbuburn try to use the lowest speed, im sure magwowork na yan.

Tama yun suggestion nila... pero pag hindi pa din nagwork, yung player na ang may problem (namimili ng CD)... meron kasing ganyang mga player na sobrang sensitive - mostly ng binabasa nya original at minsan nga hindi pa rin binabasa.

Isa pang work around solution is to clean the player. may nabibiling cleaner nyan sa mga CD store.

Hope nakatulong.
