Check mo billing paper mo baka they use additives or flushing. Tama lang yung P1500+ for 6 liters mineral oil at oil filter at miscellaneous .

Good Day sa lahat, just want to share, got my 2011 Innova 2.5 M/T yesterday from Toyota Dasmarinas. I had a very accomodating sales agent kaya it took only 2 days to release my unit. Inquire ko lang about sa tint medyo d lang ako nagandahan sa tint sa likod na pinto kc my cut sa gitna and halatang halata kapag tumingin k sa rear view mirror. D b talaga kayang i-tint ng buo at walang cut ang rear window ng innova? Thanks

everyone who has a manual trans does it! we've been doing it on our ride since 14 years ago. just when will all these disadvantages happen?
my point: the potential danger of not using engine brake, far outweighs the potential savings in expenses.
my 88 centavos' worth..

every up and down road should have its corresponding gear to use, not over rev. or under rev./ engine lugging, or else you will meet your favorite mechanic more often than usual, thats why these cars that regularly going up hill and down hill have different maintenance schedule (short intervals) than cars used in low lands, just try to go downhill from baguio to la union using just engine brake, and other vehicle using corresponding gear and using the brake, you can tell the difference. i used to work before at pepsi la union plant, we have fleet of civic 02 model, 2 of them going to baguio at daily basis, 5 years used before sold at auction, these 2 units have big difference at their engine condition and performance, i know because im driving the other 1. thats my point about potential abnormal engine wear due to over rev. from using regular practice of engine brake.

aw. nakita ko nga sa bill, merong engine flushing sir. wala naman akong sinabi na ganun eh. P1650 lang nakalagay dun sa total parts, tapos total POL, merong 1100 na nakalagay. tapos nakita ko me engine flushing dun sa POL. pwede naman po walang engine flushing diba? sasabihin ko na lang po ba next time is nno engine flushing? dapat 1650 lang po yung bill ko eh no? thanks for that sir. di ko na inspect masyado kasi nagmamadali ako nung 5k PMS ko, coding kasi ako nung dinala ko dun sa casa, kaya hinahabol ko yung 3pm na makapnta ako ng cainta. next time check ko na ng maige.

sir miles magkanu kaya yung tamang bill talaga ng 10k PMS?

sir thanks sa info but do you think ico-cover nila under warranty to replace the tint, actually nagdagdag pa nga ako to upgrade the tint to 3M.

+1 ako sa pt. mo sir! also, defensive driving might be the best solution for driving and a bag full of patience!!!

I'm baaack! bro nawala ba? I definitely think eto yun. amoy display unit e. no barcode stickers or torque marks sa wheel nuts. lahat ng usual markers ng factory fresh wala. nag spill pa agent na "swap" nila yun with toyota manilabay. haaaaaaay. fortunaley lang good ang unit. kahit display unit siya acceptable. dealer and agent hindi. wake up toyota. mga dealer at tao nyo sinisira kayo. horrible experience with the dealership in general and with the agent in particular. cant wait to have it serviced. 1k at 5 k lang talaga i-avail ko. others sa mga trusted mechanics ko na lang. wiil i buy another toyota/ yes. from them? HELL NO!

never uses the gearbox/ engine to slow the car, Brake pads are alot cheaper than an over revved engine/valvetrain.......

engine braking does add wear and tear pero di naman abnormal levels. used to avoid it like the plague! pero you can have better car control with engine braking. basta use it to assist your brakes lang. like anything know what your doing lang. pag puro brakes lang lalo na sa high speed and/ or high mass vehicle sure na mag fail brakes mo due to over heating. na experince mo na ba brake fade going down hill in? better practice some engine braking bago mo maranasan yun.
