and if bro Jankhia wanted to use FS oil then he could have an option to buy cheaper FS oil outside. mahal sa CASA *784.44/Quart.

Correction lang Retz... Toyota casa sells FS oil in liters.

are we refering to just the light source (yung bumbilya), or to the entire assembly?

kindly clarify if you are increasing your current halogen lamp wattage or are you just merely changing your halogen bulb brand.

I stand corrected mam liv. I thought the poster was referring to FS oil in casa. My bad.

Battery testing can be done by any store selling batteries free of charge.

Engine flush is a must if youre shifhting from mineral based oil to synthetic ones or vise versa but if your plan is to use whatever oil you did used before during your 5k PMS then thst engine flushing is not needed.

I made a canvass during my 1k PMS. Toyota syn oil only cost 648 if im not mistaken plus you can get a 10% discount out of it.

Engine flush is not required even if you are switching to another type of oil. Check the user manual and you will not find any recommendation to use such. It's just a waste of money.

[timo07]

Ok po tanungin ko n lng ung SA kung anu pede alisin. Thank u po..

Unless kilala mo na ang SA at alam mong di ka nilalamangan eh di ka makakasigurong interest mo ang priority nya.

I have the same opinion as first_light below. Two fellow innova owners providing assistance to another. By the way, sa marikina ako nagpapaservice. Look for Alvin Carolino. Sya ang head ng mga SA. On what to include, make reference to our suggestions. Goodluck.

Hindi "baka" dinadagdagan lang. Talagang dinadagdagan yan. Negosyo yan.

Check the service manual.
My personal opinion:
- No need engine flush, change oil lang. Hehehe. Dapat wala nang bayad yan kasi may labor charge naman na.
- No need fuel treatment para sa akin sa 10K and if you maintain your ride well. That means, sinusunod mo PMS schedule at FS ka since 1K PMS. Youtube mo Fuel Treatment to know more.
- Pa-check mo sa kilala mong mechaniko muna kung kailangan break cleaner. Normally, hindi naman kailangan sa 10K PMS.
- Batt test? Usually nasa sa iyo yan. But you can have it checked sa kilalang shop ng mga battery. Beware sa mga madudugas na battery shops. Sasabihin sa yo, palitan na battery mo kahit ok pa para lang bumenta sila.
- Engine and body elect. check? Never paid for this in any of my PMS. Or baka kasama na siya sa engine check-up.
- OIL ang pinakamahal. Check mo kung pwedeng sa yo ang oil. They will just let you sign a waiver. You can buy it from sulit. Medyo not advisable lang kung di mo kilala casa mo, baka lokohin ka lang. Some casas don't do proper service. Kaya minsan may lumalabas na problema after magpa-PMS. Pag nangyari sa yo to at ikaw ang nag-supply ng oil, talo ka. Sasabihin nila, dahil sa OIL na supplied mo. At pag bumili ka ng OIL, check the mfg. date/expiration at properly sealed.

Also, bago magpa-change OIL, check oil muna kung maitim na. Pag maitim na, kailangang flush totally. Kung clear naman and you're changing your oil from FS to MO or vise-versa, flush totally. Else, no need to flush - just top-up.
After change oil, check again if clear na ang color ng oil. Kung maitim, that means hindi na-flush oil mo at baka top-up lang ginawa.

Guys,

How much estimated cost for 40K KMS PMS?

Thanks

In 2009, my colleague got a P16K estimate. Not sure about what it includes but he did mention that casa is saying replacement of all fluids. I'm nearing 40K myself.

Toyota Pasig allows outside original oil/spark plug and pasig wont void your warranty. Bought innova from Makati but Makati does not allow outside oil so dito na kami sa pasig. Pasig will sell you those engine flush, engine treatment. Just politely tell them NO NO NO sa mga engine flush, engine wash, fuel treatment. Sabi nga sa driver "alam yata ng may-ari kung ano ang gagawin sa sasakyan" hehehe. Just have PMS every 10K pag gas yong innova nyo kasi mas mainit ang diesel, mabilis umitim ang oil at kailangan talagang alagaan ang diesel car.

[vic2rem]

Hi po.. Help po.. Tanong ko lng po tama po ba na 10,015 pesos for fully synthetic and 6,700 for regular oil..
and saan po maganda service? Thank u po..
Labor 1,377
Gasket 28
Oil filter 425
Spark plug 364
Synthetic oil 784.44*6 qrts 4,490. /. Tgmo regular oil 6 liters 1,207.44
Engine flush. 340
Fuel treatment 683
Miscel 142
Enfine detailing 800
Sandpaper 16
.50 grease 341
Brake cleaner 275
Batt test 168
Engine & body elect ck. 560

Ty po..

My suggestion on what's needed for your 10K, 20K, 30K PMS
Labor P1,377
Drain Plug Gasket P28
Oil Filter P425
Misc P142
Engine Flush-NO, except pag di ka nag oil change ng matagal,
Fuel treatment-NO may mga additive treatment na yong gas natin like may Techron sa Caltex, Shell, Petron
Spark Plug, Check your owners manual kahit 20K pa nga palitan, pero mura lang naman spark plug. All casas change it every 10K
Engine detailing-NO baka masira pa ang electrical alternator
Brake cleaner-NO malinis pa yan ang drum mo pag 10K lang
Battery Test-NO bili kana lang ng jumper cable just in case mawalan ka ng battery charge at pag mawalan ng charge, time to get a new one. battery would last at least 3 years
Engine& Body electric-NO never heard of thise charges before.
As usual its sell-up for the sales advisor kasi commission basis. But they want you to be happy too para repeat customers. Kaya just say politely say NO pag di needed.

[MrQ5]

... Just have PMS every 10K pag gas yong innova nyo kasi mas mainit ang diesel, mabilis umitim ang oil at kailangan talagang alagaan ang diesel car.

kaya mas mabilis umitim sa diesel oil mas mataas kasi ang detergency content compare to gasoline rated engine oil, as well as anti-wear and tear contents for diesel. At pede din ang diesel engine oil for gasoline engine, madalas mas maganda ang diesel oil kaysa sa gasoline engine oil.

ung 3 week old innova VVTi namin from day 1 ganun na siya talaga. visible ang vibration sa shifter. I think its normal since mahaba at mabigat ung shifter ng innova.

no kalog dapat yun, saken never nagkaron ng kumakalog sa lubak at wiggle kahit 140 (gang dun ko lang kasi sa 140 pinapaandar innova ko hehe.) no wiggle at no kalog dapat yan, D-4D yung saken.

[pingpongdad]

any suggestions for cleaning the blackened areas on the beige ceiling of our innovas? especially seen near the vents of the aircon? car shampoo, upholstery fabric cleaner? thanks a lot

Its Just a slight vibration bro. even my father's revo(gas) shifter behaves like that. I think Sir Mile2 already explained why.
