Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[Ginnova]

Same with ours Jade Green Innova, kitang kita madumihin pati. Hirap tuloy linisin minsan d mo na alam kung minor scratch na or dumi pa lang. Btw, ano kayang best car shampoo ang mai-recommend nyo. Yong very efficient sa linisan para makita agad kung yon ba ay swirls/scratch o scratch na. Thanks.

I'm using Microtex shampoo. available sa Blade,Ace,Handyman. You also need to practice correct washing procedures para iwas swirls. Invest in a good washmitt and drying towel. Apply 2 bucket system as well. 1 bucket for shampoo and 1 bucket of clean water for rinsing the washmit.

Magkano kaya yong Microtex shampoo and washmitt. Ma-try nga. Does Microtex shampoo have sachet packaging or in a bottle? I haven't used yet any wash mitt as I usually use a sponge/chamois in washing and drying. Thanks for your recommendation.

I just bought a Microtex washmitt (P329.95) yesterday at Blade MOA.
Microtex shampoo is P149.95 for a 500ml bottle...or 750ml...was't abe to buy coz i just got a new turlewax shampoo last month.
I also got a Microtex Nano Gloss wax for P99.50 (125ml bottle)... on sale yata...
Although, wasn't able to try any of them today coz of the continuous rains... naawa na nga ako sa innova ko...madumi na :-(

Guys,
Sino na sa inyo ang nakapagpa 20K Kms PMS?
Magkano inabot?
Thanks

Louie,

It has cost me 4.8K. Mineral oil lng pinalagay ko kasi almost 8K ang gastos kapag synthetic. Sa 4.8 K included na labor (which is 1.7K) where they inspect brake pads, and etc.

Yamot lang ako talaga sa gawa nila. While they were testing nadischarge battery ko and I saw them jumpstart my engine by pushing. I tild them na you should be chrging it with a battery and not push it na parang carburetor yung makina nyan.

Since nadischarge nga they recommended me to replace the battery which costs daw 4.8K. Sabi ko I can replace it outside with much cheaper higher grade battery.

I will not anymore go back sa casa. Yung OR pinalagay ko lahat ng inspection na ginawa nila at maghahanap na lang ako ng mas ok na service center next time. Over priced na kabado ka pa sa ginagawa nila. wala na ako tiwala. I went to casa shaw.

Bawal daw lumapit sa mga mechanic habang ginagawa nila car. dun ka lang dapat sa loob ng opis and you view your car from an aquarium kasi magagaling mga technicians nila :P...talo

My Aunt is planning to purchase Innova this month i suggested na SR ung kunin nya since nagagandahan ako sa Exterior nun. So i texted some Sales Agent inquiring for an SR they said wala na daw available. 1 agent offered me the G variant i asked him the available colors may white pearl na pala ang Innova pero sa G and V variants lang daw available the agent told me na 30k disc pero additional 15k for the white pearl this is on Innova G dsl M/T. May pictures po ba kayo ng actual white pearl on Innova?this month lang daw nilabas un sabi ng agent.Baka mas maganda offer ng agents nyo pa PM naman ng contacts

Up for innova! IMHO mas maganda pa rin ang exterior design ng current innova kesa dun sa bagong Innova(2012) na ilalabas.

my 20K PMS costs 3,300 at Tyt Otis but that only includes labor, oil filter, spark plug, brake cleaner, engine flush, silicon spray for the windows, misc... total cost is 5,800... i'm using Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic oil but i didn't buy it sa casa... i got it from a friend who distributes it in car shops that specializes in Mercedes Benz'.

it's the other way around for me naman... nagagandahan ako sa front design nya... parang camry.

I got some info that Big Bert's shampoo is actually a microtex shampoo only in gallon size.

you can buy a sample if you want. 1 sacket around 11 pesos only. good for 1 wash. Sponge/chamois . Those are the same materials i'm using when i have not learned the basics of detailing.

it's possible... what ever it is, i get good results... it leaves a glossy shine after, plus bang for the buck.

hi guyz....im a new member of this forum and i think joining this thread will make me familiar with our car...we bought a toyota innova G variant a/t diesel...and i have many questions regarding this car and im hoping that all those questions will be answered..first thing i notice was that after we finished the regular check up at 1000km the engine coolant drains fast..so we decided to buy an engine coolant and have it refill but my father used to own a mitsubishi pajero 2009 model he never buy an engine coolant to refill when his car reach 1000km+...is this really normal?..

[Ginnova]

welcome to the Innova forum and congrats on your new ride. my ride is gas variant but have not refilled my coolant yet.

tnx a lot...and regarding tires...how frequent should i switch the tires..i mean should i do it every 2 months or 3 months??...

I do tire rotation every 10k. Re ur water coolant, are you referring to the coolant reservoir not being full to the brim? If yes, it's not supposed to be full to the brim. There are markings on the side indicating the 'full' and 'low' levels.

tnx for the info..well i think i'll wait until the odo reach 10k..im half way though round 4400+....gonna go to casa soon...yeah that's what im talking about...i know ur not suppose to fill it to the brim...it's just it bothers me cuz it goes down close to "low" level and im thinking if i dont buy an engine coolant and refill it soon enough it will lead to another...nywayz everything is fine cuz probably it's brand new but i just want to keep our car in good condition...

sir kung nakabili - kana pwede mo yan pakabit sa kahit alin mang suking accessory shop, i believe kaya nilang ikabit yan.

if you want DIY, hintaying natin yung iba to give you instruction.

kung bibili ka pa lang - try mo sa evangelista price nila last check ko was 3.2K (installation included)
