Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[antonath]

Guys, can you suggest a best tint for a silver innova? This will be driven by a lady in her mid 50s. Better heat reduction without sacrificing her privacy and visual. Unit comes with a free 3m tint. Di ko lang alam anong ilalagay. Thanks

in my opinion, there's no such thing. it is always a compromise.
mine came with the car, courtesy of casa. medium tint daw. my front windshield has tint only in the uppermost area. i have no problems.
i'm not picky.
but at night, there are times, i.e., backing up or maneuvering, when i wish i had no tint at all. i gather most drivers are like this, although not all will admit it.
the innova's aircon is good. my only problem regarding the aircon, is if nabilad ang sasakyan sa mainit na araw.. but then, no car with any tint of any type, will fare any better under these conditions.

good luck, sir. i am sure others have well-meaning suggestions, as per their experience.

tanda niyo pa po ba sir kung mga magkano po fuel pump baka sakali lang dn

Do you bring your innova to your trusted shop or casa every 5-10k kms?
If not. Make it a habit to do PMS for peace of mind and to diagnose problems arising from your beloved Innova to prevent more serious damage. 😃

I suggest having 3M Magic Neutral Black Chrome 35 for the windshield. It provides adequate heat/solar energy protection without hampering visual driving at night, maaliwalas pa din kung baga. For the front windows I would also suggest Black Chrome 35 so the driver will not have difficulty using her sideview mirrors. For the rest of the car a darker shade would be ideal like 3M Black Chrome 20.

ang innova po ba need din ipa tune up yung bubuksan yun ibabaw ng engine

Not really, not unless your ride is experiencing strange sounds coming from inside the engine (needs inspection) or if the valve cover gasket needs replacement due to leaks.

agreed. although I actually have BC35 all around, including full front tint.

No difference brad. Innova automatic diesel.

Euro4 since jan 1, shell caltex petron even phoenix.

[jovz]

ah buti po sir para panatag na magpakarga ng euro 4 diesel

[xonx]

Sorry kung nadiscuss na pero sobra haba na ng thread.

Tanong lang kung sino naginstall ng cross bar at thule-type na back rack sa mga Innova ninyo. Masyado ba mataas at ano ang good na brand na swak ang presyo. Mas mahal pa ata ang Thule kesa sa bike ko

[1natzt]

fuel pump filter will cost PhP 850 +/- and labor at 350 outside casa.


thanks

Hello mga ka Innova.. ano ba best practice at kelan ba dapat magpalit ng ATF at gear oil? Sensya na tinamad na halungkatin yung manual.. nakatago eh..

Maraming salamat..

[ParticleX]

IIRC, ATF according to manual is inspect lang every 80k, dipstick says under 'normal' conditions eh does not need to be replaced - which I will not follow in a good way. Balak ko every 30k/40k drain and fill

May nakita na kasi akong Innova A/T na di nagshi-shift, sabi torque converter daw ang nasira. Nasanay rin ako sa other A/T car ko na at 20k pinapalitan ko na - mura kasi Dexron III, di ko pa sure kung magkano Type IV, 10 liters kelangan (yata accdg to manual? or this number is kung totally empty lang ang tranny)

Some forumers says that it should be every 50k KM odo. So yun na lang din balak ko since di naman daw ito tulad ng Honda AT.

[dr. d]

some of today's AT boxes are built to almost-clockwork tolerances..
i would change my ATF as per manufacturer's recommendations.
but i see the point of those who opt for a more frequent schedule.

[oj88]

How the vehicle is used pretty much have everything to do with how fast moving parts wear out. For the A/T in particular, it would be prudent to replace the ATF more often if the vehicle is frequently loaded at or near capacity, driven in mountainous regions, and/or is subjected to a lot idling or stop-and-go traffic.

Fluid is cheap. As a way to ensure I'll get the most out of my A/T, I decided that I would replace the ATF every 30,000 km or 2 years, whichever comes first.

[kevinworld]

Sa mt vs at. Mas madali masira yung mt. Pero mura lang ang clutch disk and cover replacement. Some casa a/t fluid costs almost 1k per liter. For me, change fluid to similar specifications any good brand.

Except for Honda. Sira kaagad basta Hindi galing casa ang fluid

+1 here. lalo na kung walang TLC kumambio ang drivers, palibhasa di sa kanila ang auto.

Innova users,

Ano po ang tamang power steering fluid gamit ng Innova?

Sa manual, sabi "Automatic transmission fluid DEXRON II or III".

Pero may nabasa ako sa isang thread dito sa tsikot na Toyota Type T-IV daw.
http://tsikot.com/forums/suspension-...teering-67253/

Sa casa po ba, meron sila specific fluid for power steering na binebenta?

Out of warranty na po yun innova namin, and since malapit na mag 40k km, plan ko palitan na ng power steering fluid.

Full flush po ba, or drain and replace lang pagdating sa power steerring fluid?

Please enlighten. Thanks.

I think the thule crossbar for roof rail less vehicles is 10-15k
A cheaper alternative is the BUZZ brand around 4.5k pesos and it is also a known brand
And back rack or bike rack?
Medyo mataas nga ang height pero its up to you and an alternative is to buy an hitch pro (11k) and buy a bike rack that can be mounted on the hitch pro..
Actually I'm also planning on putting a crossbar instead of an oem roof rail on my innova.
