Just curious, how and where do you dispose the old engine oil?

I pour them back into the now empty jugs and hand them over to a gas station that takes them.

[oj88]

bro i used the same thin gloves. damn the oil was hot. ingat lng hehehee

A lot of people unscrew it with their hand at the bottom. When the oil comes out, their hand ends up in the way of the oil. The way to do it is you unscrew it with your index finger and thumb from the top of the bolt, somewhat "beki" style. lol. So when the oil spews out, your hands will be clear most of the way.

To be honest, mas napaso pa ako removing the oil filter.

sa oil filter din ako napaso hehehe. the bolt was easy with the beki moves lol...

What I do is drain the oil overnight.

I remove the oil filter early morning the following day.

Walang tatagas na mainit na langis from the oil filter.

Biktima na din ako ng messy oil spillage when removing an oil filter just after turning off the engine.

mga boss, tanong ko lang, ok lang ba na i off agad ang makina ng innova after gamitin? TIA..

Basta di mo hinataw, ayus lang. Otherwise, idle for less than 5 minutes to cool the turbo.

Buy ka na lang ng turbo timer para walang worry [emoji846]

Here is an article of Top Gear Philippines. What they said in the article about slowing down before reaching my destination is what I'm doing. I define "driving at high loads" as driving using at least 50% throttle and being in RPMs above 2000. Anything less than that is low load for me. Therefore, I do the low load driving when I'm already nearing my destination.

Most of the time when I go home I am also the one opening the gates, therefore leaving my car idling while opening the gates. This already counts as the cooldown period for the turbo. This gives me the ability to just turn off my Innova once I have parked in the garage.

I said "here is an article" pero di ko naman nilagay. Haha! Now "here" it is na talaga.

di na need turbo timer, idle ka lang ng 1 min or so just as you are arranging your things and ok na dapat yan

nilabhan ko when it was 20K and here it is on 40K

99% naka recirculate lang. genuine filter, nag add lang ako ng 100 or so kapalit nung unused coolant

Pangit cabin seal ng Innova. Even though it is set to recirculate, there’s maybe 30% outside air leaking in. Ang bilis maglibag ng soot ang interior as a result. Lalo na yung rear A/C.

Anyway, mula nung nag mod ako to cover up external vents (front and rear) as much as I can, outside air intrusion was drasticaly reduced... though, not totally eliminated. It’s fine as it is para meron pa rin ‘new’ air coming in and we don’t run into a risk of running out of oxygen.

Pangit cabin seal ng Innova. .

innova, vios, and other model, pareho filter.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about the cabin seal from the ouside air, not the filter. As in there are nooks and crannies where outside, urban, dirty, and polluted air are coming in, even with the recirc button turned on. The cabin filter is really overtaxed at cleaning raw outside air, much less remove odors even with activated carbon type filters. Besides, the rear A/C doesn’t even have one and it’s a well-known fact that a ton of outside air gets sucked in by the rear blower.

The soot build up in my Innova’s interior have drastically been reduced due to the mods I did.

Just to give everyone a reference, before the mod, after just 3 or 4 months use of my Innova, the cabin filter yields about the same amount of dirt accumulation as my Civic FD cabin filter that’s been used for a year. Ganun karaming dumi pumapasok sa cabin ng Innova because it’s not sealed properly.

Together with the fuel filter change of my Innova Gas 2008 model, the mechanic told me that he will do some cleaning on some sensor of some sort and my ride now is very smooth and the fuel consumption has drastically improved. Dati, I would have difficulty on overtaking some vehicles but yesterday I had a long drive to the southern part of Cebu and was amazed at its performance, it was like driving a new vehicle being able to overtake vehicles. I do not have the chance of going back to the mechanic soon, but I am curious kung ano yung "cleaning ng sensor" ang ginawa nya.... By the way. the fuel filter change was its first on my vehicle after around 130,000 km ODO reading. Before when I have a full tank gas, the estimated "range" of travel reads only around 260km, now after the fuel filter change and that cleaning of the sensor, the estimated "range" of travel of a full tank gas is 360km. So I am really interested to know what cleaning was done... TYIA

^MAF senser?

Aside from being drive-by-wire(throttle controlled by servo motor thru position sensor of the pedal) there is no much mechanical in the fuel system. Cleaning the usual fuel lines (filters, injectors, throttle body) usually gives improvement on older vehicles. Some mechanics would simply remove the fuel injectors and soak it overnight on a carb cleaner to remove dirt deposits.

Probably the throttle body and maf sensor. Those are the common parts that need cleaning in toyota vvti engines.

My Innova 2008 model has a gas engine with over 130,000km ODO. Read somewhere about Oil Catch Cans... My questions are: Should I install one (readily available is MANN Provent 200) considering na gas yung engine ko? Marami ba dito nag-install ng ganito? Is it difficult to maintain? Complicated ba ang maintenance to a noob just like me who wants to learn and try it out? Can the maintenance be done during the 5,000km PMS?

[Louga]

May nagpalinis na ba sa inyo ng throttle body at MAF sensor for innova gas? Ano ba effect sa makina pag pinalinisan ko ito? 122k KM na 09 innova ko at so far wla naman problem sa idling pero curious lang ako baka makatulong sa performance ng makina.

Salamat.
