Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued]

Speaking of gasoline, mas matagal bang maubos yung higher variants such as Blaze, etc.. kesa sa ordinary unleaded? ever since kasi nilagyan na ng ethanol yung unleaded, ang bilis na maubos.

All gasoline products in RP are supposed to be ethanol blended by now.
Since ethanol has a lower boiling point, it evaporates faster.

Also, all gasoline products here now are lead-free.
Therefore, they are all "unleaded".

The law bans the use of lead-based additives because of its effect on health (it lowers mental ability)

What 'octane rating' to use?

As a rule, higher octane fuel is not always what your car needs.

Using a fuel with higher octane rating than what the engine needs or requires to prevent knocking is just a waste of money (higher octane more expensive).

Also, there are two types of octane numbers:

1. motor octane number (MON) and
2. Research Octane Number (RON)

MON is measure with engine at high RPM (~900) while RON is measured
at lower RPM.

MON is a better measure of fuel performance and is lower than RON.

I think our gas stations post RON ie. 95 RON is ot really 95 but lower etc.


If you have a new vehicle, follow what the manual says. When you drive, observe engine performance (knocking, power).

Fuel character shows up especially when under heavy loads. Watch for knocking (takatakatakatak sound).

If you hear that, try the next higher octane product. Observe again. repeat the process until you find the product that will not cause knocking.

safe and defensive driving!

Guys,
We will be getting our Innova V bronze this week. I heard that Goldrich in Banawe has good accessories and service. Ano kaya magandang unahin na upgrade, side skirts or mags? Ano po kayang size ng mags and tires and maganda to further improve yung ride quality? And around how much estimated cost? And also what kind of tint would you suggest na effective for heat rejection at hindi masyado makikita yung loob. We are very excited na to get our Innova... Thank you very much

Tint: The kind that REFLECTS light the most is best. A mirror-like surface.

Overdrive ussually is just a downshift, so downshifting to 3 should do the trick. The D4d engine is powerful enough though and you may not need this anymore. What's ECT?

If I may respectfully rectify this one:

OVERDRIVE is not downshifting. It's the opposite.

It's there for fuel savings, more speed but less torque.
It is for high speed cruising ...which does not require much torque just to sustain momentum.

Speaking of gasoline, mas matagal bang maubos yung higher variants such as Blaze, etc.. kesa sa ordinary unleaded? ever since kasi nilagyan na ng ethanol yung unleaded, ang bilis na maubos.

And by the way, ethanol has lower energy content than gasoline.
So we use more fuel to travel same distance now.

bro, pag mags lng usapan ung 17" or 18" pwd pro pag loaded nang passengers yung innova mu "17 ok na..pag 18" medyo mahihirapan na..basta 5holes pcd 114..

mga master good day! patulong sa mga vvt-i masters, kukuha kami ng G-variant gas A/T. ano kaya ang fuel consumption niya? sabi kasi ng pinsan at uncle ko malakas sa konsumo mga 4-5 km/L city driving. highway consumption hindi nila alam.

PS: meron kami honda odyssey, FC nya 5 km/L. malakas.. isip ko lang kung same consumption nila? advance salamat sa mga kasagutan.
