Why does Toyota Philippines insist on 5K service interval?

[A121]

pwede naman every 10K eh.

*zechs,

ndi naman siguro poor engine reliability. siguro nagkalasan na yung mga revo at corolla na pinangtataxi.

parang masyadong mahaba nga ang 10k unless you're using synthetic oil. all car manufacturers generally specify service every 3000 miles (4800 km) for non-synthetic oil changes and about 6000 miles if using synthetics.

but don't give your money to the dealer...DIY! it's pretty easy with the proper tools...just do the environment a favor and dispose of used motor oil properly ;)

[ssaloon]

ganon din interval ko... change oil every 5k km (mineral oil), and change oil, fuel filters every 10k km.

outside the casa, of course :D

This has to be looked at from the standpoint of a manufacturer. Given that our conditions generally point to the harsher side of things (traffic, humidity, etc), it seems more prudent to enforce the "harsh conditions" service interval so as to ensure the manufacturer has less liability with the 100,000km/3 year warranty they usually give. It has to be taken that not everyone will take good care of their rides or go through really good roads and conditions.

di ba 5k or 3months? whichever comes first?

di ba 5k or 3months? whichever comes first?

ganyan ang gawa ko ever since

[MAXBUWAYA]

I think its just a way of getting money

Yung Echo ko every 5k daw. Pero Every 10 ginagawa ko

Besides hindi naman ganon ka severe ang traffic dito. Most engine naman can withstand trafficc Hindi naman tayo desierto.

OK lang sa akin ang every 5 kms. Ang kaso, ang mahal na rin PMS cost. My 5K & 10K PMS cost me about P6,400. So that is about P0.64 per km. Then panay pa ang taas ng gas.

5K tama lang, your filters and everything else wears off twice as fast in our harsh road conditions.

Kahit sa manual ng car ko, mga lubrication for hinges lang every 3K ang recommended pag severe compared to 8K kung normal hehe

#1 harsh road conditions
#2 5k is just ok
#3 negosyo kasi yan
