dlastknight Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have a Mitsu l200 endeavor that I use for a daily beater... never lets me down, especially on baha days... I use it to haul big ass stuff, very convenient when doing grocery... well anyways I saw the new strada and damn... its freakin nice... thinkin of buyin 1... coz of the turbo, I bet it rides sweeter than the previous stradas... coz thats my only complain with the L200 its a bit slow... but 4 a daily beater ok na rin... tops speed on the endeavor tho is 155kph thats on d expressway going 2 subic... hirap paabutin ng mas mataas pa bcoz of the slow acceleration...

CivicVTi Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 In my book, additives are just a waste of money. Whether you own a gas or diesel engined vehicle, the most important thing is to change your motor oil at the correct interval as recommended by the manufacturer. And use high quality oil filters (original if possible) and the correct viscosity oil based on our climate (again as recommended by our local manufacturer). Quote Link to comment

Recommend ko wag mo na sa kanila dalhin pag magpapa change-oil. Bilin mo na lang ung filter sa kanila tapos sa labas mo na ipa-service para makapili ka pa ng brand of oil na preferred mo at para makatipid ka din sa gastos. I use Shell Helix 20/50 para sa Civic ko but iba ang ratings para sa diesel engine. Try mo din ang Shell brand, who knows baka makuha mo din ung improved ride kahit walang additives. Baka kasi ung ginagamit nila na oil sa casa eh pang Japan ang ratings. Sa Honda kasi ang nilalagay nila sa kotse eh 15/40 rating....dapat 15/50 or 20/50 para mas suitable sa hotter climate natin.

Nabutas yung top part na plastic kaya para hindi masayang ung radiator, dinala ko sa Denso sa Quezon Av. malapit sa EDSA. Pinalitan nila yung buong plastic sa ibabaw. Total cost: P2500...kasama na labor at parts. Sa Banawe gusto nila palitan buong radiator ko, P4500 hinihingi sakin at hindi pa aluminum, tanso pa..kaya sabi ko saka na lang at pagiisipan ko muna. Buti na lang may nagsabi sakin dalhin ko na lang sa Denso, OEM pa. Wag mo lagyan ng plain tap water na galing sa faucet (kahit na Manila Waters yan o Nawasa). May halong chlorine yan na masama sa radiator...magkaka scales yung loob. Gamitan mo ng coolant na recommended ng casa plus Wilkins or Absolute distilled water. Yup yung binibili natin sa grocery. Mas tatagal ang radiator mo pati na din water pump. Mura lang ang distilled water kaya wag manghinayang kung mas tatagal naman ang radiator natin. Quote Link to comment

jjb Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I saw a display of the new Ford Ranger in Greenhills Theater last Friday. Ang ganda! I don't know about the ride though - I heard Isuzu's have the best ride comfort for pick-ups.... Quote Link to comment
CivicVTi Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 how about purified water dude?? kasi i have a purified water station sa amin eh, what brand of coolant do u suggest?? thanks for the tips dude, i really owe you 1!! :mtc: Kung sigurado ka na walang halong chlorine o iba pang chemicals ang purified nyo...best guess ko ay pwede na sya. Ang distilled kasi talagang pure eh, kung baga...pawis lang sya ng tubig. Ang mineral water nga hindi good enough para sakin kasi...may minerals eh. Regarding sa coolant, tatlo pa lang ang nasusubukan kong brand. Peak (P150+), Springfield (P130+), at yung available ngayon sa Shell gas stations (P300). Wala naman ako difference na napansin sa kanila except yung kulay ng liquid (Green para sa Peak at Springfield, red naman para sa Shell). I just make it a point na mag drain ng buong system at magreplenish once every year, usually during summertime para handa sa init talaga ang sasakyan. Quote Link to comment

Di ko pa na try oil ng Mitsubishi eh pero sa tingin ko mas maganda yung sa Shell. Battery water naman, in theory pwede dapat sa radiator. Kaso hindi naman sya recommended inumin ng tao. Dun ka na lang sa purified nyo, mas sigurado pa na malinis. Quote Link to comment
Flash_Brown Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 alright dude, i was really planning to buy the shell oil for diesel.. yung black (mga around 6 liters bibilin ko, 1 pc na 4 liters plus 2 pcs na 1 liter...) Quote Link to comment
