Para kang hindi dyumebs o umihi ng ilang taon.

 

The oil ultimately collects all the byproducts of the combustion process of the engine...this is why the oil gets darker the longer you have it in your engine. If you don't have it replaced, eventually it breaks down and you will end up with SLUDGE. This sludge can no longer lubricate your engine's internals like a proper oil should.

 

Oil is not only the lifeblood of your car. It's also where a lot of the s@%t goes so it has to be replaced regularly. Moral lesson: from a maintenance standpoint, you can never change your oil too frequently.

 

i agree, i use fully synth oil, and even just after 5k kms, it's too dark already...

 

so even though it's very expensive, i change oil every 5k nalang, basta alaga lang yung makina...

Excerpts:

 

An unusual document from the Vatican's office for migrants and itinerant people also warned that cars can be "an occasion of sin" — particularly when they are used for dangerous passing or for prostitution.

 

It warned about the effects of road rage, saying driving can bring out "primitive" behavior in motorists, including "impoliteness, rude gestures, cursing, blasphemy, loss of sense of responsibility or deliberate infringement of the highway code."

 

It urged motorists to obey traffic regulations, drive with a moral sense, and to pray when behind the wheel.

 

The "Drivers' Ten Commandments," as listed by the document, are:

 

1. You shall not k*ll.

 

2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.

 

3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.

 

4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.

 

5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.

 

6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.

 

7. Support the families of accident victims.

 

8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.

 

9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.

 

10. Feel responsible toward others.

if i had the correct tools at parts and I think I can do without help ako na gumagawa... pero if its not wirth the time and effort at mas cheaper ipagawa dadalin ko na lang sa mechanic.

 

minsan kasi di mo na naenjoy yun DIY pag sobra pagod ka kakagawa at minsan may masisira ka pa.

[k.rams2004]

no, better leave it to the professionals.

but if being a mechanical guy my self, i try to attend the minor glitches.

It's a very interesting thing, goes to show you that the Vatican isn't a collection of old hoots who've their noses stuck in Theology. Anyway, I once saw on TopGear that if you drive like a Christian motorist, you'd get to your destination in rouhgly the same time. Food for thought lang.

[FAHAD]

basta kaya ko, ako ang gumagawa like tune-ups, change plugs, clean TB, check/clean/adjust/replace brake pads, etc.. wag lang buong makina or drive train hehe

[manhivin]

Only cleaning and some electrical tweeking ofmy audio system, nothing big.

I have heard from a friend that Acetone (pure acetone, that is, not the one used in removing nail polish) can improve fuel combustion, and thereby contribute to fuel efficiency, when added to gasoline. What I heard was to add about 60ml of pure acetone to a tankfull of gasoline.

 

The question now is, does this really work and is it safe?

 

If so, where can pure acetone be purchased locally?

 

Thanks a lot to those who would share some info.

[zanjoe]

sa hbc

[Oluguren]

hbc sells pure acetone? gotta check this out....

[Google]

use of acetone was also tested by a fellow tsikoteer (see tsikot.com), with satisfactory results...
