Going higher octane is rarely a problem. It's when you go to lower octane that there could be a problem if your car requires high octane.

If there is no knocking (tope), then moving to a higher-octane fuel is not necessary.. There's no additional gains except for expense..

check mo din bro kung tama talaga yung amperes na kinarga sa sasakyan mo, i had mine before 65 amperes then nung nasira, 110 yung kinabit which is ok naman basta wag lang mababa sa 65 then after 2 years sira uli alternator ko then bumalik ako sa 65 kasi yun ang tamang amperes sa sasakyan, which is 65..

 

maybe yung kinabit sayo is mas mababa than the normal amperes that is required but it also helps that you check the wirings...

 

if you're near MINDANAO AVENUE, check mo yung SHELL after ng ST. JAMES, ok yung mechanics nila....

Mga sir, ask ko lang sana, although hindi siya car related, but more tungkol sa license.

 

Papaano ba yung sistema ng restrictions sa vehicles sa drivers license? Beginner po ako and will be studying driving this month. Plan ko kasi kumuha ng International Drivers License afterwards,kasi working ako here abroad. Ang question ko rin is, papano ka makakakuha ng additional rating para makapag drive ng trucks, buses? Saan makakapag aral nun diyan sa Manila and saan ako mageexam? Pwede ba ako diretso kumuha ng Professional license pagkatapos ko mag aral ? May experience required ba kapag kukuha nung additional ratings?

 

Nalilito ako kasi here (Japan) kasi very particular kasi sila lalo na sa restrictions, and iba kasi sistema.

 

Thanks sa mga sasagot, please enlighten me.

ford lynx owner here napansin ko na may dalawang maliit na socket nakadikit sa rear windshield para saan ba yun?

Kadalasan yan ay para sa windshield heater (defroster) o di kaya para sa antenna. Yung orange lines na naka-print sa rear windshield ay defrosting wires. Sa iba, dalawang sets ng print ang meron - defrosting wires at radio antenna.

Kung hindi ka magpapalit ng engine, gearbox, rear sprocket o mas malaking rear wheel, para bumilis pwede ang mga ito:

1. use a synthetic motor oil (lower viscosity so less drag on internal moving parts)

2. use higher octane fuel (to maximize engine power). Try a higher octane fuel and see if there is an improvement. Kung wala, hindi na nagbe-benefit ang iyong engine sa mas-matapang na gasolina at kuntento na siya sa dati mong gamit.

3. tune up your engine to maximize engine power.

4. streamline your vehicle (bawasan ang mga haharang sa galaw ng hanging sa paligid ng sasakyan). Yuko ka habang tumatakbo para hindi haharang sa hangin ang iyong katawan.

5. Check tire air pressure. Dapat nasa higher side ng recommended air pressure para less contact sa lupa at bawas ang drag o sabit ng lupa sa sasakyan.

 

Ang 1 at 2 ay mapapagastos ka kumpara sa dati mong gawain. Yung 3 at 5, dapat ginagawa ng regular. Yung 4 pwedeng mura, pwedeng mahal. Kung yuyuko ka lang habang tumatakbo, walag gastos yun. Kung bibili ka ng body kit at special driving suit (aerodynamic helmet at suit), mahal yun.

What's the difference between 4x4 and 4wd. In laymans term

What's the difference between 4x4 and 4wd. In laymans term

 

nothing, actually. both mean "four wheel drive"

 

there are different four wheel drive systems though, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

 

there's awd or all wheel drive where the four wheel drive system is always on. the car's computer decides how much traction to apply and what wheel to apply it to. subarus are of this type.

 

there's also part time four wheel drive where the four wheel drive system is off unless the driver activates it via a switch or lever. old pajeros/safaris/landcruisers are like this.
