Flash_Brown Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 What brand of oil do they use sa casa? 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. thanks for the very helpful tip dude, i think they just use regular oil sa casa... i usually go there because of the oil filter...next change oil, i'll try to follow your advice dude!! just recently, my radiator just had a small hole in it, so when i fixed it, the mechanic told me to just use plain water, avoid the coolant, kasi before i use coolant (prestone or the petron super coolant)... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

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

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

REIVAXXX_0801 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Me I drive a 1994 Nissan Power Power Pick-Up. Still very good ang makina and cooling system kahit more than 10 years old na siya. Well maintained ang makina and never been overhauled pa although mukhang its high time na rin na ipa-top overhaul ko siya. Still can go 140kph sa NLEX! Quote Link to comment
