just prepare a more or less 50k for repairs and maintenance of whatever car you're getting.

Tol, limited lang ba sa 1.6 engine ang sludghing issues or more common lang siya kaysa doon sa 1.8 engine?

imho, any engine is prone of sludging. its just that the 3zzfe is designed to have an oil change every 5k km. some users dont follow the pms. this is the clear resolution of the toyota motors why there was no recall regarding the sludging.

as to your question, yup, mas laganap sa 1.6L kesa sa 1.8L considering that there are more(way more) 1.6 (3zzfe) corolla(US)/altis(Phil) than the 1.8L

Since you're still a student, bili ka ng Corolla AE92. It's a very nice classic car if you maintain its clean looks. Should be cheap mga 70-90K lang siguro. Yung matitira, reserve it for the maintenance expenses.

OT:
Pasensya na sa mga tanong ko tol, ikaw yata ang expert dito.

1st question:
Ang sludging ba ay 90-100% na eeliminate kapag nag change oil ka? For example when I checked my oil, makapal na siya masyado at may konteng sludge na sa loob ng engine. If I change my oil now, will all of the sludge be removed meaning that 90-100% good as new na ung oil or meron siyang cumulative effects for the next oil changes?
By "cumulative effects" I mean ung bits of sludge na di natanggal dahil late ako nag oil change dati ay dadami if I don't follow the next regular oil change schedule.

Here is the scenario: Its been 12k kms since I changed the oil. When I checked it, its very thick already and then small amounts of sludge has formed. If i change my oil now, will all of the sludge be removed or is there a special procedure to toatally remove all of the sludge?

Pasensya na talaga sa tanong tol, im worried kasi. Ikaw din yata ang expert dito. Thanks!

Back to topic: Tol 7th gen corolla kunin mo kasi ang reliable at mura pa at low maintenance.

big body na lang kunin mo para easy maintenance.

xe model will do para may power steering ka naman.

Back to topic:
Piliin mo Gli or Xe na may power windows para di ka mahirapan. Iwasan mo ung pawis steering at pawis windows, mas lalo kang mapapawisan niyan lalo na pag M/T ung sasakyan at ang init dahil sa global warming.

**digitel** · May 10th, 2010 03:17 PM

Get the toyota GLi, parehas lang tayo student pa lang, may friend ako Gli yung toyota niya, pero A/T ayun 100 pesos gasolina daw niya sa isang araw, about 20 kms lang naman ang layo ng school mula sa bahay, SLEX pa daan nun.

or if you want get a sentra LEC or any of its kind.

Aejhayl was referring to me, I guess.

But like him, I`m no expert. So I wouldn't have the answers to your queries. Might as well post a new topic under the Toyota thread so mostly all of the members can read and hopefully respond.
