Wow Cummins engine!!
If this will indeed land in our shore then Foton will have a good weapon for the local pick-up truck battle ground.

Just an update guys. Had my 20K PMS and it's a whooping 8.4K damage to my wallet... (ganun ba talaga kamahal?).

They changed all the fluids (Engine, differential, transmission, brake).
They changed all the filters (Air filter, engine oil filter, fuel oil filter 1 & 2).
They changed the front brake pads, cleaned the rear horse shoe brake pads.
35 pt. checkup.
Changed the busted backup bulb.

So far, wala naman ako na-experience pa na major "negative" issue on this Chinese manufactured vehicle, everything is still on tip-top shape.

fuel consumption is still 12.5 KM/L on city driving, 14-15 KM/L on highways.

noticed some rattling sound at the back seat, pero I suspect it's the sidings that I removed para magkasya yung subwoofer box ko sa likod ng rear passenger seat.

10 months old na sya, still enjoying it and hopefully magtuloy tuloy pa.

Sa nagastos mo sakto lang yan. Pinagtataka ko lang * 20K PMS bat pinalitan agad ang differential and transmission fluids? Ano yung sinusunod mo na interval bro? Every X number of months or every 5K na PMS?

Considering the stuff they changed. Siguro pwede na yan. Yun nga lang ang daming unnecessary. If I remember right ang differential oil pinapalitan ever 40tkms and transmission ata every 80tkms. Air filter linis lang naman ang katapat. They changed the brake pads? This early?

**Fotonista** · March 28th, 2012 04:15 PM

Yun nga rin ang di ko maintindihan kung bakit pinalitan agad, medyo tamang duda ako kaya binantayan ko and they indeed changed the said parts, they are even asking me kung kukunin ko daw pa yung mga pinagpalitan eh wala naman ako gagamitan kaya di ko na kinuha.

5K PMS ang sinusunod ko mga bossing. Next change ng fluids na medyo major daw would be sa 60K PMS, so change oil lang ng change oil ulit every 5K.

Since mura lang naman yung gastos kung sa casa ako magpapa PMS, would you guys suggest na tuloy-tuloy ko lang? Until when will I continue having my PMS sa kanila? Only issue lang naman kasi sa akin is medyo malayo yung casa pero so far, service wise ok naman at mababait yung mga staff nila.

Siguro dahil bnew kaya 20K pa lang palti na ng diff at tranny fluids. Next mo naman is 40K na so tingin ko okay lang na gunawa nila yun.

Parang break-in din ng ibang fluids.

I could even consider to buy that ugly pickup only because of the Cummins engine
