For the 10,000KM PMS, I spent about 8,200 pesos.
Then for the 20,000 PMS, it was 9,350.00 pesos.

In general, the service that I am getting with Bonifacio Ave. Foton is very good. From the Service Supervisor down to the Mechanic, they are all approachable and customer oriented. Even in other branches na na try ko (QC and Pasong Tamo Extn.), mababait sila and you can tell them your concerns. If they cannot resolve it at their level, they contact the plant in Subic and ask for assistance or schedule if further fixing is needed.

I guess they have been trained that way dahil expected nga nila na a lot of complaints (small or big) will come in their way because of the "stereotype" filipino in us na "China brand kasi yan eh".... "Sirain kasi yan eh".... "puro problema yan kasi lemon yan eh"....

Pretty good figures when compared to the MU-X maintenance of every 5K KMS. Eto yung breakdown ng MU-X 3.0 AT until 20K kms na aabot ng 33K.
5K kms - Php 5K
10K kms - Php 8K
15K kms - Pho 5K
20K kms - Php 17K

Hopefully Foton will be here to stay. Regardless of the "China" stigma, I am still glad that this is Philippine made. Based on feedback from previous owners, mukhang eto ang magiging direction nila.

Every 10K ang PMS Boss. They are using Fully Synthetic oil. When I have the time, I'll put in the breakdown of the cost.

Hi Sir.
Paki-verify naman kung FS oil ang ginamit sa unit mo.
Sa unit namin, mineral oil lang. Pero 10k kms or 3moonths oci pa rin ang sinusunod, yun daw ang advise ng planta.
(i assume mineral oil kasi P250/liter lang. Gulf yung tatak)

What i can say about the China car Stigma is it will never dissapear. Even the Korean Car stigma is still there, even though they are alr already at par with the Japanese in terms of build quality.

I agree, because the source of the stigma is still there.
Quality is very far from Japanese cars.
Our unit is just 1year/5k kms old and now needs to be fixed at the casa for 5 days because of manual transmission issues.
Vibrating rear-view mirror is really annoying.
Replaced all wipers already.
Had several aircon and headlight issues, already fixed by the casa. But still, consumed our time and effort.
Overall owning, driving and maintaining experience is sh!t.
