How long will the validity of the certificate last ? Up to 2500rpm lang talaga ang patakbo even for diesel engines ? Kasi when my Hilux got flagged down here in Makati parang ri-neredline nila para bumagsak talaga. That was last year. So 2500rpm is really part of the guidelines for testing ?

Got my car tested last saturday and passed.

92 lancer gti
CO reading 2.73% passing is 4.5% for car model < 1997
HC reading 278 passing is 800

Noticed their price:
1st test = 300 php
2nd test = 100 php (pag di ka pumasa sa 1st test)
3rd test = 300 php (pag bumagsak ka pa rin sa 2nd test)

Certificate expires after 2 months

Among our cars tested for emission, the Lynx, that's relatively new, hovers around the borderline passing mark.

To give you an idea how lynx fared compared to the others, here's the list from bad to good. None failed btw, but it's unerving to go to the emission test center unsure if the car will pass the test heh-he.

1. 01 Lynx Ghia
2. 95 Nissan Sentra SS
3. 92 Mits Lancer Gti
4. 96 Honda Civic VTi
5. 03 Honda Civic VTi-S
6. 04 Toyota Altis VVT-i

Surprisingly, this more or less is the order in which the cars performed in terms of fuel efficiency! (Lancer fared worst in fuel consumption as this is a heavy car with just 1.5L engine)

How about your rides peeps?
