2008 Nissan Sentra 1.3GX

**j3ffry** · January 27th, 2012 11:55 AM

Pero iba naman talaga pagtimpla ng 1.3 engine sa mga ganyang akyatan. Minsan nga kahit sa parking lang sa opis na may super steep angles, umaatras ako pag wala sa ayos bwelo and timpla ng gas and clutch e! :-P

baka nga sa timplahan lang nagkatalo.

salamat guys!

When I had my Sentra GX AT (1.3) in 2004, I was only getting 6-7km per liter. I don't have any problem with the car and always do the PMS in casa (UN Avenue).

Now ask ko lang, musta naman ang fuel consumption ng car na ito now? Im sure kahit nung 2003/2004 pa ang modelong ito... yung mga recent releases baka naman may improvement na....

right now 9-10km/l ako. city driving. sa shell ako nagpapa change oil.

Guys, required bang palitan ang oil natin kahit hindi pa naabot ang 5k na mileage after replacing the previous oil? currently nasa 2k na ung mileage ko after replacing my oil but halos lagpas na ng 6 months eto, mga 6 months and 1 week na, ok lang ba ito or should i replace it na?

If you are using non-premium oil (ie. fully synthetic or something that has longer oil operating life).

The recommended interval is typically every 5K or three months whichever comes first.

Take the words recommended and typically, meaning it is not a law written in a stone.

Read this article: http://autos.aol.com/article/oil-change-intervals/

My take: Changing oil is only about Php 6000 only per year; including changing of oil filter and air filter for most japanese/korean car. It saves you from trouble and ensuring that your engine is A-ok condition. There are so many problems that may lead to non changing of oil which eventually will cost a lot higher. This is just a small price to pay for a well-maintained vehicle, a clean engine, and a little added insurance.

Not to mention that you can get towed in case your engine brakesdown and give you a lot of stress, effort and headaches if you get towed by our not so friendly towers around that their only concern is to hit their quota. Did you know how aggressive our freakin' towers around?!? Duh!

that's not normally supposed to happen. obviously, someone tinkered with it. somebody has to un-tinker it. if you are handy with your hands, you can do it: just bend the arm out of the way. but if you do not feel up to it, any decent mechanic can do it for you.

Oo nga sir eh, hays, question ulit last na talaga, nag pa change oil ako nung friday, tapos siguro mga lagpas 4 liters ung nilagay nung mechanic ng caltex dun sa engine, ok lang ba yun? wala naman chineck ko kasi ung dipstick ba un, lagpas sya un sa H na marker, tapos binasa ko ung manual overfill daw un, ok lang ba ito? or bawasan ko sya?

check the oil level in the morning before starting the engine. car should be on a level surface. kung ilang mm lang ang lampas sa mark, ay puede na sa akin... ilan bang mm ang overfill?

hindi ko po alam ung exact na overfill pero pag nilabas ko ung dipstick nasa "H" mark sya high ata ang ibi sabihin, so far wala naman talagang ibang masamang epekto, ayun lang medyo worried lang ako kasi medyo nabasa ko ung manual, pero same lang sila, so sa tingin nyo sir nothing to worry naman no?
