Strada PMS thread [ARCHIVED]

----for the 2.5 engines---
Sa Diamond - 8 liters ang naka charge sa akin, kaya sobra sobra sa high level marker ang oil. Ano kaya a rationale nila dito, dagdag kita? Masama rin ba ito sa makina? Kung masama, pasabihan ko ang SA ko sa Diamond-QAve to limit to 7 liters sana pumayag.. Napansin ko sa Union and Citimotors, Alabang..

Bro share ko lang, sa citimotors-makati 7 liters lang yung ginamit nila saken nung change oil ko. Try to ask your casa why they charged you for 8 liters for 2.5 engine.

regarding lang dun sa casa charging an extra liter of oil...


kunin nyo nalang yung extra 1 liter kahit na 7 liter lang yung nailagay...

and then ang gawin nyo the following morning check nyo yung dipstick theres a big possibility na slightly below yan the line...so yung purpose nung 1 liter is to fill that gap.... pero wag nyo lalagay yung buong 1 liter ah tantyahin nyo lang yung saktong amount para mafill yung kulang...

in my case, always 1/4 liter yung naiilalagay ko the following morning after the day of the PMS...

so always make it a habit to get the extra amount of engine oil kung nakita nyo na hindi nailagay ng buo yung 8 liters...

pag inisisa mo lahat ng invoices ng naka post dito (since the part1) under Diamond, 8 liters ang na comsume nila per invoice hindi ko alam kung ano ang rationale ng Diamond dito, the thing is ganamit naman nila kasi sobra sobra sa oil stick marker ang oil.. I will ask my SA at Diamond QAve sa 5K PM ko..

Thanks - I will ask my SA if this can be worked out with them to charge 7liters and give the 1 liter to me...

Naalala ko nga pala, ano ang solution sa wiper natin, ang lakas "manginig" pag ginagamit, maulan kasi lately dito sa Bataan..... may warranty ba ito or adjustments needed para masabihan ko ang SA when I visit them for my 5k PMS.

TIA

Hi guys, long time no post.

Just wanted to share. December 29, drove down home from baguio and loaded regular diesel at Petron (at the foot where you have that cluster of gas stations). Going up, i loaded half a tank of their new Turbo diesel and was quite happy with the performance.

After refueling and making a short bathroom stop to the Shell station across, I started to head back to Manila.

I was still able to manage to overtake a slower vehicle a few minutes after having left the station when I suddenly lost power and the gauges started to light up. It was a good thing that I was still able to park.

To cut a long story short, I made repeated attempts at starting the strada in several minute intervals. Simultaneously I was making calls to a towing company, a friend in tarlac, and a couple of mitsu dealerships in pangasinan.

Luckily, after 1.5 hours, the pickup started like nothing happened.

Some say it could've been bad quality diesel but i doubt it. Those stations have been there for sometime and are pretty active. I was thinking condensation and maybe water formed somewhere when the gas cap was opened? It was quite cold when I got down from baguio and maybe the spike in temp may have caused it?

Very strange. Any ideas? My pickup is working fine.

Also, parang naghang ata yung remote ko kahapon. The orange dot is perpetually lighting up and the lock/unlock wont work.

i hate the winterpine alarm system on our pickup trucks. too complicated.

Check mo lang wiper mo sir, baka merong lumuwang...

sir, palpak talaga yang winterpine..ako nagsawa na kakabalik sa kanila ng alarm system. minsan gagana, minsan hinde.

dun sa nangyari sa iyo sir, mukhang naghang then nagreboot yung computer box mo. glad to hear safe kayo nung nangyari yan...
to make sure sir, pa check nyo agad yan para mapalitan ang dapat palitan.

[av8or5]

Skippy. Sir did i read it right. Ayaw mag start yung strada mo? Then suddenly nag start.

Feeling ko sir na ground lang. That affected the cpu and alarm. But have them check sa casa. Agree ako that mmas alarm is not the best.

[ianmitsulancer]

Yes, sir Skippy, pls have your strada checked as early as possible...

where do u stay in Baguio? we can meet if you have time. Baguio resident here!
