Subaru PMS Costs

[Flip]

Strict po ba MI sa pms dues based sa time/months? Only had experience with toyota and mitsu, by KM pag count nila ng dues. oldest car under my care is 5+ years only at 30,000 kms and 4 or 5 PMSs, so sobrang magiging malaki difference ng cost if ever strict. Ask ko na rin how many months po ba ideal service life ng synthetic oil if di nakaka 10,000 kms in 6 months at kung lagi ba sinusunod ng subaru owners yung every 6 months pms lalo na sa warranty period?

In my case, tinawagan ako ng SA after 6 mos. to tell me due na raw yung kotse for 10K km PMS. Since co. car, pinasok ko na lang. Pero nung tinanong ko yung SA kung kailangan talagang sundan yung 6 mos or 10K whichever comes 1st, sabi niya lang, highly recommended. Kung ayaw pa daw ng owner, di naman nila mapipilit.

Btw, I used to own a 1st gen CRV, and Honda used to call me every 6 mos for PMS. Funny part was, every 5K km or 6 mos. whichever comes 1st pa noon since mineral oil pa ang gamit. Pag sinabi kong wala pang 5K km yung tinakbo, di naman nila pinipilit.

^nga naman,di nila tayo mapipilit.haha buti wala namang threat na ma void warranty and i hope wala nga implications on warranty pag lumagpas ng konti say + 4 para sakto 10.sayang din kasi rating ng synthetic oil na 7,000 to 10,000 km + pricey pa tas palit kagad after 6 months kahit 5,000 km pa lang takbo. on second thought na alala ko lang, kahit anong faithful ka sa pagsunod ng mga dues at maintenance pag loko talaga yung dealer (e.g. f*n toyota commonwealth) ay hahanapan or imbentohan ka ng fault para lang ma deny claims mo,sabay mag tatago yung warranty guy at papaharap na lang sayo ay mga ***y chikas na mahirap pagbuntungan ng galit.hayysss anyways thanks sa info sir, consideration din ito sa pagpili ng bibilhin. pangarap ko talaga magka subaru since makita ko 07 forester,mailap pa rin after 5 years and 3 purchases sana next purchase subaru na.

yup MI isn't that strict even if you put aftermarket parts di nila basta basta void warranty mo. when i used to have a forester di din ako umaabot 10k every 6 months so ginagawa ko every 8 months ako nag papa service. di naman nila ako tinatakot na i-void ang warranty ko.

May officemate ako na two years old na ang Forester nya pero di pa umaabot ng 3000 kilometers hehe. Garage queen amp

Ok, good to know. thanks sa info sirs. actually new realization lang ito dahil na din sa mga posts and topics about HARI requiring pms every 3 months. i dont mind paying more for each pms but paying for the pms more frequently is just too much not to care about.

Whew. If the CRV 40K PMS cost about 19K (per Starex Gold) and the Montero 4x2 gas cost 24K (per jodyola13), the 25-30K quote for Subaru is not too bad. Still higher than usual, but not markedly so.

Is this really the norm for A/T cars? I think the highest PMS I ever had to pay for my 8 year old RAV4 SV(M/T) was 14,000 at the 40,000 km mark. Hahaha! That seems so low in comparison. I guess that means that I should brace myself for a fairly high bill for my 80,000 km PMS (and I'm around 3,000kms away).

Just wondering if anyone else had this experience. Motor Image just did the 1,600 km service for my XV. They charged me for
6 liters of Castrol Edge Pro at a cost of 669.64 pesos per liter. I was reading the manual and it mentioned the XV has an oil capacity of 5 liters. So, did Motor Image overcharge me?
