Gud day mga sir. May question lang ako tungkol sa pagchange oil. Gusto ko sana ako yung magchangeoil sa apv ko. Tanong ko lang kung okey lang ba na gamitin ko na oil ay FS kaysa Mineral, kasi Mineral yung nakalagay sa kaya nung pagkabili ko at hanggang ngayon na 20k++ na siya. Okey lang ba yun? At anong recommended ninyo na brand ng oil at oil filter na rin? Tnx

Hello WeakSpot,

There are some benefits in the FS oil, but if that can be translated into mileage, fuel savings, may not be noticeable. You could go for the semi-synthetics, slightly expensive than mineral oil, but still affordable.

Since I do my PMS with Speedyfix, I use their Royal Purple oils. As for the oil filter, stay with the the stock. The 'Zuki filter cost less than 500 anyway.

Hello APVBoy, enjoy your new ride, Panindigan mo yang alias mo

Hi Straker,

Yah, walang atrasan!

Brought it to Suzuki Cebu today. Ang mahal ng brake pads, Php 7,500 front only. although I got 10% off, mahal pa rin. My past experience with my older car was only 1k for the pair na bendix. According to the service guy, iba daw and pads pag may ABS. and recommended to use genuine pads to preserve the rotor.

They also recommended to change the shock-mount bushings. dun pala galing ung ingay pag rough ung surface.

when they opened the valve cover to replace the gasket, sobrang dumi! di raw nag papa-change oil ung last owner kaya ganon. So....flushing.

Anyway, I'm glad i brought it to the casa. Madugo, pero sigurado.

I'll get it tomorrow afternoon.

I recently replaced my brake pads to bendix, both front and rear. My first misgiving with bendix was it scratched the rotor. Other than that, still okay

[apvboy]

I think i spoke too soon.

after the flushing was done and the car was cleaned labas na ko. after a kilometer biglang nag white smoke siya. A LOT of white smoke! went back to the casa (6:00 PM) and had it checked by the service guy. sabi nya really need to take out the cylinder head and clean it. (top overhaul ang term nya).

So frustrated coz i spent 16k today and now iba ang sira.

he tried to rev it and the smoke went away, but when we ran again, balik ulit. SO....balik ulit sa casa on Monday.

would Suzuki treat is backjob since di naman sya ganon when i brought it in?

ApvBoy,

Ano mileage ng ride mo? That didn't happen to me. Parang pinabayaan ng dating owner.

I just left my ride at Suzuki-Shaw. Strange wirring sounds, similar to the problem I had with the automatic transmission two years ago. Sana di malaki repair bill ko.
