What's oci?

my guess was "oil change interval" ????????

[telong75]

bro, any innova owner who wears 17x7 mags? i plan to put on 225/55/17 tires, will it rub against the front fenders? thanks

am using 235/55, no rub issue whatsoever.
btw the offsets are plus45 and they re size 18

i've been using mineral oil for almost 5 years na with no issues. as long as you use the recommended oil then it should be ok. but if you have money to burn then go with fully synthetic.

oh okay, thanks sir. just wanted to confirm that using just an ordinary mineral oil is okay and will not do harm to your D4-D engine.

Frequent oci with mineral is better than expensive fully syn with prolonged oci

will take note of that sir.

yep Oil Change Interval - apologies for the confusion.

BTW, for the record, I had been using Delo Multigrade 10w40 in my previously sold lancer glx 2000 (first owned). I didn't have any issues with the engine. Just frequent OCI. Yes it's a diesel engine, but fleet oil so good for both gas and diesel. A gallon back then costs roughly 750, Vic oil filter roughtly 150, drain plug gasket 25 - DIY oil change so that's less than 1k. also, it's also worth mentioning that my cylinder head when sold was really clean - no varnish deposits (still the color of aluminum). lucky owner he got a 90k mileage car that 11 years old with virgin engine and a very clean engine.

guys, help naman po. everytime i lock the car with remote, di na gumagana ang central lock. natunog lang yung alarm but the central locks are not locking. in short, bukas pa yung car. ok naman ang central lock kung susi ang gamitin ko. i think nawala sa programming yung remote o kung ano mang dahilan. this is irritating me. Anybody here who has knowledge on how to reprogram the remote? Kindly give instructions po. Thunder yata ang brand ng alarm system ng toyota. I got this free from toyota by the way. Walang kwenta.

We have the same case. Pag nilock ko yung car using the remote, mag on lang yung alarm pero open pa rin doors. So i manually lock it. Pero 70% of the time naman gumagana. Di ko lam ano ang problem pag ganon, yung remote ba or yung mechanism. Wala pa ko time ipaayos eh. Tiis na lang muna, na icheck mabuti if na lock.

if you can accumulate 10K kms in 6 months go with fully synthetic. i tried using fully synthetic before but it takes almost 1 year before i reach 10K kms so i returned back to mineral oil.

yearly lang ako mag change oil, mineral oil lang gamit ko. but i only reach 5000km in a year. OK lang ba yun?

We still have 13 year old Lancer itlog on mineral oil every 5k kms and yes the cylinder head is aluminum clean. No oil sludge, no visible oil filming.

Go mineral oil!!! you can never go wrong
