Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued]

[Ginnova]

Reached my first 1km so am scheduled for my first PM this sat. What do they do for the first km check? I was told they need to do oil change na agad? Gusto ko sana fully synthetic - quoted me around 4.9K for it.

sayang kung fully synthetic. sa 5km change oil ulit. regular oil will do. bili mo na lang ng accessories yung matipid mo.

10K na ulit next oil change kung gumamit ka fully synthetic sa 1K PMS, pero balik ka pa rin sa 5K para sa ibang checks, sayang naman kasi ang free labor. Mas nakatipid ka pa ng oil filter expense sa 5K check dahil walang oil change compared kung mineral oil na required to change every 5K.

I agree with them, mineral oil na lang muna sa 5k PMS


In my case, I choose semi synthetic oil for 1k & 5K PMS kasi tantya ko aabutin ako ng more than 6 months baka maabot yun next 5k PMS. Sa Toyota Makati ay P3.4k binayaran ko with free labor.

Hi to all,

Question naman ano mainam na GAS gamitin SHELL,CALTEX,PETRON malapit ko ng makuha unit ko. Ano mas preffered gamitin?

Thanks in advance.

that depends to you, whichever you see as the most compatible for you.....
try to compare those Big 3 Fuel Companies on km/L
* do not forget to reset to zero (0) your Trip A or B & get the no. of liters for proper computation

on all of my automobile, I just use Caltex, as these is the Fuel company that offers a fuel additive called Techron; that cleans your engine as you run (Caltex marketing; hhmmm may be, but I like the performance)
I have a d4d Innova, but I still use Caltex Diesel with Techron.....

Mga sirs,
Pila ba talaga pagkuha ng Innova?
My agent told me that it's very hard to get a unit...especially bank PO/cash transaction.
Care to share how long waiting time nyo when you got your unit? (kung ok lang naman po..)

Model -----days or weeks unit released after paying the DP/PO/cash/in house

Probably, kasi taking a look unto this site pa lang, medyo madami ang may gusto kumuha nang Innova
as soon as you give your DP; pwede mo naman siguro sila tanungin as to when is the soonest that you can get your vehicle..... try to compare from one dealer to the other dealer whoever would give you the best offer & whoever can release the vehicle & variant you want at the soonest time....
As to what was highlighted: what is the reason, daw? siguro prioritize nila ang cash buyer & in-house; ganun ba! Marketing Strategy lang nila yan.....
medyo mataas kasi ang APR nang in-house financing; go for Car Loans in a reknowned bank/financial institution.....

Thanks for the responses. Other than change oil, meron pa ba sila iba ginagawa? Still trying to decide whether regular oil or synthetic papalagay ko. Sabi nga nila if fully synthetic, your next oil change will be after 10km na. Medyo mahal nga lang.

ordinary oil costs ~ P140/liter. fully synthetic ~ P550/liter. multiply by 6 liters. do the math kung ano mas mura. by the way, you wont save sa oil filter because they will change it every 5K regardless if you use mineral or synthetic and you will need additional 1 liter kapag palitan nila ng oil filter kasi mababawasan/matatapon yung oil sa pagpalit ng filter.

Di ko naman naramdaman na nahirapan ako sa pagkuha ng gusto kong unit. They mentioned that a unit was available then to reserve I had to pay 5k. After paying, I think around a week or less I got my unit na

Sir Ginnova, what other benefits do we get from using fully synthetic rather than ordinary? Aside from having to change it after 5km more, meron bang disadvantage sa innova natin pag ordinary? Just want to take care of my baby

just to share: I think it is better to change the oil filter, every changing of engine oil, to remove the residue from the previous oil
changing of oil filter will also somewhat gives you ease in a way that youd know that the bloodline (engine oil) is clean as it is properly filtered
napansin ko lang din kasi on my other cars, if I dont change the filter, ang bilis umitim ng langis ko kaya mula nun change oil + change filter na ako on every 5k kms (whether it is Mineral or Fully Synthetic)
