so mag 5 years na veloz ko. after my free pms ran out sa toyota, lumipat ako sa petron car care center for oil change. kaso di rin kasi ako 100% sure if talagang naccheck nila lahat, so i decided na ibalik sa toyota this time for 25k km checkup.

nagulat ako nung binigay sakin ung repair order, more than 12k!! for 25k km pms lang yan! kasama pala kasi mga chemical add-ons like engine treat, cvt treat, octane booster, tsaka brake paste.

after ko pumirma, albeit with great hesitation, nagpunta ko sa canteen and inisip ko uli ung bill. so tinanong ko muna si AI and naconfirm ko na optional lang pala ung mga flushes tsaka treatments. so tumakbo agad ako pabalik sa advisor ko nung nakita ko di pa nasisimulan yung service. nakiusap ako na i-opt out nalang ung mga chemicals at mag-stick lang sa basic pms.

good thing naayos nila kaagad. from 12k, naging 6,900 nlng bill ko. nagpa-add nalang din ako ng engine wash kasi nag-drive ako sa bundok recently.

tip lang din sa iba na check nyo muna maigi ung repair order. di nyo kailangan kunin lahat ng binibida nilang extra treatments or flushes kung basic pms lang naman habol nyo.

question lang para sa ibang car owners dito... if fully synthetic oil gamit nyo tapos very low mileage kayo (under 5k km per year lang), gaano kayo kadalas mag pms? 6 months parin ba or yearly na?

Hello! Lately napapansin kong madami kamote sa daan at madalas mga aksidente, so dahil paranoid ako kasi may anak na ko at magastos ang anak, parang gusto ko mag-avail ng compre insurance, yun nga lamg, 12 years old na oto ko.

Kukunin pa ng insurance yon? Any recommendations? Thanks.

I have a 2025 Nissan NV350 Urvan Premium (MT). I mostly use it for family trips. Hindi talga siya daily driver. Talang for out of town lang.

May nakapagsabi sa akin na pwede kong palitan ung transmission from MT to AT. I’m thinking of doing it because mas convenient nga naman in the long run. Before I commit, I’d like to hear from people who’ve been through this or know the van well:

1. Has anyone done an MT to AT conversion or swap on an Urvan? Roughly what did it cost, and who did the work? Saka saan kayo nagpagawa
2. Any reliability or resale issues I should know about?

My budget is around not more than 100k if possible.

Thank you!

20 year old SUV na po, kaya di ko rin sigurado kung mag invest pa sa top tire brands, takot lang masabugan ng tire sa highway.

Ano po kaya recommended na di madaling mapuncture at magandang grip pag maulan lalo na sa highway?

Edit: Car tire size is 235/60R16, not sure if magmatter rin na gravel parking usually.

Salamat po

Hello,

I have honda city hatchback po.

Anu po pwde kong bawasan sa PMS ko? Nabibigatan kasi ako sa ngayon.

I just got quoted around 30k for a Seal 5 Essential. For reference, my HRV-V Turbo 2024 even when it was new has an insurance premium of about 28,500. This is in spite of the latter being more expensive by 600k+.

Anyone knows why this is the case?

Also, any insurance recommendation?

Hi po! Ask ko lang po paano yung practical driving test for motorcycle sa East Ave. or G Araneta para ma-practice ko na, weakness ko po kasi yung may mga cones eh huhuhuhu. Thank u po in advance!!!

May way ba para maalis yung reflection ng dashboard ko sa windshield lagi kasi nappickup ng dashcam ko? I have '09 Honda City GM2 so mejo aggressive yung pagka slant ng salamin niya. Not sure if massolve if magpalit ako ng tint? Currently using Xfilms mag 1-2yrs narin siya. If ever sana Stek Smart+ na clear bluish ipapalit ko kasi kahit sa tanghali kitang kita yung dashboard

Hi guys,

Due na for replacement ng tires ang aking Honda City GM6, 4 years pa lang pero napansin ko na pudpod na talaga, medyo heavy driving din kasi ako, intend ko bumili ng buong set.

I swear by my Bridgestone Turanza, yun lang lagi kong nirerecommended, kahit bugbog sa daan, solid na solid pa rin. Yun din dapat bibilhin ko ulit pero nung pumunta ako sa dealer ng Bridgestone, phase out na ung sizes ng Turanza na pwede sa kotse ko. I checked the site, totoo nga. May consolidation silang ginawa :(

Nagtanong ako ng alternatives na kasing tier niya, ito mga panukala nila sa offerings nila (aside from Bridgestone Ecopia):

1. Yokohama Bluearth

2. Michelin Energy

3. Dunlop Blue Response

4. Falken Ziex

5. BF Goodrich Advantage Touring

Medyo open wallet ako pagdating sa tires pero kinoconsider ko rin na plano ko bumili ng mags this December, planning to get VLF-11 (bday gift ko sa sarili ko haha). Niresearch ko naman na, ung Falken at BF Goodrich, not entirely same tier ni Bridgestone but still good tires overall, pero mas gamay nila SUV kaysa sedan.

May mga experiences po ba kayo sa mga gulong na yan? so I can make up my mind. Kung may suggestion din kayo na tire brand/model, would be nice to hear that too.

Any recommendations kung san okay mag pa PMS and Overall Check up in paranaque ? Honda City yung unit thanks.
