Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[hinDMaxsiado]

hmmmmm i see thanks a little bit enlighten

We have always been a regular Isuzu customer chief (from the 10-wheeler trucks we buy to the passenger cars we personally use), and one of the main reasons also as to why the better engine is not yet here is "pinapaubos daw ng mga Japon ang over-production ng Ddi-iTEQ engine sa ating mga Pinoy, Malaysians, Vietnamese, Laosians, Indonesians AT matigas daw ulo ng mga Japon natin sa Isuzu Phils. na hanggang ngaun ayaw ibigay ang iTEQ VGS engine."

Yan ay sabi ng iilang taga-IPC....

It's mute and academic, if IPC wants to offer this VGT-engine just like any of its competitors here had done already and continue to do so, the company can do it as well ---- the engine is like just any other mechanical thing.... Besides, if all the other Japanese companies, or say, as an example, the Korean Hyundai and Kia could bring here in the Philippines the Euro-4 adaptable 2.2-litre CRDi-electronic VGT Santa Fe and Sorento, i don't see any reason why a reputable Jap-company like Isuzu can't

Simple as that chief hehe....

Aside from the MB marque, I have been a follower of ISUZU. (trying to sound not too obvious)... and like most of you, I have also wished that ISUZU in the Philippines would step up and give it's rivals a run for their money.

Having said that, I sure wish this "Super Commonrail" engine would be made available here.... (not to mention the smaller brother of the 4JX1-TC and 4JJ1-TC engines the 2.5L 4JK1-TC) I guess time will only tell.

On the side note, it sure is a welcome someone technically knowledgeable like you to be present in forums like this and help those who need guidance in knwoing more their ISUZUs.

Chief, just a brief suggestion po:

1. Read the checklist tick box in your DMax preventive maintenance booklet and see what's in there for the 40,000 km odo-reading so you get the idea; and

2. Go to your nearest Isuzu service dealer or centre for the conduct of the maintenance.


As far as the oil is concerned, say engine oil, ask your Isuzu dealer if they have any of these fully-synthetic ones like the Motul Specific CRDi 5W-40, Mobil Delvac 5W-40, and/or Torco SD-5 15W-40; these are the oils i'm getting from my nearest Isuzu service centre.
....Else, if your dealer/ service centre does not carry any of these fully-synths, your best bet would be the factory-recommended semi-synth Isuzu Besco 10W-30 oil.

Request from your local Isuzu centre to thoroughly perform the checkup, preventive maintenance, and repairs if any, granting your DMax had been stored for months.

Goodluck!

Sinabi mo pa chief haha!

Knowing Isuzu Phils.... ahihi ahoho....

[Ry_Tower]

Real reason why? Coz the "Super Commonrail" aka VGS engine is Euro 4. Bring it here and it'll be spending more time sa CASA than you using it.

IMO, baka they are playing it safe because of what they learned from their experience with 4jx1 Trooper.
