Hey guys, when I get back in Manila I plan to have my car's tint changed. The cars of my relative here in the province all has superblack tint all around, and when we drove it at night, while raining okay naman.

Planning to have mediums all around, or superblacks at the rear then mediums up front. Ano kaya magandang tint, NOT REFLECTIVE please. Budget around 5k. Lesser is better. Brands in mind are 3M CS, Solargard (what model?) & Llumar (what model again?)

Ano kaya pinaka-okay? Kasi yung starex dito since naka-superblack bilis lumamig ng a/c kahit babad sa init.

Thanks.

Was one of the students who got stranded inside UST kagabi. Muntik na ko malubog! Sobrang bilis tumaas ng baha, buti na lang nai-akyat sa mataas na lugar.

Anyway, nakapag-change oil na ko using the Caltex DGU 15w40 and Baldwin oil filter. Yung 5 bars ko bumaba noong 55.7kms na. Will observe my 4th bar.

chiks, bumababa ba yung FC mo? try mo din magpalit ng gas station. baka may kinalaman sa gas station.

kamusta naman yung baldwin + Delo Gold ultra?

Okay naman sir. Recently cleaned my MAF sensor and I think gumanda na FC ko. 6th to 5th bar ran 60.7kms. 5th to 4th ran 62.6kms. Kaso weird ng 4th to 3rd, 42.6kms lang. Although yung last, full pax ako plus light load on the trunk and half aircon thermostat plus Makati traffic. The first two, ako lang mag-isa sometimes may 1 sakay plus light load sa trunk. Mixed driving.

Bumalik na rin sya sa dati nyang hatak. Laking bagay ng MAF sensor lalo na't naka K&N drop in ako, oiled filter so mas mabilis kakapit yung dumi sa MAF dahil mababahiran ng oil ng air filter. That's based on what I've read haha. Pero I think it's safe to say na kada at least 25000 kms. bago linisin ang MAF.

Nagbackread ako, mukhang hindi po pala pwede pa yung baldwin filter para sa akin kapag under warranty pa.

[ronjet]

*sir johnM. Wow! Nakita ko yung ginawa niyo sa AUX ng vios! Galing.

[ronjet]

Huwaw! Ganda na ng specs. Pati J ah!

Mga sir, pafollow up lang ulit yung question ko kung magfit ba yung rain visor ng galing sa 2011 vios sa 2012?

[i'm CARLOver]

Can the vios do this?

Kung solargard, tignan mo yng mga specs dito http://www.solargard.ph/Auto/Performance
Yung quantum yung reflective nila pero sya yata pinakamataas na heat block. Ultra Performance yata yung may pinakamataas ng heat block next to quantum, pero malinaw pa rin.

Pano ba malalaman ang brand at model ng stock bulb ng vios? Ang linaw eh, pinalit ko sya sa napunding stock bulb ng city 09 eh mas malinaw sya sa stock ng city.

Hello sirs,

New owner lang ako ng second hand Vios 1.5G and first time ko mag-auto. Tanong ko lang sirs,

1. Yung paglagay ba ng tubig sa radiator, diretso mismo sa radiator o papadaanin ko dun sa coolant reservoir? Owner type jeep lang kasi ang gamit dito sa bahay dati na pag-nagpa-gas kami pinapalagyan ng tubig yung radiator. Also ano magandang coolant para sa Vios?

2. Regarding sa engine oil, ano ba ok? gusto ko sana Toyota Oil din kasi casa mantained yung oto nung nakuha namin.

3. Gusto ko sana magapalit ng rear tires. Ano ok na pamalit? I'm using nga pala yung stock mags ng Vios. 15 ba ang size nun?

Thanks in advance sirs.

1. Add coolant thru the reservoir (engine cold), take note that there is a marker for coolant level on the side.

2. Toyota Oil is ok, from mineral to sythetic grades. It is being used by Toyota service centers, and they do not encourage bringing your own oil (my experience with Bel Air). But you can ask them beforehand just to be sure.

3. Buy the best tyres your budget can afford. What we say in here is purely subjective in nature, to many pros, cons, etc. Bottomline, you'll be the one paying for those tyres. Get the branded ones, and be sure they have warranty from the seller.

thank you very much sir.

How about yung tubig sa radiator sir? saan ko sya ilalagay? straight na ba dun sa radiator?

And what's the common brand/type ng coolant na ginagamit ng mga Vios owners dito sa forum? and also engine oil?
Ganun na lang din ang gagamitin ko.

Thanks!

You still add it into the reservoir tank. I don't really know what brands they use, our Vios is serviced by Toyota Bel Air, so the fluids are all Toyota.

[ronjet]

Wah! Lintek! Pati coolant dami ng bawal...

Sir liempoboi, since nung bago yung vios niyo, puro pure coolant lang ang nilalagay niyo sa reservoir po?

[LiempoBoi]

*ronjet yes sir. Wala pa 1year old Vios ko pero napansin ko lang dati na medyo bumaba yung coolant yung tipong medyo malapit sa low or 1/2 (hindi ako sure kasi nakalimutan ko na). Nilagyan ko lang ng coolant na galing sa Petron.

Medyo gulat nga ako eh. Sa Corolla ko kasi 50/50 Water at Coolant.

EDIT: yan yung sabi sa akin ng SA ko sir ah. Sinunod ko nalang muna.

[ronjet]

Yun nga po Sir liempoboi, dati alam ko 50-50 nga dapat. Pero sinabi naman ng SA niyo, so baka naman may alam talaga siya sa vios. Sana may makapagconfirm din dito sa thread natin. Thanks sir.

Bkit pala phase out na E variant ng vios?
