2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

If its an A/T, it has a much higher consumption of brake-pads compared to M/T (thats the fact.). Because once your in 'D'rive on full stop, your foot is always on the brake pedal if your not using your e-brake. But it will still differ from your driving style and conditions.
Just avoid a sudden stop to save the lifespan of your brake-pads and to save some petrol as well.. hehe

salamat bro

petrol is a good thing here in the middle east, napakamura kasi tanong ko na rin, I am using Super and it lasted 4-5 days full tank. Can it be considered economical? considering 11-15km per day lang ung tinatakbo ng auto. How can we tell din kung ang gas meter ba is accurate? ung sa akin kasi is pag tumapat na sa quarter pinalalagyan ko na ulit till full tank. any suggestions? i heard kasi na naglalatak daw ung tirang gas?

AFAIK break in is not about the speed its the rpm just don't go beyond 2500 rpm...you can run more than 100km/hr with that in 6th gear

thanks bro. hindi ba napakababa ng 2500rpm?

[Starex_Gold]

For a Gas engine, Don't go beyond 4000RPM.

Pero sabi nung isang taga Chevy Pasig (Forgot his username) pwede na mag pedal-to-metal / full throttle ang Cruze paglabas sa Casa.

Sa break-in period, wag niyo muna pansinin ang FC, ang importante ma-break in ng maayos.

But for the O.C owner, you can have your cruze scheduled for change-oil after 1000km (just to make sure) to have some of the engine/gear metal debris flush-down..

Correct ka dyan sir!

thanks bro does it mean kung ipapacheck ko na * first 1000km ung auto ok na rin na next checkup will be 10,000km? or kung ipapacheck ko *first 5000km disregard ko na ung first 1000km?

[Starex_Gold]

kapag nag change oil ka sa 1000kms, balik ka nalang sa 5000kms for check up. Then sa 10000 na ang next change oil.

I may be wrong though. Pero ganyan yung sa Hyundai

[tougefox]

i take your advice tougefox. my odm 5k+, want to have it service pero sabi ng SA after 10k pa. wat you guys think. meron nabang nag 18in na rim, kamusta ang performance any changes.

esmic, asa 5k na din sa akin, and still hindi ko pa pinapachange oil, wait ko na lang yung 10k service..

pero may occasional hataw na din ako.. haha up to 6krpm.. tapos heel and toe pa hahaha

[marlboro2010]

wow. Congrats to your new cruze sir.. if ever you can post some pics of your cruze here on our forum..

will do Sir once I have it.

[marlboro2010]

kasabihan lang yun bro, me iba wag kang lalagpas ng 80,90 etc....

nasabi ko na proper break-in sa itaas...

sa pagpreno, wag din biglaan(pwera na lang kung kailangan talaga)...

kumbaga, yung paa mo,para lang humahaplos sa dalaga....

para yung brake pads ay maganda ang pagkafit nya sa discs...

sa ganitong paraan, mas tatagal ang brake pads mo...

hahaha parang ala-maria clara pala dapat ang treatment! magseselos na naman nito si esmi

[desert fox]

All I know is that the Cruze had factory break-in before it has been mounted on the car. Thats for most of the new cars. So you have nothing to worry about (puwede ng ihataw). That's why they have their 1st service after 10,000km or 6mo.

But for the O.C owner, you can have your cruze scheduled for change-oil after 1000km (just to make sure) to have some of the engine/gear metal debris flush-down..

Halos lahat naman ng mga bagong cars, me factory break ins na....

pero, mas mabuti pa din sa owners na maging mas maingat at sundin pa din ang recommended break in period ng 1K.

thanks bro

what is the usual lifespan of breakpads bro? mine is A/T and tanong ko lang bro what is the recommended manner sa paggamit ng brake lalo na kung nakastop ka sa traffic light. Usually kasi i find it very comfortable na "d" mode pa rin ako pero naka-apak sa brake. Minsan lang ako gumagamit ng handbreak and "n" mode kung medyo matagal pa bago ang green light.

By being in a "d" mode and pressing brake instead of using "n" and handbreak (for safety precautions in case the roadllevel is uneven) on full stop traffic, am I shortening the lifespan of my brakepads?

Depende sa driver ang lifespan ng brake pads....

sa traffic, kapag red ang stop light, better sa N ka.release your foot on the brake pedal...(pull the hand brake lever para makarelax mga paa mo kung gusto mo...) at the same time, di stress ang tranny mo, kasi kapag naka-D ka, engage ang clutch nya....so, makatulong din ito para mapahaba din ang lifespan ng Tranny.....

sa huli mong tanong, kapag uneven ang road, better sa N ka pa din then push the brake pedal.....or pull the handbrake....kaya D meaning Drive....e idle lang naman, kaya N ang the best...

walang kaso sa brake pads yun....
