Hi mga boss! Ask ko lang, how's the maintenance of altis? Sabi ng friend ko every 5k daw maintenance? Haha

Yup, every 5k. But if you use fully synthetic oil, you only need to change oil every 10k. So mura lang 5k maintenance.

Magkano pag FSO sir? And mahal ba yung every 5k? :/

**jut703** · September 22nd, 2015 12:47 PM

I paid 494 pesos for my 5k maintenance. 3k for my 10k maintenance (no oil though, so siguro mga 5k with FS oil).

The reason being (CMIIW) is that a newly painted panel needs time to fully cure and waxing it seals the finish, not allowing the paint to "breathe".

How often do i need to wax my car? is it safe to do this once a week?

Overkill yata.

Wash once per week, wax maybe once every 3 weeks or every month.

Wax kapag napapansin mo once hindi na nagbbead masyado yung water droplets sa paint.

Guys, just to share, was surprised to discover kaninang morning na naubos na yung battery ni altis. Maghahatid pa naman ako ng bata sa school grabe talaga.

It's been only a year and two months since I acquired my unit and yet the life of the stock battery was quite questionable. Cant remember leaving some electricals while the car is not running and I'm using it on a daily basis. Haaay unexpected gastos since out of warranty na rin yung battery.

Medyo unknown yung brand nung stock battery kaya siguro hindi maganda quality. It's not a motolite like what our vios used to have nung binili namin. I know may other good brands out there but just opted for motolite kasi yun ang malapit samin. Quite pricey though. Be watchful nalang mga ka-altis.

Do you use a car phone charger sir Lyle? Nangyari narin saken yan. Di ko inuunplug yung charger.

if your car is MT, you could have push-started it siguro, po.
but did you know really, how old that battery is/was?

i have an AT in the garage. and i bought a charger, for cases like this..
