Which item?

So which engine oil are you going to replace with the current one running in your car..

haseeb.basharat 2017-03-02 01:11:31 +0500 #263

Only Taglon. All of us are using same and engines are running smoothly and economically.

autophile (autophile) 2017-03-02 10:09:40 +0500 #264

I will go for Petron Plus 10W-30 . I drive like 2600 kms in four months and Toyota says change oil after every three months, no matter how less kms done, so Taglong will be a waste of money for me.

When my daily/monthly run will increase, then I will pour Taglong

gitts070 (gitts070) 2017-03-02 17:17:34 +0500 #265

That's more like it, am doing the same.. my car completed almost 2200 km in seven months, so its literally useless to put taglong.
before taglon we were using 10w-30 or 5w-30. Nothing ever happened to our cars engines.
If I ever switch to any other oil besides "petron plus 10w-30" then it would be "liqui moly".
anyways am not here to argue with taglon fans, everybody has their own choice and satisfaction.

Thanks, IA will think of upgrade to grande with new model/facelift. 1.6 has enough power already, its a balanced car. however i missed retract mirror a lot, because it is very hard to open the side mirror sitting inside the car due to width, may be I'll get them installed.

I am constantly getting around 9.5-9.8 km/liters in karachi traffic with AC (Altis 1.6) odo is 8200 kms, this is calculated from fuel top up method, meter still shows 10.1-10.2km/l

sir they said 6 months to me. not 3 months.

Oil condition after four months and 2655 kms
This is oil which came from factory.

gitts070 (gitts070) 2017-03-03 13:23:42 +0500 #269

Sir jee it's six months not three months, I have used petron plus 10w 30 for eight months and oil was ferfectly fine.. did 2200 kilometres only..
In my previous Gli I used to change oil after a year or so.. kept it for eight years, did 40,000 kilometres.. engine was as good as brand new..
New owner has done 80,000 and he's very happy..
At least in my experience time doesn't matter that much, obviously it's not like you keep on stretching it up to a year or so.. but I think it's okay to use it for 6-8 months..

Today I replaced factory poured oil with Taglon 5-50 at 2,690 kms on odo.

I took my own oil filter and asked 3S to just do oil change and no tunning or 5,000 kms inspection to fleece me.

Just paid 3800 rs for oil and 200 rs labour for oil change, front suspension check, battery water check and top up and air and cabin filters cleaning.

They stamped the warranty book.

After change to Taglon, car has become really naughty. Lot more quicker than before and reaches 140 in no time. Did some crazy runs on empty roads after oil change.

Bought this from AutoX

Post your review after using it.
Used F1 rain repellent and it does nothing expecting to see how this performs.

Waterless Wash

Waterless wash. Car was driven in rain and had mud spots which are not much visible in video. But it was damn too dirty and at first I thought it definitely needed a proper wash, but that would have been a tiring and time consuming exercise so gave a shot to waterless wash and it worked really great.

Sir any special reason why Taglon ? As you were using petron plus in Altis 1.6

autophile (autophile) 2017-03-05 00:42:07 +0500 #275

No specific reason. Taglon was launched later and since I was satisfied with Petron Plus I continued with that in 1.6

Many friends who used Taglon gave good feedback and the price difference is not so much so wanted to try it and it is fully synthetic also.

haseeb.basharat 2017-03-05 06:42:47 +0500 #276

I used petron plus for first 10,000kms and using taglon now in my 1.8 cvt now. I found that taglon is much better for corolla. No matter what people says about it. Its one of the best oil ever by Toyota
Less engine noises
Better startup
Better fuel economy
Better protection due to fully synthetic

Late to the party. But a belated yet sincere congratulations. May Allah SWT bless you and your family with all the joy and safety through this car. Wise choice this time.

Bro you got reg from isb now smart card is provided , so you got only smart card nothing else? If car is sold new smart card will be provided to new owner?

autophile (autophile) 2017-03-05 14:36:02 +0500 #279

Thank you Fouad bhai. Really nice to hear from you. Stay blessed.

autophile (autophile) 2017-03-05 14:38:16 +0500 #280

Yes they provided only smart card. I think they will keep this smart if car is transferred to other purchaser.
