  1. @The Don - you're such a value adder to these discussion forums, thanks for saving my day
  2. Thank you very much #crosswind and #invisibleuser for your replies. Does the Toyota ATF come in multiple forms like the engine oil which has 0W, 10W - 30, 5W-40 etc? Please let me know
  3. Can someone with much more experience and knowledge advice me on this please? Thank you in advance
  4. Dear all, I tried hard to figure out a post related to this, but couldn't. Could anyone of you please recommend a brand of a type of transmission oil for a Toyota Vios, plus please be kind enough to specify the volume of oil needed as well. Thanks in advance.
  5. @terrabytetango - thank you for sharing your experience, I checked a second time around and this time it was 11.43 km/l, and I guess though one says city limits it depends on the suburb...I mean everybody knows about the traffic levels in the Parliament Road...
  6. You're welcome Shanjeev I guess that is exactly the objective of the forum, to share what you know, and to learn from those who're experts
  7. @Jayashantha, I'm no pro with vehicles, but I feel, on certain things, I've got a bit of common sense Service stations and all those recognized repairing places, always do this. If you look at the VIOS car manual, it says a service in every 10,000km would suffice. But with dusty conditions here, I guess as the experts have pointed above, a service and oil change in every 5,000km is more than enough. Those stations, just reduce the service and oil filter replacement intervals just to make money. Do not get caught to those (unless you're paid by someone for those replacements and services ). I've seen some people saying that certain places recommend doing wheel-alignments for every 10,000km, which is absurd. So this is a carbon copy of that kind of a practice. I personally feel you could use Toyota Engilne oil and oil filters, which is slightly expensive than Mobil, but the Toyota filter can run for 10,000km before the replacement (VIC too is good, but not sure how often you need to replace). Hope I've shared something useful
  8. Thank you very much for sharing your views. Take a bow guys!!! @udayap - special thanks to you for sharing your views and experience about the Vios. I've been driving the car for the last one month. When driven carefully it did 12.56km/l inside city limits (Union Place, Vaxuall Street, Nawala, Bamba). It certainly is a fuel efficient vehicle. About your tips, everything looks fine, except that the replacement of the airfilter in 20,000km. I thought you could inspect it in every service (as I did with my previous Swift) and could go for a replacement after 40,000km. Correct me if I'm wrong. And if I may ask you, do you get a specific "Oil Filter number" associated with the recommended one, along with the brand, Toyota? Thank you once again to all those who contributed to my post. Cheers!!!
  9. I tried out searching through the exisitng posts, couldn't find an appropriate answer. Could someone from the community please help us out.
  10. Dear all, This may sound a bit stupid, but I guess this forum exists in clarifying even the ground level facts which we should clear out. My Toyota Vios car manual says, the service interval has to be once in every 10,000km, where the engine oil and the oil filter will have to be replaced too. However, the general belief among ourselves is that a service at every 5,000km is needed. Could anyone from the community clarify me this? Thanks in advance.
  11. Thank you for your valuable feedback.. @jdnet - if I knew how to do it on my own, I won't be wasting my time and the forum space to put it here.
  12. Thank you, do you know any other place other than those in Darley Road and Panchikawatte?
  13. Hi all, Could anyone of you please advise on any party who does vehicle badge riveting with good quality at a reasonable rate? I checked with "Sunlanka" (who used to do this those days), but they said they're not doing it now, the reason being they said there stands a risk of the badges being damaged. I'm seeking your advise, and would be pleased to hear your suggestions. Thank you.
