Zero point Zero One in 2
This Honda Civic hasn't changed oil for 2 straight years.
Zero point Zero One ppm of Carbon Monoxide is not ZERO but it's the closest one can get.
You might ask how the car is being driven.
Firstly, it is still relatively a newer car than most GTO subject cars we feature. Therefore, an early protection is always an advantage in favor of the owner.
This car definitely is saving close to 141 trees yearly for 2 straight years now. But what about the bottom line? If there are no power slips like worn out clutch or faulty automatic transmission... and if the driver is not a clutch driver which is pretty rare outside the city, this car is definitely making fuel economy gains of about 25% or more.
Will update this post as data comes.

SUCCESS is the word to describe best the just-concluded Philippine International Motor Show (Pims). Cheers to the PIMS officers led by Rommel Gutierrez, the president of the organizing Campi (Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc.).
It was a success because almost every major player in the automotive industry cooperated.
Had there been just one missing link in the event, it might have meant a major blow, one kink that could have jeopardized the integrity of the whole affair.
We all know that in unity, there is strength; that in strength, achievement becomes a given.
It is worth noting that every Pims participant had endeavored to present its best, to unveil new ideas and practically boasts of models that are meant to outwit, if not overshadow, the opposition.
As Michinobu “The Rocker” Sugata, the president of Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), said during the Pims opening: “Today we have shown you a glimpse of Toyota’s new direction. Ladies and gentlemen, this is only the beginning. We at Toyota are proud to bring you even more exciting vehicles in the future.”
In joining the fourth edition of the country’s biggest automotive show, the TMP played it really big, allotting a huge 380-sq-m area for its distinguished array of cars.
The lineup included the new 86 TRD, all-new Camry, Innova and Fortuner TRD, not to mention that the TMP also launched the 86 Aero variant and the limited-edition Vios TRD.
In “unearthing a legend” in the 86 Aero Variant, Sugata-san said Toyota’s goal was to create a unique rear-wheel-drive sports car that is fun to drive.
“The 86 Aero features an aggressive front, side and rear skirts matched with a high-mount rear spoiler,” went the 86’s spin. “Red trimmings on the steering wheel, shift knob, door handles and a bucket seat adds a sportier flavor to the vehicle.”
No doubt the 86 is a comeback hit. Because of that, my dear friend, Vicente “Wency” A. Wenceslao, craves for one. Unfortunately, like many other car buffs in the country, Wency couldn’t find one.
Help, Sugata-san?
Vios Limited Edition
VIOS, the locally manufactured wonder, also had a show of its own at the Pims as TMP unfurled the TRD Limited Edition model.
Vios being the country’s No. 1 selling car, the new Vios TRD attracted ride enthusiasts with its 17” TRD alloy wheels, rear spoiler, muffler cutter and side skirts that came as standard features.
What gave the show’s visitors added thrill was the chance for each one of them to test-drive not only the Toyota Prius Hybrid and the all-new Camry from TMP, but also practically all the models of the other exhibitors, to include Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Honda, Subaru, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the many others that lent a helping hand to make the event a success.
The show had for its theme, “Fun to Drive.”
But Toyota went a little farther by adopting as its theme the pitch, “Drive the Fun,” during the four-day event.
And, of course, not far behind in giving added punch and thrill to the Pims was TMP’s Big Brother, Lexus Manila, which brandished its own unique brand of entertainment by unleashing the lethal duo of Martin Nievera and Gary Valenciano. Unique because Lexus man Danny “Sir John” Isla, being a certified Beatlemaniac, saw the need this time to divert from Beatlemania to “Balladmania” if only to be attuned to the times.
That only proves how diverse and dynamic a man Sir John is.
Isang manipis diyan!
GTO doing wonders
IF you use the GTO (Green Technology Oil) to treat your engine oil, you will never change engine oil again for the entire lifetime of your vehicle.
“Our GTO has two objectives,” said Elso Cabangon, the much-respected president of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines (1969-70), who is one of GTO’s major distributors in the country. “It controls carbon emission from land, sea and air transport vehicles, and it reduces the maintenance costs of your vehicle, because you no longer have to change engine oil and oil filter once you start using GTO. Plus, your engine will work more efficiently upon treatment of our GTO.”
In one emission test last week in Marikina, a passenger jeepney registered 5.26 emission exhaust before the GTO treatment was done and the vehicle’s smoke was virtually all black. After mixing 250 ml of GTO with the engine oil, the reading dropped dramatically to 1.19. Gone was the black smoke.
“The latest good news we got was, our GTO has just passed the rigorous tests from the Department of Science and Technology-Environmental Technology Verification (DOST-ETV),” Cabangon said.
Banker top gun Senen Glorioso, successful businessman Bob Corrales, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas deputy governor Diwa Guinigundo and BusinessMirror Opinion Page columnist Jonathan de la Cruz have attested to the effectiveness of the GTO as they have become loyal users of it.

Pee. stop Raul Marcelo, the SUV lover, is going great guns as usual as Subic Freeport’s Mister Tourism. Subic was again packed to the rafters during last weekend’s four-day holiday, proof once more that it takes a good man to make things happen in a place perfect for a getaway destination to tired souls who duke it out at the asphalt jungle that is Metro Manila five days a week. Cheers, Raul!...The Blue Gray Gallery will stage a group exhibit by famous artists, including Adie Santos, at the Cubao Expo Center at the Araneta Center Complex, Quezon City, on August 25, 6 p.m., Monette Alvarez, the Gallery’s managing director, announced…The 26th National Coconut Festival will be held next week in Tacloban and Zamboanga, according to dearest Thelma Tolentino. But the main event will be at the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) compound at the Elliptical Road, Quezon City, on August 30 and 31. PCA Administrator Euclides “Ukli” G. Forbes, an Alterra fan, said this year’s theme is, ”Masaganang Kinabukasan Mula sa Niyugang Inalagaan.” Our coconut industry is now an annual $2.0-billion export earner. Cheers to Pareng Ukli!

The Racing Line TV(2013 RACS MINDANAO ROUND 1)
Team GTO into racing... featured here is Stephen and his old Honda City 1300 stock with GTP Level 5. We thought it would be a good idea to prove the technology into real world test.
Stephen is first time racing here... getting 2nd place against 5 other cars is not bad at all.

Team GTO in Marbel Autocross doing marvel
Team GTO composed of only 2 cars and 2 drivers this time... but the camaraderie with the Davao and Gensan group of Racers is non-quantifiable.
The object for the team in this race is to prove that it's not all about the driver.
Our newbie racer "Stephen" owner of the Green Tech'd GTP Level 5 Honda City 1300cc proved that the Technology is not all about the driver... but also with the car and what was done to it.
Both the X-Taxi and the City has the same GTP level set up. But the difference is one has a GTE5 while the other has a GTE6... the one that has the 5" Tsunami is carbureted while the one with the 6" has Electronic Injection. The Honda City being a newer car relative to the Sentra is far stronger and faster, but we did not match them. They were entered into 2 different categories.
The Honda and it's driver Stephen entered Novice Stock A and Novice Stock A-Modified classes. He placed 2nd in the 2nd category.
While the Sentra on the other hand entered 2 categories as well at Intermediate Stock A and Intermediate Modifed Stock A.
Armed with very limited fuel budget... much as we hate it... we needed to drive economically... by keeping our right foot restrained, even when we are in a very very beautiful highway.
At any rate, Winning was not the object of this trip to Marbel... it was all about the journey of more than 300 kms. more or less one way and another back. It was the joy of knowing that your motley outfit or small car could make it there with flying colors and even get to take home the bacon at the end of the day... It was the joy of knowing that your measely 1300cc engine could actually drive and feel like it is King of the road!... and even felt like you are flying a jetplane at very low altitude.
To top it all... the joy of driving your car daily for work, school or play and not being worried about your engine and oil... even if it was treated 6 months or even 2 years ago... without an Oil Change... except for the filters.
Thank you Team GTO!
