Pwera sa maraming engine oil sa diesel engine compara sa gasoline yung ibang maintenance ay halos same expenses lang especially if you pms outside casa. Siempre mas magastos ang diesel engine if main parts is to be replace like fuel injectors, turbo charger, etc.
Di na kailangan ang pre heat before start & long idle para painitin ang makina before driving sa new common rail injection engine.

Chismis lang naman yang mas mahal maintenance ng diesel e. Mas mahal lang sya in terms of liters ng oil. E magkano lang naman yun
May nag sasabi na pag nasiraan ka ng diesel e mahal ang gastos. Unlike gas.
that is probably true. diesel engines are built more robustly than gas engines, and spare parts are probably more expensive because they are built more robustly.
but the question is, "just how often does the diesel engine break down?" after all, they are built more robustly...
well, mine have never broken down, after 4, 8, 10 years of regular everyday use.. that's over 100,000 km in one vehicle... and i have never changed a single part all that time.. just keep the air filter clean, replace fuel filter as scheduled, and change oil every 5000 km.

Tanong ko diyan. Bakit nag rerelease parin ng gasoline ang mga car manufacturer kung talaga na develop na nila ng maayos ang diesel engine.. bakit most taxi vios parin na may option naman sila mag access diesel..
My 92' L300 never had an engine part break, that is for over 250,000+ KM.
I replaced the typical consumables but that is it.
Oh, I also replaced the radiator last year.
So if you can afford the Innova then go for it. In my case, I cannot afford the Innova (at the time of purchase), my wife refuses to ride the L300, AND the public transport fare (ALONE) far outweighs the cost of owning a petrol driven car.
i agree.
it is also my wild guess, that gas engines are subject to less stress than diesel engines, and are therefore, cheaper to manufacture.
also, i believe that the low pump price of diesel fuel in this country, is more a product of politics than commerce or industry.
third, i think that gas engines spew out less pollution than diesel engines.
Agree. Diesel engines are high compression. They don't have a spark plug and they simply compress the fuel oil mixture until it explodes. Diesel engine blocks have to be strong to take this stress.
Most modern diesels have turbos and intercoolers which add to the cost. CRDIs run at very high fuel rail pressures which requires more expensive injectors and pumps.
i have seen some of these made-in-india cars.. (is the ertiga made in india?)
compared to japanese cars (toyota), they seem to lack... "finesse".. medyo magaspang ang ilang detalye.
i once saw a tata on the road.. brand new.. yet, medyo naka-angat nang kaunti ang bandang ibaba ng pinto.
Nung una maraming kumuha ng Accent Diesel for Taxi, but now most new Taxi's now are back to Vios.
Nakausap ko yung taxi na diesel accent nasakyan ko at tinanong ko ano ang madalas masira, ang sabi nya ay turbo, at ang mahal nito kaya yung owner balik sa Vios.
Ang diesel kasi ay may cooldown time pa kung galing sa long drive, and I doubt kung nagagawa ito ng mga taxi driver, unless you are the personal owner.
Mas nagmamahal ang diesel engine maintenance kaysa gasoline engine kung di knowledgeable o walang paki ang driver.
