What oil & viscosity are you using?

Is your car Automatic? If it is better ease up on the pedal. If running on a normal road avoid reving your car more than 2 to 3K rpm. If manual, i suggest you check your air filters coz if it's dirty then engine suction will concentrate on the fuel more. It's like sipping on two straws, if one stra is blocked, then the tendency of the suction is to consume more on the other straw (soso) Oil has nothing to do with this esp if you're using locally distributed oils. They are usually designed for tropical weathers like here. And one more thing, when was the last time you had your Injection Pump Calibrated or its Injectors? these too contribute too high fuel consumption if left unchecked...

April 6th, 2004 12:10 AM #8I wouldn't touch the injection pump unless you've done 150k+ km on engine. May check the nozzle tips though if you have a lot of smoke.
I think oil viscosity has a lot to do with fuel efficiency. Compare mileage using a 15w40 vs the sae40 oil.
Also, have you changed fuel filter and ATF in auto trans?

Usually on my LC90 automatic...pag nag titipid ako ng crudo...hanggang 2rpm lang ako...pwera nalang pagnagmamadali laging 2rpm-3rpm which consume a lot and you can see the fuel gauge going down....huhuhu
try maintaing a low rpm..yung mga tips ni Sir Ungas nung nag Isuzu challenge sila
mahirap bang tanggalin ang turbo intercooler?
para sana mapalinis ko rin ang nozzle tips ko...magkano po price range nito?
3.0 lang yung sa aken 1kz-te

April 16th, 2004 11:08 AM #10Gassed-up today after about a combined 45/55 ratio of country-side/city driving, and the current fuel economy of my 1HD-T stands at 6.95 km./liter. Seems OK for one with 80,000 km. on the clock.
i had my original spare mag stolen, years ago. i had since installed a cheap bicycle lock, and no...
