    I've been using the big 3's diesels for the last 10 years that I've been driving my MB 300D ( a very "OLD" car). Sa tagal na ginagamit ko ang diesel ng nila,madalas, every year ako nagpapalit ng fuel filter at pre-filter. Dahil, aminin natin o hindi, marumi talaga ang diesel fuel na binebenta nila. And to think that most of the big 3 have their own refineries here in the Philippines. You would expect them to produce high-quality diesel fuel at the outrageous prices they impose on the public. I was able to compare the diesel fuel that they have in the US last year when I was able to drive a friend's car ( the same as mine). I noticed na pinong-pino ang diesel engine chatter ng kotse at very responsive ang kotse na parang V6 gas ang dala ko. Very minimal if no black smoke. Then last week, as I was about to fill my fuel tank, a friend of mine told me to try the Small player's product. Sabi niya (connected siya sa isang big 3 co.) medyo outdated na daw kasi ang process ng refining na ginagawa ng tatlo dito. The small players daw directly import their already refined fuels from another country, (Singapore?). How true is this? Pero I took his suggestion seriously and I tried another brand, SeaOil. Napansin ko lang na para ngang mas pino ang andar ng kotse ko ngayon. Mas maganda din ang hatak niya? Menos din sa usok, very slight nga lang. Any of you guys have the same experience? Like with the other suppliers (Total, UniOil, Flying V, CityOil, SeaOil?)

    Sa bagay, nung mag-off roading kami sa Pampanga SeaOil ang ginamit ko (la kasing pera :mrgreen: ). Pareho din yung takbo and hindi ko gaano napansin ang usok.

    posible, specially for Total Fina - European yan di ba? mas mababa yata ang sulfur content ng diesel from Europe.

    triny ko din yung total ngayon (from almost an empty tank) resulting in from a thread here last week na medyo i-avoid na raw using gasolines from the big 3.

    nagulat din ako, medyo gumanda yung humm ng engine ko ngayon eh. dati parang nanginginig when i was using petron.

    siguro nga tama yung theory sa taas na mas maganda not only for diesel fuel pati sa gasoline yung mga small oil players dahil afaik nga, talagang imported lahat yan (kasi wala naman silang refineries dito eh).

    may napapansin ba kayong station ng SeaOil sa Tarlac. gusto ko kasi sya subukan dahil may malapit na station dito sa Scout area, pero gusto ko meron din akong matatakbuhan sa Tarlac in case kapusin ako ng fuel.
