Which Diesel Brand is BEST?

[Wildfire]

Hi guys next week im going to have a Focus TDCI my first diesel vehicle and im wondering which brand is best for fuel economy, engine wear and the likes?

i think i've answered your question on a separate thread.
imho, diesels are formulated equally. you just have to try them out by yourself and see what suits your vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency.

but i have talked to some guys who really attest that Petron's diesel is the best they've tried so far.

Hehe that's right i'll try ur advice i'll star with the other brands then compare it to petron, any advice to prevent black smoke that diesel engines produce?

replied to your query at the other thread bro.

cleanest diesels daw is :
1. TOTAL
2.SHELL
3.PETRON
and the least is caltex .. (based on my expiriences)

This is what I found in the Isuzu Alterra thread. But this only answers for the cleanliness, and not FC. And take note of the word "daw".

any tips on change oil? how frequent and do i really have to replace the filter with it? fuel filter and air filter?

[Wildfire]

is the motor oil used in gasoline engine same and can be use in diesel engine?

[av8or5]

for me Petron. More quiet, less vibration, less smoke, and slightly better FC for my ride. The worse is Shell. I don't know why. I've tried this on two diesel cars, same feedback.

Wildfire: congrats on your ride, but I suggest you search for the answers on your question before creating a new thread. Or better yet, search if there is an existing thread regarding Focus maintenance or general thread.

nasubukan ko na ang Petron Shell, Caltex, Total, Unioil, Seaoil, Jetti

the best ang Unioil, ang ganda ng hatak, hindi rough ang tunog ng makina

2nd shell

3rd Petron

4th caltex, Seaoil, Jetti

bro, based on the other thread, your car is new (a Focus Diesel). so i would suggest not to have this as a problem because your car will be under warranty and the casa will be handling your PMS.

yes sir "daw" kasi this is what my friends are telling me and for my expirience i dont think na may difference sila sa FC, but i notice na mausok ang caltex diesels .. IMHO .. now shell po ako or petron for our diesel engine ..

:peace:

For my Isuzu:

1. OK pero Mahal = Petron DieselMax

2. Puede Na at Relatively mas Mura = Seaoil

3. Ayaw ng Isuzu ko = Caltex

[yapoy86]

imo, it depends on the station.. pag mas mura mas low quality.. na try ko kasi sa caltex quirino station mura ng almost 2pesos dun (dati mura pero ngayon hindi na same price din sa iba) and napansin ko na mas mausok yung sasakyan ko (kia carnival) pero pag shell or petron or caltex sa ibang station ang karga ok naman lakas hatak hindi din mausok.. kaya yang mausok na diesel eh hindi yan palagi caused ng engine, malaking factor din ang quality ng fuel used...

sabi ng bro ko sa pakistan daw madaming lumang luma na mga truck and buses pero hindi daw mausok kahit luma na yung mga makina nila dun (mas luma pa dito sa pinas)... sabi nya mas maganda daw kasi quality ng diesel fuel dun mura pa!! unlike dito sa pilipinas mahal na madumi pa...

sa european countries iba ang standard ng diesel fuel dun unlike dito sa pilipinas! mas strict ang compliance nila pag dating sa fuel quality

dito sa atin lagi mga panget ang export ng ibang bansa minsan basura pa!! pati mga car models dito hindi nila inilalabas yung may mga full options unlike sa ibang countries.. pero ang pilipinas pag nag export talagang quality!!

It really depends.
