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.

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".

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 ..

For my Isuzu:

1. OK pero Mahal = Petron DieselMax

2. Puede Na at Relatively mas Mura = Seaoil

3. Ayaw ng Isuzu ko = Caltex
