    I think it should be safe as well for Euro II compliant engine.

    I use this fuel for my diesel Benz W123-200D, good quality fuel, less (visual) emissions, engine runs and idles smoother.

    Am sorry, not familiar with benz diesel engines. Is this CRDI?, from other forums they say that those euro 2 diesels from Big 3 contains high sulfur content and acts as lubricant hence this euro 4 diesel that has far less sulfur may harm your engine if not loaded with additves ( 2T ? ). Thanks for the post, hope others will share their experience with this product

    Ay sorry no its not CRDI. Its one bolt short of a tractor engine, all mechnical, all old school.

    IMHO, if your engine is CRDI, the more it is advantageous that you should use cleaner Euro 4 diesel fuel.

    hahahahaha low sulfur content hahahahaha

    diesel engine unlike the old diesel engines are par with gasoline engines nowadays but the big catch is, they need a cleaner diesel fuel. REMEBER WHY SO MANY FORTUNER. NAVARA AND INNOVA GOT STALLED ENGINES is due to the dirty fuel(but in my honest opinion tanga lang sila making up excuses they did not thoroughly test their products here like bmw diesel and mb diesel and balme it on the fuel filter getting clogged or the denso made thingy)
    euro diesel 4 is good and even better to any diesel engine car, new or old!

    sulfur as a lubricant???? idota nagsabi niyan

    all gas station should sell euro compliant diesel 4!

    same here. kaya as of now i'm sticking to petron turbo diesel na lang

    btw, unioil is advertising actively their euro 4 diesel variant over the radio nowadays. hopefully, that would spur other gas companies to sell euro 4 diesel variants soon too

    The concern with low sulfur diesel is it will decrease the lubricity of the fuel, causing wear on the fuel pump and injectors. But the gas companies have treated their low sulfur fuel with additives to offset the lubricity lost through the removal of sulfur, so there's no need to be concerned about lubricity in Euro IV fuels.

    Nagpa-full tank ako nitong Unioil Euro IV diesel nila kahapon. Almost close to empty na rin yun tank ko kahapon. As I calculated my latest FC, kung saan I used Shell V-Power Diesel, nakakuha ako ng 6.4km/L. So far, nasa 50-60 kms na ang tinakbo ko since I filled up at yun gas meter ko ay mga 2 guhit palang ang binababa. If this will give me an FC of about 6.5km/L or higher, then ito na ang gagamitin kong diesel.

    BTW, ride is a Pajero 4x4 2.8L.

    How is it compared to Shell V power?, any perceptible difference with regards to idling, vibration, accelaration or noise level?

    Di ko pa masyado mapansin kasi may natira pang V-Power. Siguro once na mangalahati ang tanke ko, baka doon ako may mapansin

    Initial observation from yesterday's drive...

    As of now, nasa 1/4 na ng tank ang nabawas ko, with 170+ kms on my speedo. I was stuck in a horrible traffic yesterday afternoon going to Las Pinas and from there to Sct. Borromeo last night. I think I got a worst FC. Pag ganyan kasi ang log ng speedo ko, I am now 90% sure nasa 5.5-6km/l na ang FC ko. So I can't say pa rin na this fuel will give me a bad FC due to that factor. Nga pala, my driving style is somewhat in between upak mode and normal mode. Now for the car's behavior.

    I am using a 1994 Pajero 4x4 2.8L (4M40 engine) Subic type. Response was very good for me. Acceleration is good, similar to it's acceleration pag V-Power ang gamit ko. Engine noise is almost same pa rin as per my observation.

    I am still continuing my observations with this fuel. Ito pa rin most likely ang ikakarga ko sa next full tank ko.

    Same here, using 2012 innova D4D A/T, no perceptible difference with acceleration, power, engine noise, idling, vibration. Same din lang FC. Sana nga, less talaga pollution as they claim and hopefully no damage to engine in the long run.

    Anyone know the operating hours of Unioil? There is no branch near our place, it was a bit disappointing to find out that the Mindanao Avenue branch was closed today.
