I agree with the post above that changing oil is one way of keeping your engine running smooth, since it is just so dusty here in the Philippines.
Dear Sir:

How do you cheat an engine?

Basically if you don't maintain your engine, unlike people, it does NOT tolerate abuse.

It will repay you with poor performance, bad fuel economy, a distinct lack of reliability and a short service life.

That is the beauty of industrialization - wala na yung pag-aapi or pandaraya - because if you try to do so the engine just fails to work right!

That is why it is much more satisfactory to work with machines than lawyers or politicians.

The standards for diesel fuel are published by several international standards bodies.

To wit, the general standards are:

American Standard - diesel fuel is covered by specification ASTM D975

European Standard - diesel fuel is covered by specification EN 590

Note - diesel fuel is NOT A SINGLE petro-chemical.

It is a BLEND (pinag-halo halo) of HUNDREDS of petroleum distillates.

The exact composition varies even from the SAME company and the SAME refinery - depending upon the availability and cost of the components.

One of the skills of the refiner is to try to make a similar product each time from various differing components.

Sa madaling salita, pa-bago-bago ang timpla ng DIESEL depende sa materialyes na na-bili ng gumagawa, kahit galing pa siya sa parehong companya o pabrika.

Please study harder on the topic BEFORE you make your opinion.

Best Regards,
