I agree, maraming detergent kasi nga high sulfur ang diesel dito sa atin. That's why recommeded na oil is only API CF or CF-4 for toyota innova d4d diesel. Owners manual suggest an API CF or CF-4 for diesel Innovas here in the Philippines. Suflur ng Diesel dito sa Pilipinas is at least 500PPM, other countries 50ppm na lang. Kaya nga hindi EURO IV compliant ang diesel dito sa atin. Dirty Diesel causes the Suction Control Valve or SCV D4D dreaded problem. Toyota rectified the problem by improving and making the SCV bigger and longer and wont clog yong SCV. Mura lang naman paayos nito, less than P10,000 yata. Kaya nga lang you will never know when your engine will stall. High maintenance sa diesel, High Gasoline Prices sa Gas. Dami namang mekaniko ng diesel dito sa atin. Kaya just take your chancesna lang.
As per Owners manual, Innova diesel oil recommended oil dito sa atin is API CF-4, CF, CD, CE and not those high API ratings for diesels API CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS/CI-4/CH-4/CG-4/ SM/SL/SJ ACEA E7.
May mga diesel oil na hindi API SL, SM rated Not all diesel oil are recommeded for Gasoline engine and not all Gasoline oil are rated for Diesel engine. Meron mga Gasoline oil na SL, SM rated and also CF rated. So pwede sa Gasoline and Diesel.
