    Napansin ko lang sa isang ad ng seaoil euro 5 complaint na daw ang diesel nila, does this mean na better ang diesel ng seaoil compare sa big three especially sa mga naka common rail na mas sensitive....

    AFAIK, nasa 500 PPM pa ang sulphur ng mga big three which is really jurassic compare sa euro standards. Correct me if I'm wrong nasa 100 PPM ang euro 2 at 50 PPM and euro 4 at nasa 10 PPM naman ang euro 5. Supposedly mas mahal ang low sulphur diesel dahil sa refining process pero sa Seaoil which they claimed na euro 5 same or even lower price pa compare sa big three.

    Any inputs?

    better for CRDi engines, I guess...

    For guys like me that drive old school, all mechanical diesels, it's better to ensure that we have calibrated injectors, good compression and clean tailpipes so that no smoke belching occurs, rather than rely on the innate cleanliness of the fuel being burned.

    Pwede pa kami magpagas ng Minola kung kelangan. Hahaha

    Part talaga ng design ng Isuzu engine ang pagiging mausok. Parang identifying mark na yan eh. hehehe

    have you tried biodiesel? baka di sya umusok doon.

    parati nga ako naglalagay ng 1 liter na biodiesel every full tank para di masyadong mabaho ang usok at mausok. effective naman.

    oo natry ko na amoy french fries ang usok hehehe

    ang full tank(35 liters) ko umaabot ng 450+kms(city). kapag may 1 liter na biodiesel umaabot ng 480+km(city)

    nga pala dati pa ako nagtataka sa fuel tank ko, 35 liter lang ang capacity. from empty yun. sa inyo 35 liter lang din ba ang full tank? 2001 hilander sl nga pala.

    Sir, our '96 Hilander has a 40-liter tank. On the times I really dare to max out the tank before refilling, I can put in 39+ liters when I top up (meaning dangerously low on fuel na, 'running on vapor' na lang 'ika nga. hahahaha!).

    It may be the 5-liter reservoir that makes you think it is only 35 liters. Ang pagkakaalam ko po is meron pa yang 5 liters to go kapag nag constant on na yung fuel warning light sa dash.

    sa manual kasi 50 liters daw ang capacity ng fuel tank inclusive of the 10 liters reserve. pero from empty line 35 liter lang ang nakakarga meaning mali ang manual?

    so 40 liters lang talaga ang capacity ng fuel tank natin kasama na ang reseve?

    akala ko kasi puro putik na fuel tank ng hilander namin hehehe :D

    minsan kasi umabot ng 520+ kms ang odometer natakot ako kasi naghihingalo na buti na lang 50 meter na lang ang gas station lol

    Heard that SeaOil doesn't use the Euro 5 diesel anymore. Nagexpire na daw ang contract nila sa supplier ng euro 5 diesel nila. How can we know kung ano na ang diesel nila? I usually fill up my MS here.

    sa marikina around 38.55-38.65. yung phoenix may promo 37.75 na lang.

    well, i guess euro 3 is still better than euro 2 and in seaoil's case slightly cheaper than the big 3 so ok na rin.

    Sir, aside from the lower sulfur content of Euro 3 fuel compared to Euro 2. An other distinct advantage of using Euro 3 fuel compared to the regular diesel of the Big 3 in terms of performance?

    For their fuel prices, I noticed that SeaOil along Commonwealth Ave./Fairview area is cheaper by about .80 as compared to the SeaOil station along EDSA near Quezon Ave. but still their prices are cheaper than Petron.

    I have been using SeaOil for almost 2 months now I guess, coming from Shell and Petron. I have transferred to Petron simply because their fuel prices are cheaper but eventually got hooked since I noticed a difference in terms of performance compared to Shell regular fuels. Then when I saw SeaOil, I tried it also and since I don't notice any difference in performance with Petron, SeaOil has become my station from now on.

    I am not sure if this has any connection with SeaOil's fuels being Euro 3 but I noticed that the smell of the fume is less harsher in the nose. In terms of performance, I can't hardly tell the difference with Petron considering them being Euro 2.
