2012 Ford Ranger

[Djerms]

Upon hearing rumors that seaoil has now gone to as low as euro II, I tried Unioil Euro IV diesel yesterday morning. Its a good thing there is one nearby in Marikina. I also took a sample to see the transparency of the oil compared to the previous I used (Petron and Seaoil--sorry didnt have the old pictures of these anymore).

Based on initial observation:

1. Noticeably smoother than the seaoil (which is already a big improvement back then coming from petron TD)
2. Less..er smoke than Seaoil
3. Fuel color is less yellowish and more transparent than seaoil (and waay more transparent than petron TD)
4. No water contaminants (station based)
5. Cant see any small particles...basically good and clean.

From which Unioil in Marikina ka nagpa refuel, sir? Is it from Concepcion, Marikina or is there another Unioil in Marikina?

There is only one station in Marikina sir and yes its in the Bayan Bayanan - Concepcion area beside St. Vincent Hospital. But before I did this, medyo did some research because I'm OC with the fuel I put in. I also researched if this station gets flooded and thankfully hindi naman except...yes nung Ondoy. There are also several tsikot members filling up at the same for over a year now.

Sir will PM you

Sir, saang dealership ito? Wrap around naman including the whole front.

Ford Edsa - lahat yan including sa harap lahat. Wala akong libre nakuha ata aside sa 300 pesos na diesel from petron na binigay nila kasi walang laman ng binigay sa akin yung unit. hehe

May nakapansin ba re the door opening of the T6? Madalas kasi sakin humampas pabukas full open. Kinakabahan ako the door hinges might get dissaligned sooner or later. It has happened on numerous occasions already specially pag ang passanger hindi maingat sa pagbukas. Is this something to be concerned about?

yes, sir i think you should raise this concern to your dealer. ideally, it shud be on a firm, 3-way configuration. para kahit mahampas ng malakas na hangin di basta basta makaka umpog ng katabing sasakyan. sobrang bago pa unit natin para ma worn out agad yung stoppers on door hinges.

Hi, Hindi naman missaligned na yung sa akin. Door is perfectly aligned and solid pero I agree with you dapat firm siya. I also checked other units, ganun talaga eh. May tendency na bumukas full open stressing the hinges lalu na kung inclined tapos bubuksan ang door.

Sabi naman ng casa hindi namna daw basta basta ma didissaligned ang pintuan. Hehehe

Same here madalas pumapalo yong door kaya 2doors ko sa passenger natuklap na pintura tumama sa wall ng parking. Ingat na lang sa pagbukas bka makatama sa katabi.

So this is normal naman pala. You think makaka dissalign ito ng pinto? NOt sure if mine is dissaligned already pero baka naman OA ako hehe. Madalas humampas todo when passenger opens it eh. How do I check if alignment is okay pa?

Try mo pacheck sa dealer mo during PMS free naman un. Free din kasi yong touch-up paint na ginawa nila sa passenger door ko.

Will do thanks.

Hello T6 owners...

Got our White Ranger XLT M/T last June 6 from Ford Global City. Inquired about it last May 23 with Ford Global and 3 other dealers around the metro, but was advised by all of them that the unit's availabilty(preferred color/transmission) during that time would be between the 1st or 2nd week of June. We never placed any reservation fees or any amount to all the SAs we had correspondence with from the 4 dealerships, for us to be lined up with other potential buyers eventhough some of them were requiring us to do so. Instead, we asked them to just notify us when a unit is already available. Then after 2weeks, the SA from Ford Global was the first dealer who notified us right away with the unit's availability last June 6 around 12PM. So I funds-transferred the required D.P. to the dealership's account through BPI around 2PM, went to the dealership around 5pm, went through all the peperwork and waited for the unit to be tinted, then the unit was released around 7PM. What's very convenient with our transaction with the SA was, mostly our communication was just through texts and calls only right from the start few weeks ago, until we got the unit 2weeks later and this SA never asked us for any D.I. Anyway, got the standard freebies(INS, LTO, CMF, floor mats, seat covers, tint, etc.) with Vkool OEM Tint (wrapped around/VK series full windshield) and 25liters of free fuel.

Ok, fast forward.... So we took the T6 for a hard spin as part of the break-in period and went to Baguio last Friday. I've been reading the thread and other Ranger threads, and it was mentioned that it would be better if Euro 4 type of diesel was used with the T6's engine. So before leaving for Baguio, the tank still has 1/4 fuel(approximately 20liters) in it with the mixture of Shell Nitro+ and Petron's Diesel Max from previous visits with gas stations prior to the trip to Baguio. Anyway, filled it up with additonal fuel with Unioil's Euro4 diesel(approx 60liters) which costs me P2380 only until the tank reached full. Headed to Baguio using the typical route from where I'll be coming from(Pasig-NLEX-SCTEX, Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union, then Marcos Hw-Baguio). My average speed when cruising through NLEX and SCTEX was between 100 kph to 140kph. I'm not sure how they achieved the 19.44km/L FC reading last Aug2012(EcoRun) when they first tested the Ranger's FC(http://www.kotse.com/home/index.php/...er-economy-run), but the best reading I got from the T6 was 7.4li/100km on highways, and while going around Baguio was between 8.4-9.2li/100km. That's approximately between 11km-14km/li. Well, so far so good with our Ranger's FC. We just got back yesterday and we still have 1/4 fuel left in the T6's tank. I'm not sure if putting Euro 4 type of diesel has really something to do with it, but I'll test other types of diesel and check if there would be a significant change with our fuel consumption.

[Djerms]

^ congrats on ur new rig. Based on experience, using euro4 grade diesel doesnt necessarily translate to better fc. It will however give you smoother engine response, less smoke and vibrations and cleaner egr

guys, tumutunog pa ba yung beltminder ng ranger nyo? panu ba paganahin ulit ung chime nito? di na kasi tumutunog pag hindi nakaseatbelt yung saamin.

[nicenz]

Guys, meron ba kayo napapansin sa passenger front door , while,opening it may squeeky na parang plastic na tumutunog? I dont know if thats inside the side mirror , but not certain.... Nakaka irita lang kc bago ng unit may ganon.... Hay. Pati nga ung clip under the passenger sit front lose tread na. Pina warranty ko na sa casa... Intay lng daw ako ng feedback from planta. Da hell...

Anong clip yun dre? so far wala pa sa unit ko ang nageexhibit ng issues na yan.. usually may items na loose like seatbelt, shades or bags ang nagccause ng squeeks.. then if checked eh oks na.
