Sa tingin ko ford cainta yan, ganyan din tinawag sa akin. Meron silang 2 xlt matic 2 weeks ako. Pero 80k nga di at inhouse insurance na 40k. Kaya ng pass ako.
Mga sir,
Some questions I would like to clarify.....
1. What is the effect of using euro 3,4, and 5 sa engine ng ranger natin?
2. What gasoline stations offer the said diesel with high euro rating?
3. How would we know and confirm that such gasoline stations really have higher euro rating with their diesels? (Baka naman Sabi Sabi Lang nila yun to get customers to fill up with them.)
4. Ano po ba euro rating diesel ng big 3 stations?
Hope someone here can give a clarification to these.... TIA :-)
I've been using petron diesel in all our vehicles both turbo and none turbo engine, since there is a station nearby our place. So far ok naman po performance.
One thing turns me off with small players gasoline stations are there cleanliness. Some CR and surrounding are dirty. So if they can not clean what their bare eyes can see.... What more the one inside their fuel tanks? (Simple philosophy Lang po :-) )
Same question po mga Sirs, based from previous posts it seems like mas advised ng mga ranger owners who responds to the thread to use diesel fuels that are not coming from the big 3. Ano po ba talaga ang recommended type of diesel fuel to use for the new ranger's engine? What's Euro 4, 3, 2, etc.? Significant ba ang difference against the diesel fuels coming from the big 3 interms of emission and engive response against other players?
Sir, anong dealer nyo nakuha Ranger WT nyo? Was there an additonal charge for the spare remote/keys and did you specify to them na you should be given a spare remote/key instead of just 1 remote and a spare key?
TIA
Ford Libis. They just gave me a pair of keys and remote at no extra charge.
I also had them install Huper Optik tint. Far better than Vkool. Really keeps the heat down when the truck is parked under a blazing sun. My other car has VKool and it doesn't do a good job as the Huper. They tinted all the glass on the truck as well as the canopy sides and rear glass.

I've been using Seaoil and Unioil in all of our CRDi diesel powered vehicles ever since. Performance wise, napakalayo than using the premium diesels of the Big 3. Engine noise has lessened, and fuel efficiency is a lot better. Emissions wise, I'd say that black smoke is almost non existent.
Unioil and Eastern Petroleum are proven to be using Euro 4 diesels by the Energy Department.
Regarding the spare key and remote i think the dealer keeps the spare if you bought the vehicle under installment.. hardright bought his cash..
do you mean the icon?
Stability control (ESP) indicator
While driving, it flashes during activation of the system. After switching on the ignition, if it does not illuminate or illuminates continuously while driving, this indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction, the system switches off. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician as soon as possible.
If you switch ESP off, the warning lamp will flash twice and remain illuminated. The lamp will go out when you switch the system back on or when you switch the ignition off.
haha lumuwag na yung shifter ko, di na masyado masikip. dati ang hirap e sobrang tigas. lumuluwag na masarap na gamitin :naughty2:
Higher Euro rating (Euro IV, Euro V, and so on) means that the fuel has less sulfur particles, measured in ppm. Euro II is 500 ppm while Euro IV is 50 ppm.
It does not, however, automatically mean that fuels with higher Euro emission standards offer better performance or fuel economy versus Euro II diesels. There's the argument, however, that cleaner diesel lowers the chance for clogged injectors (which are very expensive to replace) for CRDi engines.
Thing is, cars that are brought to the PH market are already retuned to work with the diesel that we have here. Most of the diesel vehicles sold here function just as well on Euro II as they do on Euro IV diesel.
A lot of people clamor that using Euro IV diesel by the minor fuel brands offers a big boost in performance/fuel economy, but I have my reservations on it since there's always the possibility of a placebo effect since you "expect" the fuel to perform better. A single-blind test wherein someone else refuels for you would be nice, and probably the most objective way to do qualitative testing. Fuel economy can be quantitatively measured though, as long as it's done over several full tanks over the same route, since a single full tank comparison is usually prone to variance due to minor changes in traffic conditions, more than the fuel itself.
BTT: Does anyone know if AT Ranger XLT's are still available?
Help, anyone here who has a checklist on the 20,000 PMS and how much did ford charge you? If you check the manual you won't see a preventive maintenance schedule and parts that need replacement and inspection. Most of the vehicles i owned before have a preventive maintenance schedule in their manual. TIA
