    It drives like a typical car. No magic. The different is that you get more torque from the engine so you might be able to shift to a higher gear much earlier than expected. Also since it's a diesel, the revs don't go as high.

    maybe you could give more details about what you're going to drive (make and model, type of tranny, etc.)

    if it's a naturally aspirated, non-Crdi vehicle, you'd probably find it abit sluggish compared to a petrol car

    diesel engines doesn't have the speed of gas fed vehicles, so in overtaking, carefully calculate your speed and time availableand distance of the car aproaching

    During morning cold start lang nman needed ang heater. For the rest of the day you can start it like an ordinary gas fed engine.

    Pag linagay mo yung susi sa "ON", mayroong glowplug indicator na iilaw

    glowplug

    Antayin mo muna mawala yung indicator bago mo istart, lalo na sa umaga.

    Just check the manual for the recommended engine oil viscosities. Regarding whether to use synthetic oil or mineral oil, personally I use mineral oil and have an oil change every 5000 km (I have a non-Crdi, non-turbocharged diesel, same as the adventure/crosswind). Due to the quality of the diesel available here in our country, the oil's already black when you get home.
