Mukang ok naman pala mineral oil na lang (aka regular oil). I might go for that in my next PMS.

^^ way back early 2000, Honda started suggesting synthetic oils on honda gasoline engines. the cons: mahal, the pros: it can last 6 months.

why go synthetic? synthetic oil decreases evaporative loss. so yun na nga puwede 6 months kasi matagal mag-evaporate ang oil.

a regular gasoline car or suv can have a spec 2 to 4 Liters of oil. yun 4 Liters mga V6 big engine exped or explorer na yun.

a big diesel engined suv or van like sf of starex has spec of 6 to 7.5 liters of oil. why is that? sabi sa'kin before diesel engines treats engine oil differently than gasoline engines, that's why it needs more liters of oil. whenever you use your diesel car, may nakokonsumo engine oil as you drive. so that's why even if you use regular or synthetic, CASA wants your car to be serviced every 3 months. baka kasi maubusan kayo ng engine oil just like what happened to me when I loaded synthetic at nagpaservice ako 6 months after. my FC dropped to 6km/liter and CASA told me na halos kalahati na lang daw ng langis laman ng SF ko. mintik pa magkaron ng complication makina ko.

so regardless if synthetic or regular diesel, you're throwing it away whenever you drive it. para ka lang talaga nagtapon ng pera, if you ask me.

anyway, to each his own na nga lang if that is you feel. but dont believe in every word that CASA tells you.

Bute na nga lang Sir hindi ang CASA ang nagsasabi sa akin kung ano ang dapat ilagay... Ako ang nagsasabi sa kanila! (hehehe)

Kaya nga proud ako sa casa ko because they do not insist on what you want to put in your car but what the customer wants lalu na pagdating sa oils. You can even bring your own oil and watch them drain the old and pour the new oil into your car!

Saka lang sila mag suggest pag talagang hindi pwede.

Ever notice that the 50km/h has a red bar (whereas the others have a white bar) in the speedometer? Ano kaya ibig sabihin nun? By the way hindi lang sya sa Santa Fe, nakita ko din sa Veracruz may ganun din.

[ferdine]

Curious lang mga peeps. May nakita akong mga ibat ibang model ng SF CRDI sa Europe as follows.

Model Capacity, Power & Torque
Hyundai Santa Fe (CM) 2.2 CRDI 2188cm3 110kW(150PS) 350Nm
Hyundai Santa Fe (CM) 2.2 CRDI 2188cm3 114kW(155PS) 343Nm
Hyundai Santa Fe (SM) 2.0 CRDi 1991cm3 82kW(112PS) 255Nm
Hyundai Santa Fe (SM) 2.0 CRDi 1991cm3 92kW(125PS) 285Nm
Hyundai Santa Fe (SM) 2.2 CRDi 2188cm3 110kW(150PS) 335Nm

May model na CM at SM. Alin ba dito ang mag match sa Philippine spec?

[tidus1203]

We have the 2.2 CRDi here so with that its CM.

[tidus1203]

[ferdine]

Hyundai’s diesel powered Santa Fe has claimed the large lifestyle vehicle class in the AA Energywise economy rally returning an outstanding fuel economy average of just 5.9 litres per 100km over the four day, 1641km trial to find New Zealand’s most cost effective vehicles to operate.Driven by husband and wife team of David and Trish Kilburn from Albany, the Santa Fe easily took out class honours besting its opponents with better fuel economy, emitting the least amount of CO2 and running at a rate of just 11 cents per kilometre in fuel costs.
“We’re pleased with the result but not surprised, said David. “The engine is just so well matched to the vehicle. This is fourth time we’ve driven for Hyundai and we’re hoping for a fifth”.
In terms of fuel consumption and overall environmental impact via CO2 emissions, the large Santa Fe bettered some of the cars competing in the medium class as well as most of the entrants in the small lifestyle and leisure segment. Of the two smaller SUVs that bettered the Santa Fe, one was Hyundai's own Tucson diesel which returned a frugal 5.7L/100km.
The 2.2 litre CRDi Santa Fe easily beat its factory fuel economy figure of 7.3L/100km and is outstanding for a vehicle with go anywhere four-wheel-drive abilities, seating for up to seven people and a towing capacity of 2000kgs (braked).
“We’re thrilled with the result, especially how the Santa Fe did better than some of the smaller cars from the classes below. The fact that our Santa Fe is as cheap to run per kilometre as a medium sized sedan shows the ability of Hyundai’s world class diesel technology to power a much larger and usable vehicle yet still return outstanding fuel economy.
The Santa Fe has shown to have similar operating costs to most popular medium class cars in New Zealand, this makes it one of the best value for money family vehicles on the market, particularly when you take into account all Santa Fe’s come standard with six air bags and stability control,” said Philip Eustace, Executive Director Hyundai Motors New Zealand.
Available from $49,990, the diesel powered Hyundai Santa Fe represents outstanding value in the increasingly popular SUV segment.
The Santa Fe CRDi was one of seven Hyundai diesels in the Energywise Rally, and Hyundai was the only manufacturer to feature a car in every class of the rally. The Hyundai i30 hatch returned a truly frugal 4.1L/100km, the medium sized Sonata 4.9L/100km and the large luxury class Grandeur consumed just 6.1L/100km.
“We have a strong Diesel strategy that has seen us become the largest selling diesel passenger brand in the country”, Philip continued
And we have a made a commitment to keep developing and delivering more fuel efficient cars with lower CO2 outputs. All of our cars entered in the rally achieved excellent CO2 results.”
All vehicles entered beat the proposed 2015 Government target of 170grams CO2 per KM. The Getz achieved 126grams per KM, the i30 and i30 Elite got 108 and 112 respectively. Even the larger cars come in well under with the Sonata on 130, the Grandeur on 161 and the Tucson on 151 and of course the winning Santa Fe on 157gm/KM.
Taking out the class honours came as no surprise, as the Santa Fe won its class in the 2006 Energywise rally and has been the number one selling diesel passenger vehicle in New Zealand since 2006.

Hyundai Santa Fe CRDi 2.2 VGT is the most fuel efficient SUV in New Zealand. I know those figures can't be done here (hey New Zealand is LOTR country very nice) but its also not impossible to do 17km/L as demonstrated...

Crosses my fingers that nothing happens bad to our car beyond PMS, dealing with dealers is a hair losing exercise before you get any satisfactory results...

DEVILSOWN Alcohol Injection by SPEEDLAB














Santa Fe was brought(towed) to Hyundai Casa...........
''engine seized'' and never start again? (according to the mechanics)

any feedbacks from Sir dvldoc and Speedlab?

Nope, engine did not seize.
Something preventing the engine to start despite being able to crank and not throwing malfunction codes.
Probably something in the control systems reading a problem and the fail safe's kicking in to prevent possible damage to engine.
At the moment, we're working with the guys at Hyundai Q.Ave and HARI, whom have been quite accommodating.
We'll post an update when we have something.
