Sir, how about the cost of maintaining a Diesel over a gasoline? I heard that you have to religiously change your oil every 5,000 kms for a diesel

Yes it's a MUST! Checked the manual of our Sta. Fe and it states there that the engine eats the engine oil at a rate of 1 L per 1,000 km. Since the engine oil required is 5.8 L, talagang mauubos yung engine oil.

What will happen pag naubusan ng engine oil ang diesel? Big Problems. Our 99 Fieldmaster started to have injector problems when my dad forgot to have it serviced. But problem happened after we have used our Pajero after 140,000 kms. Diesel Calibration ang kelangan pero we just sold it instead.

Ang diesel engine alaga lang sa engine oil at oil filter para di magkaroon ng problems.

I am also longing for the CRDI version of the all new Tucson specially if it comes equipped with the 2.0 diesel R version. At 184 hp and a huge amount of torque, what more can you ask for? Its even more powerful than the 2.2L Sta Fe and with a much lighter weight, I'm quite sure it'll beat the Sta. Fe in acceleration. Say the GLS gas is tagged at Php 1.15M, how much would be the additional cost of owning a CRDI? Your thoughts are most welcome.

kami tatlo crdi. we have a 1.5 crdi engine na getz. sabi ko sayo parang lilipad yun getz namin sa arangkada

if the tucson crdi is more powerful than a 2.2 crdi sta. fe big body (which I have), eh di same effect yan ng getz


now regarding conservation ng fuel i doubt it, the more powerful the engine the more temptation it is to take advantage of its power so therefore i doubt if you'll have great fuel savings.

kaya nga walang halaga sa'kin kung CRDi or CVVT gas ngaun bec. I have already tried and owned both. ang sa'kin kung san ka makakatipid pero same effect. the effect which is you are driving a ***y tucson.

wag masyado magpapaniwala sa diesel kasi brainwash lang yan ng old school pajero's na kesyo nun araw eh mas matipid daw ang diesels. hindi na tutoo yun. grabe lumaklak ang crdi engine parang gas din.


ang isipin mo eh kung san mo gagamitin, kung to and fro and work and occassional gimmicks here in the city, get the gas version. if you will travelling sa nearby provinces, still get the gas version kasi traffic na din naman yun. if you will be going back and forth to baguio or bicol weekly, still get the gas version. kasi pag nagdiesel ka, mas lalong naman mahal maintenance ng crdi makina pag mahabaan biyahe.

why the gas version, your savings of 300k srp between gas and crdi versions pang-gas mo na yan for 1-2 years

Sir, how about the cost of maintaining a Diesel over a gasoline? I heard that you have to religiously change your oil every 5,000 kms for a diesel, while, every 10Kkms (fully synthetic oil) for gas, which I am doing for my Civic SiR. For sparkplugs, I use iridiums which I haven't replaced for over a year now. Please enlighten us sir.

almost same lang din naman sa oil kasi mas mura ang mineral compare sa synthetic. Yun nga lang mas mapapamahal ka lang kasi you need to change the oil filter plus labor kung sa casa. Kung sa mga shell station naman just the oil and filter kasi yung karamihan free labor na. But there is also a fully synthetic oil sa petron which cost around the same price as the fully synthetic of gas engines. Petron Trekker yata yung name.

from what ive learn from Hyundai service advisor, diesel engine can also use fully synthetic engine oils (replace after 10000 km) but still, you have to go back after 5km irregardless if gas or diesel variant. but we used diesel multigrade oil instead for the 1km PMS. 1km PMS total cost is around 2410.cheap na rin.

nice one..... may temperature gauge na pala siya. Is that a clock just above the 10KM reading? What happened to the trip meter?

astig ito, altho malayo sa ineexpect ko yung sa crdi version na mukhang computer na. pero malaking tulong yung temp gauge na tinanggal nila sa 2009 tucson.

clock ata yan before empty ng gas sir. hehe. parang timer.

[a9828]

actually sir, yung 25mm na diff. kaya noticeable, kasi in mm.
but if you would think about it. it's almost an inch din lang. actually, slightly less
pa nga.

kapag nabaha ka malaking difference na yun

I've been checking out the specs of the new Tucson at http://www.hyundaitucson.com and its loaded with goodies. However, my friend who bought a Starex recently noticed that the local Hyundai tend to skimp on other features to save on cost.

Question lang sa mga current owners of the 2010 Tucson, may panoramic sunroof rin ba units ninyo (front and back)? Thanks.
