STA FE (Gen 3)

[ACarEnthusiast]

Si T|tan you may want to check on 4x4 forums because the 2T may not necessarily work with modern diesel engines like those of the Sta Fe. Most engines 4x4 are those of the Landcruiser, Mitsu 4D56 diesel and other Isuzu engines.

Just use unioil, i have a starex with DPF, wala siyang black smoke...

I agree with Vic. No need for 2T if your vehicle has a DPF. Our Grand Starex also has DPF, been using Seaoil and Unioil since day 1. DPF doesn't regenerate that much compared to that when you are still using the Big 3's diesel for your KDM SF3 sir T|tan. ACarEnthusiast is also correct. 2T might not work with Hyundai's CRDi engine.

Thanks for the info guys. I was just wondering its application. I use Unioil anyhow so I do not experience any black smoke.

I use Unioil also (16 months now) and do not experience any black smoke but got curious today on the use of 2T as additive to diesel. Based on the threads I've read below, they say it's applicable to SF3 as well. And lots of testimonials from SFCP members!

Sir Larry, did you try? I noticed in one of the threads you were curious as well.

Anyone here who have tried already?

Here are the discussion threads that I've been back-reading:

Yup, did try it when I still have the SF3. It actually reduces the soot found in the exhaust tip which is very noticeable when I wasn't adding 2T oil. But that was a short test as I eventually sold my SF3. You can try and test it to a diesel car that is spewing black smoke. But if your car is not spewing black smoke then there's really no point in using it, I guess.

Thanks sir Larry. I guess I just have to try it on a friend's montero.

For 1,000 KMS/ 1st month PMS: is it mandatory to have the oil changed already? From previous experience kasi with our ford vehicles, only calibration and tightening of bolts, etc lang ang needed. And it's just usually free.

But I read here somewhere that dealerships change the oil already during the first month checkup (and therefore, not free).

Thanks in advanced!

Yes, it is normal first oil change once you reach 1000km. The idea is similar to breaking in components, in this case your engines moving components will seat or settle properly, ergo small particles of metal shaving will be left in the oil.

While it's the rainy season already with the occasional heavy downpour, I haven't seen any more complaints here about the SF3 leak issue. I hope Hyundai has rectified the defect, albeit no formal public announcement made.

Is it just me or most unit nowadays dont have the stickers from the left rear side portion indicating their Port of Origin? Usually there was this white barcode sticker indicating HARI Batangas. When I picked up our unit last week there was none. Does this mean they are originating somewhere else?

I dropped by Hyundai North EDSA yesterday Sir and saw their for-release units having the sticker. When I got my unit it also had the sticker and at the bottom it said "The label is used for assembly process. Please remove it before delivery."

Hindi kaya tinanggal lang talaga yung sa'yo para hindi masabihan na "not following instructions"?

Sir please advice ano magandang offset sa rim size na 20x8.5? TIA
