STA FE (Gen 3)

[supercar10]

I'm not an expert pero just to compare:

--------- Sulphur content, mass pct ---- Cetane Index

Unioil Diesel ---- 0.0015 ---- 54.9
Caltex Diesel ---- 0.0423 ---- 54.5
Phoenix Diesel ---- 0.00077 ---- 56.6
Shell DIesel/Nitro ---- 0.05 ---- 53.0/58.0

Bsed on the figures above, kayo na po mag decide saan kayo magpakarga ng diesel. Again, their diesel products vary and depends on where they get the supply. Like with Seaoil, they use to get diesel with 50 ppm sulphur content but have switched supplier and thus higher sulphur content.

personally, I used to fill up with Shell Nitro Diesel and switch recently to Unioil for my last two fill ups. But will gas up with Phoenix if the situation permits cause malayo and Unioil station from my place and wala naman ako nadadaanan sa EDSA on my way to work.

What does these figures mean? higher is better or lower is better? Sorry not too knowledgeable bout these fuel stats. :busted:

That is weird Pheonix called me as I filed a complaint, they said they did not carry euro IV. I used their diesels a full tank of it and I experienced DPF regeneration early just like Seaoil. With Unioil so far I have not gone through DPF regeneration yet.

What's DPF Regeneration? Sounds expensive.

Great info sir. San niyo po nakuha ito?

Even if I am not a 3rd gen Sta Fe owner but a Monterosport owner, I can recommend Unioil. Ganda ng specs ng Phoenix diesel pero I can't find it in their site.

It is in the thread, try to back read.

ask lang po ung STA FE (Gen 3) na 7 seater hindi po ba cya LWB? thanks po sa mag rereply,

The PHDM Santa Fe is SWB with 7 seats, the LWB Santa Fe also has 7 seats but legroom is way bigger due to the longer wheelbase thus is classified as a true 7-seater SUV. In the US, Santa Fe Sport ang tawag sa SWB version and has only 5 seats.

Have you guys heard of autoexpress in ortigas? any experience with them?

[njgarin]

mga sir any idea what the size of the holes are sa mags ng sta fe? the previous one was 5h/114. pareho lang ba sa tingin nyo?

[imperialv]

Yep. 5 holes. PCD 114. Ang hindi ko lang alam yung offset.

It will start production in the US this month daw. If they will release this sa South Korea, there's a big possibility na ilalabas sa atin ito. As I've posted earlier, may dinedevelop daw ang Hyundai na twin turbo version ng 2.2 R eVGT engine that might be used for the LWB Santa Fe. Ito ang pic:

Pag nirelease sa Korea yan, mas mabilis pa sa alas-kwatro meron kaagad yung mga gray market dealers dito niyan.

[Automahn]

Pa OT nga.. I saw in korea autoparts yung santa fe DM decal. Does anyone know what is the meaning of CLUB santa fe DM?

DM is the chassis code of the 3rd Gen Santa Fe. The 2nd Gen's chassis code is CM. ;)

Yung 8th Gen Civic, FD ang chassis code niya kaya yung local car club & web forum namin is called Team FD. I guess Club Santa Fe DM is the name of the group/online community of 3rd Gen SF owners in Korea.

[imperialv]

Thanks for the info.

offset is 45 yata

[Automahn]

Yung mga PHDM na SF, may plate na kayo?

Sabi ng SA ko mga 2 months daw plates and magdagdag yata ako ng konti para hanggang 2015 registration ko.... Late 2012 na kasi and parang lugi kung 2014 lang tayo registered

Same here. Nung nilabas ko si SF sa casa, sinabihan rin ako ng SA ko na January pa siya magkakaplaka.

What does these figures mean? higher is better or lower is better? Sorry not too knowledgeable bout these fuel stats. :busted:

the lower the sulphur content/mass pct, the cleaner/better, the higher the cetane index (equivalent of RON to unleaded fuel) the better

Great info sir. San niyo po nakuha ito?

got these numbers on the testing done on the diesel fuel they import.

I just wanted to ask KDM owners here if you have memory power seats, heated/cooled seats on both front and 2nd row seats, lane departure warning and active park assist and a drivers knee airbag? This are the ones missing sa 4x4 PHDM. Thanks.

*Titan, thanks for the answer....nice specs for the KDM

Anyway, I just wanted to share that after 2 weeks of driving the SF3, I am very satisfied with its performance. Definitely one of the most comfortable SUVs in the market today. I usually spend about 4 hours a day driving around the Metro and I feel very relaxed arriving at my destination despite heavy traffic...and this is in comparison to the Monty, Gen 3 CRV and Fortuner. Before deciding to buy the SF3, I was also looking at the Ford Explorer 4x4.... specs-wise and ride, impressive. However, the gas mileage would really burn my pocket....I average about 1500kms a month city driving....translating that to pesos would be about 20-25K a month assuming that 3-4kms/li is the mileage of the Explorer. Some people would argue that buying a car in the 2M+ range, mileage becomes a non-factor.... not true, as I would prefer the 320d than the 320i and the XC60 D5 than the T5. Anyway, my current mileage is about 8km/li of diesel...not bad and I am not using the Eco mode at the moment. I'm not sure if this is because of the "new car syndrome", but driving the SF3 brings a smile to my face.... I don't know up to when but I surely hope even after the warranty of the vehicle expires, hehehe.

We also looked at the Explorer, good thing di trip ng folks ko yung looks. I also found out from US reviews the Ford Sync system hangs. There is a review from TFL cars about this on YouTube. We average 8 to 9 city driving as well. Just filled up the tank earlier at Unioil and they are giving flyers advertising their Euro IV napansin ko din they changed their 50ppm sticker at the pump and made it Euro IV, I guess for more folks to find it much easier to understand and appreciate. Ok yung flyers nila it shows what emission pollution is with diesels. Anyhow, it is great to hear you are enjoying. Hehehe.. Later on mods na yan lalagay mo. Honestly speaking wala naman din kailangan masyadong exterior mods it is already good looking as it is. I placed some mods which are discreet as for me it is more appealing to see finer details on this car than obvious mods. Very sophisticated than brute ang dating in my opinion specially over the Explorer. Although, I still have a few more details I want to put on this car, but that will have to wait as parts arrive here on our shores. I hope they do..

That I am not sure. Bit the owner of Pitstop said that by next year most if not all fuel dealers will be selling Euro IV Diesel. Let us just hope they do.
