Done with my 1.5k pms. Oil and filter were the only things replaced. No need to replace other fluids. They will do it in the first General pms. Overall happy with isuzu marcos hwaym total damage 3.4k using isuzu multi z synthetic blend

Nice! Happy to hear that sir. So they did not insists on changing all the fluids like before? I hope this is now the standard for all casas.

Nope. ISUZU Philippines revised the standard 1.5k pms according to my SA. I have a slight OCness tho sa oil level. Its above the max mark up to the shaded area of dipstick. Total oil we put in was 6.7liters. Manual states 7.0 liters when changing oil plus filter. I guess its no biggie.

Thanks Djerms, good to hear about the improvement. I don't need the additional on power to race or to over-speed kasi it will be for family use I just need a quick burst to overtake safely when the need arises nasanay kasi ako sa Ranger kaya when i test drove the MU-X i felt the difference but attaining a torque of 380nm plus improved fuel efficiency is substantial and will make me feel safer to overtake sa long drive marami na kasi di marunong magbigay sa daan kaya minsan dangerous specially overtaking very long vehicles. Pwede rin naman maghintay for the right opportunity pero minsan need talaga otherwise pila ka lang or bubusinahan ka ng nasa likod mo so they can also overtake the long vehicle. Overall maganda ang MU-X na-surprise ako sa ganda ng ride and it's easy to maneuever plus value for money rin ang 4x2 auto my added concern also is its compatibility to Euro 4 fuels.

I agree on your concern regarding compliance of MU-X with Euro IV emission standard. So have any of the actual owners of MU-X inquired with their dealers regarding compliance to Euro IV emission standard? I think the full implementation of Euro IV will take effect in Jan. 2016.

Even Isuzu EVP admitted that it will take at least 2 years to prepare their vehicles to comply with Euro IV emission standard. Euro 4 on July 1 ‘impossible’ – DOE | The Manila Times Online

What's the deal here, hindi ba tatakbo ang MUX once nag shift to Euro 4 compliant Diesel ang mga oil companies ? How about in other countries like Australia & Thailand that has MUX as well, hindi din ba sila Euro 4 compliant ? It seem's by that EVP statement naka isolate ang problem dito lang sa pinas, totally rediculous.

I read somewhere na ready naman daw ang IPC na mag shift to Euro IV, dagdag trabaho pa nga siguro sa factory nila mag downgrade since Thai. models are Euro IV compliant already. Ewan ko lang kung ano gagawin nila sa Crosswind, baka gawing 4JK1-TC na din.

I've asked the service people many times already pero parang wala silang idea kung ano effect ng cleaner diesel sa mu-X, or if magkakaroon ba ng parang upgrade kits pag nag shift na sa Euro IV. Speaking of, 1 year na pala next week ang mu-X namin running on Euro IV diesel only.

[sotel]

Baka pag 4jk1 ilagay sa xwind Hindi sya turbo hehe

Wala bang sayad pag lumiliko ka? Medyo malaki na yang gulong mo. Im planning to change my tyres to 265/50/r20 sana

Sir, delikado po yan pag sumasayad sa fender at bumabangga na sa shock lalo na sa speed nya na 160, wala po bubuhayin na driver at pasahero yng bilis na yan. May kasama po ako dito na muntik nang mag roll over ang fortuner nya kaya binalik nya sa stock size ang gulong

When we shifted to euro2 compliant fuels a few years ago, noticed ko daming sira sa diesel injection pump. The gaskets dried up. The early rubber were not designed to handle diesel without high sulfur content for lubrication. We don't know what will happen

Sabi nga ng Unioil, users should have the gaskets and rubbers checked or replaced if may kalumaan na engine nila.

[Luap]

Im sure MuX can handle euro IV diesel just fine.

[kevinworld]

If euro2 ang design ng engine, we need at least 6 months after euro4 implementation to know the after effects. The rubber will not shrink in a week or two. It takes time. Kahit sa isuzu, they say they need 2 yrs to shift to euro4. Mga experts sila.

[LancerA174A]

Isuzu has Euro V engines already, tayo na lang naiwan sa Euro II nila. The newer 4JK1 engine is designed to be Euro IV compliant anyway. Btw,


IPC is ready for the Euro IV transition. Nasa oil companies na lang kung makakasabay sila sa 2016.

Theres a nice Q&A posted in shell.com.sg regarding the effects of EURO IV fuel to old engines.

[sotel]

DBA sa Europe euro 6 na?

[ever_01]

Don't expect too much from Alabang. Mataas ang ihi ng management dun cause of their strategic location. You'll get better deal with Cavite & Batangas. But then your registration will be Region 4 instead of NCR in Alabang.

Nung tumawag ako sa Alabang sir, sabi nila kung gusto ko daw talaga na sa kanila kumuha kaya daw nilang tapatan yung iooffer ng iba basta may quotation ka lang na kasama yung mga inoffer ng ibang dealers. Problem lang is verbal lang naman yung discounts nung ibang dealer, wala naman formal na quotation. I agree with you sir, Cavite & Batangas have better deals.

[wonderloo]

I'd have to test drive this. Sana meron sa dealer in cavite. Sabi nila medyo heavy steering? Ok lang kaya...? Female driver here.

[wonderloo]

Also...experience nyo guys...saan mas mabilis mag release ng plate #s. Sa CAVITE or ALABANG branch? Pls share your waiting experience. Thank you. And nakapili ba kayo ng ending #?

Relax. Tatakbo ang MUX sa euro 4 fuels same way na tumatakbo ang mga euro 2 detuned diesels sa euro 4 diesels. Ang problema lang kasi sa euro 4 diesels ay ang DPF and other emission components like EGR. Walang DPF ang mga euro 2 tuned engines kung mapapansin ninyo.

Re lubricity in euro 4 diesels, sa mga naunang batches ng euro 4 lang ang concern nito and they have adjusted this a long time ago. Probably before eu4 diesels reached our shores.

Also eu4 engine oils used should be compatible to eu4 diesels. These are low ash oils. Im confident that isuzus CI4 rated oils are at par. Mas ok pa nga ang oil na ito versus the CF rated oil ng toyota hehehe.

Been using unioil ever since for our new diesels without any problems. In fact mas clean burning pa nga.
