Newbie question po. Nabasa ko po sa thread na yun iba dumiretso sa unioil para sa fuel nila sa mux...ano po meron sa unioil na diesel na wala sa iba. Saan po ba ang unioil stations, ang route ko po ay taguig, libis, marikina, Montalban...thanks po.

[dos2]

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 #?

My officemate's Crosswind bought 5 months ago from Alabang still has no plate number.
Tatalunin pa ata yung 5.5 months sa Vios ko 2 years ago.

[wonderloo]

5 months??!!!!! As in up to now wala pa? Ugh.

[dos2]

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.

Di ba pwede yung quotation via email?

[LancerA174A]

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

Opo, medyo may kabigatan na steering wheel minsan. I've read na speed sensitive ito kaya minsan ang gaan niya pag low speed lang. Kahit ako ramdam ko bigat lalo na pag pagod galing mag workout. Pero di naman nabigatan masyado mom ko. Hehe.

Significantly cleaner diesel. Hindi po malinis in the sense na maganda ang station at malinis ang tank nila, but the fuel itself is cleaner for the environment. Sa branches naman you can check out their Facebook page or website may list sila.

Yes walang biro. Late April narelease yung Crosswind nya.
Actually blessing daw sa kanya kasi medyo tight ang expenses nya lately, di pa tuloy nagsisimula yung bank payments nya. Requirement kasi ng bank yung plaka bako sila mag full payment kay dealer.

Thanks po. Checking also unioil site: Unioil > Go Green Future With Euro Diesel IV (still reading it ). Mukhang wala naman ako nakita sa thread na nagkaroon sila ng problema sa unioil na euro iv diesel. Ayun, meron nga po sa website din nila yun mga stations . Salamat po uli ng marami.

One safety feature po ng sasakyan yung pagbigat ng steering wheel mabilis ang takbo for stability. Not only for isuzu but for other brand also. Experienced it with our Hyundai Accent Hatchback, i nitially thought na sira ang EPS kasi magaan naman ang steering nya pag mabagal but it became heavy pag mabilis..

Hello. Sinabi ko ito doon sa agent ko. He was asking yung name ng agent ng friend mo. Sabi ng agent ko kulang lang daw sa follow up ung ginagawa ng agent ng friend mo.

Haha. Sabi ko kasi ayaw ko na. Umaabot pala 5 months plaka sa Alabang hehe.

You can request a quote and send it to you via email. Let's see whether Alabang will honor what they told you.

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.

So what will be the problem then kung tatakbo naman pala, mausok ba, parang palyado , may madaling masisira , etc ??

If you dont have a dpf, no problem. In fact its beneficial for the rest of the fuel and exhaust system since you are using a cleaner fuel.

Euro 2 tuned vehicles do not have dpf afaik. In short, when your vehicle is detuned euro 2, its more flexible to fuels.

Euro 4 tuned vehicles should stay away from euro 2 fuels. Euro 2 tuned vehicles can use euro 2 and euro 4 fuels.

To those who will undergonoil change in casa, i suggest you tell them to pour in 6.3 liters of oil first. Then do adjustments on your own. The manual says 7 liters for 4x2 but a normal drain will not take all your oil out.

Since my oil is half an inch above the max dot, I had some oil removed. We got 300ml out and the level is still a tad above the max. HTH.

Total oil they put in my mux was 6.8 liters. I drained 300ml. I think its just about right as i assume theres 500ml left after a drain.

[weisshorn]

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.

yan din nga concern ko, panu pag all euro 4 diesel na lang available dito sa pinas? di kaya magka leche leche ang fuel system ng 2.5 L engine? main concern ko ang "high presure fuel pump" baka mag wear agad.

baka euro 4 compliant ang 3.0L ng mu-x sa down under.

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

Timeout. Parang conflict yata yung mga statement, yung isa hindi pa ready for euro 4 while the other is if euro 2 tuned pwede din euro 4. Now i get more confused. Ano ba ang MUX dito, Euro 1 o 3 ?

Meron din nag state here (i don't know how true), sa Thailand Euro 4 na sila. If such is the case, then i would assume all is the same except that one is left hand drive while the other is right hand drive since made in Thailand ang mga MUX dito.

[boybit]

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

Hibdi naman sumasayad even puno at total steer may clearance pa na 1/4 inch sa ocer steer

[LancerA174A]

IPC has been using detuned 4JJ1-TC for years already. 2004 pa yata lumabas yung 4JJ1 VGS na Euro IV compliant sa kanila. Detuned yung dinadala dito, but we're not sure kung gaano ka extensive yung modifications na ginawa para ma detune to Euro II. If tinanggal lang ba ang DPF or pati sa fuel system at exhaust iba din. Technically we have the 2.5 4JK1-TC (Hi instead of X) kasi siguro naka reserve yung TCX sa Euro IV version.

Euro 2 ang 2.5vgs ng pinas. Higher compression ratio compared to euro4 2.5vgs sa thailand.

[kevinworld]

We always get the lower end euro2 engines. If euro 4 fuels lang available by 2016, we better wait and see.

Pwede naman siguro sir, pero nagiinquire ako wala namang nagemail sa akin nung mga discounts and freebies verbal lang lahat.

Just my two cents, unless the car manufacturers themselves issue an official statement regarding compliance or non-compliance of their vehicles to Euro IV emission standards and its effects, expect the confusion to continue especially among prospective car buyers,. One thing for sure, the standard norm in major countries is Euro IV as minimum, it is unfortunate that PH has lagged far behind its counterparts in the implementation of Clean Air Act. Can't blame the car manufacturers if they continue to bring in or import Euro II standard vehicles as major oil players are even slower in providing Euro IV standard fuels NATIONWIDE. From business point of view, car manufacturers will obviously target NATIONWIDE sales rather than concentrate on NCR sales. Thus, if the government will not take concrete steps to fully implement and pressure oil players to provide Euro IV fuels nationwide, car manufacturers will likely continue bringing in Euro II standard vehicles. But in the end, it will be the consumers that will eventually shoulder all the additional expenses in upgrading/retrofitting their Euro II standard vehicles to comply with Euro IV standards especially when Euro II fuels are phased out in the future.
