2014 mitsubishi montero

[orttech]

Hello guys, I got myself a 2014 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Gls-V last week, and this is my first ever diesel vehicle. I have been using it everyday, so far all is good. I am quite concerned about what type of fuel I should use as the diesel here is quite dirty, it might cause some engine noises, vibrations and black smoke. I have read and heard a lot that the big 3 here still offers Euro II diesel, even the premium ones like V-Power diesel and Turbo diesel, and the smaller players like Unioil offers Euro 4. Is that true? I find it hard to believe that Unioil's Euro 4 diesel is cheaper than the big 3's Euro II. Please share your thoughts guys?

the big three buys barrels of crude oil and refines them here (in-house)since they have their very own refineries.

long ago before the passage of the oil deregulation laws, companies who want to import refined fuel need to pay a hefty taxes hence the big three just built the refineries in order for them to save money.

now that the oil deregulation law has been laxed a bit, the small players are now allowed to import refined oil from outside our country(since they don't have their own refineries here in our country) one of the good side effects of that is that imported refined fuel has a higher standard of refinement. why? because their law is stricter when it comes to anti pollution/environmental regulations- most of the refined oil is brought from singapore's futures commodities market.('futures market"- there are times that the small palyers oil are a bit more expensive than the big three)

now, why wont the big three refine their crude oil to a better standards? For the reason that would amount to more process which would incur additional expenses and waste by products that there is no market for.

it's like this you can buy a water filter from ace hardware but it can only filter sediments and minerals, however if you buy an osmosis pressure controlled filter it can purify water to it's purest h20 form- but this process creates more waste- out of a gallon filtered water you can only use 70%. in an ordinary filter tap filter, you can use 99.99% of the filtered water.

What a great explanation victorevolution, very informative. I guess I should go for Unioil's Euro 4 diesel then. Thank you!

yes but not so fast, pick a fuel station in a location that is not prone to floods.

[orttech]

yes, there aren't so many Unioil stations around, I know there is one at the intersection of Buendia and SLEX, right across Petron, it's been there for ages already, hope they have quality fuels there.

I topped up my tank yesterday with Unioil's Euro 4 diesel, then traveled around the city a bit and tried to floor the accelerator pedal several times while parked, zero black smoke came out from the exhaust pipe, pretty good. I am just not sure though if that's because the car is still new or the Euro 4 diesel really is doing its job. One more thing I noticed, the engine noise sounded louder than before, I don't know, maybe I am just paranoid.

Anybody notice a clicking sound while rotating the steering wheel? I just want to know if it's normal.

Ganyan din sa akin noong first two months. Sobrang hina lang kaya hindi ko pinapansin. After a while nawala na.

Guys, I just met Zix and had my optitron, AC filter and EGR blanking done, and I was impressed with the way he worked, he absolutely knows what he is doing, and he knows the car inside out. To be honest, I don't think any certified Mitsubishi mechanics would be as good as him, not even close.

Zix, I would like express my greatest appreciation to you for what you have done for my car, you save big bucks for people, you need to be recognized. All the best to you!

[lakarz_16]

Agree with you sir orttech! Mabait sobra yan si master zix. Next upgrade mo na ang intercooler + race chip!

Nice one sir! Agree to that and he knows our monty very well. Project mo na din po yung oil catch can para di na gano mag dumi yung intercooler and intake manifold mo po.

[orttech]

Thanks for advice!

Hello Zix, can you pm me about this oil catch can and intercooler thing? A bit of explanation please? Thanks!

Guys, I am still on my first tank of fuel so far, and topped it up with Euro4 diesel at Unioil about a week ago. I've noticed that the engine is quite LOUD, I haven't got the chance to try other brand so I have no comparison.

Is that normal? Would V-Power diesel or Turbo diesel help reduce the engine noise? I know Unioil's Euro4 diesel is cleaner but the engine noise is just really LOUD. Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Same here bro, yung hissing sound nawala, ito naman ang pumalit. wala pang time to have it check by casa.

Sir miggymontero,

kailan po ba nag-occur yung hissing sound ng steering?! pag bagong start-up? during driving?!

para-macheck ko rin yun sa amin, so far wala pa naman akong naririnig na hissing sound related sa steering (nasa 6months old na yung monty namin at nasa 259 pa lang ang natatakbo) meron akong narinig dati na scraping sound (brakes), pero nawala rin after ko po pinatakbo ng 140KPH,

if in case na mag-occur po ito sa amin (wag naman sana) sabay ko ito sa pag punta ng casa for check up (pa-warranty ng HU dahil nagloko na ang TMPS)
