Unioil lang ba ang Euro4 diesel? How about the Big3

Unioil is the sole Euro 5 compliant gas station as of now. Caltex, Petron and Shell are Euro4.

Petron has a Euro 6 blaze.

My EGR was never touched from the time I bought the vehicle in 2010 until I decided to have it cleaned for the 1st time in 2016. EGR does not need cleaning in opening. Just use the current Euro 4 diesel and you won't have any problem with EGR blockage. EGRs by themselves are self-regulating are closed in more than 50% of the time. They are there for a purpose: decrease NOx gasses which are good for the environment and for our health. Leave it as is.

Sorry sir roydok, no offense on your belief whether you agree or not on EGR blanking, its our individual desicion anyway. Yes its purpose is to decrease NOx gases on the emission but on the expense of our engine's life, how about those old jeepnies running non-compliant engines blowing dark/black exhausts. I will not blank my engine's EGR if I were in US or Europe probably where all cars are environment friendly.

I am calling for those who believe in EGR blanking and had blanked theirs with plate without a hole in the middle and if CEL had appeared in their dashboard. Thanks and no offense to anybody.

What I stated is based on experience. Before doing anything in our vehicle its best to know the pros and cons. Final decision is still with the owner.

Shorter engine life as side effect of blanking can be cancelled by using API CI-4, CJ-4 and CK-4 rated diesel oils which has higher detergency and soot suspension that protects better the engine.

For the old jeepneys the government has a program to replace them to new ones with Euro 4 engines (with EGR).

In the U.S. and Europe by law its illegal to have a blanked EGR.

A good article in why we should not blank our EGR:

Again, for those who strongly believe in EGR blanking and had already blanked theirs, did you do a full or has a small hole at the middle of the plate? A plate with the hole still passes about 10% of the soot which a full blank is better.
