ei wulf, bench here. ive seen a "carbonclean" service center in a caltex station in e.rodriguez ave QC. from ortigas go straight to gilmore ave then right to e. rodriguez.
actually ive tried it on my 4-year old honda city (4 year during that time) 6 years old now. a little improvement in fuel economy and performance was the result. the price affordable, i think it was a little over a thousand pesos for 1 car. that was for a gasoline engine. maybe diesel engine treatment costs a little more. bat mausok b?

We offer CarbonClean services in Betan Calibration.

Yes, I can personally vouch for its effectiveness not because we have that service and for sales talk, but I've tried it on my 2.5 year old Mitsu. Adventure 2002 SS.

around 3k more or less. but then we need to check first your engine status before we do it since not all engines need it.

my engine emits white smoke at cold starts. and emits black at high rpm. is this normal?
thinking of switching to fully synthetic oil. if the smoke doesn't dissapear, ipila mo na ko sa carbonclean.

No this is not normal. There might be something wrong with your nozzle tips inside the injectors. Drop by at Betan so we can check and don't switch yet to synthetic because not all are attributed to the engine oil.

bench,
pag cold start,there's white smoke.nothing bad/thick,but its visible.tapos napansin ko once when i really stepped on d accelerator 2 overtake,i noticed white smoke come out when i glanced * my side mirror. so i was jst wndering if dats normal or maybe it needs cleaning/calibration (medyo pareho pala tayo ng 'evolution.' had honda city exi also b4.loved dat car coz i can never remember when i last gassed up,sobrang tipid :wink: )
