Petron now locally producing full range of Euro 4 fuels - Motioncars | Motioncars

Discuss.

PS: Now I wonder how Petron's Euro 4 Diesel Max and Turbo Diesel would match up to Unioil's Euro 4 Diesel..

What are the advantages?

Correct me if I am wrong. But these are European Emission standards. You need and Euro Standard compliant fuel and compliant vehicle for it to work.

We do not have a working corporate emission standard system so we might have a "cleaner" fuel but our vehicles can still have dirty emission.

What would be the difference now between the Dmax and Turbodiesel? I still go with Unioil over Dmax imported pa.

Euro IV fuel will be safe on Euro II engines. It will have lower sulfur content (50ppm vs 500ppm from Euro II fuel), so it produces less sulfuric acid by-product. That means:

1. Less acid in your motor oil - You can now use motor oils with lower TBNs designed for ULSD fuels like API:CJ-4
2. Less pollution that can cause acid rain

If I'm not mistaken, because of tighter emissions, most, if not all Euro V engines would also have DPFs. Some Euro IV engines already has a DPF. Euro VI and higher engines would, in addition to a DPF, also have an SCR and DEF, in most cases.

In all engines since Euro 1/2, it would have an EGR.

EGR - Exhaust Gas Recirculation
DPF - Diesel Particulate Filter
SCR - Selective Catalytic Reduction
DEF - Diesel Exhaust Fluid

Double post.......

^^ dagdag ko lang.

kapag gamit Euro4 diesel fuel.

- mas tatagal din life ng oil dahil sa less sulfuric acid made during combustion.

- dahil sa cleaner burn, less soot build up din.

(yan mga yang pansin ko talaga kasi pre-EGR pa diesel engine ko)

ito daw ang differences : "the cetane level in turbo diesel is higher than diesel max..cetane is equal to octane for gasoline" and " if long drives it better na pure turbo diesel para ramdam mo yunhlg power...if short trips in manila diesel max is fine"

that's from my schoolmate who works at petron.
