Thanks greenhorn. Again a typo

.

When I showed System G to Sai Service MASS, he also adviced me not to use it. The recommended vehicle list in the bottle has only Tata vehicles. But I have found many bhpians using System G/System D. They are getting good results.

Those who are using System G/System D in Maruti vehicles, please confirm.

Thanks

Many A.S.S dont even know the names of additives whether approved or not. Their awareness level on these kind of products is very very poor.

I was trying to find System D Extra but its difficult to locate in bangalore.

I'm not sure if it was "System G Extra" and yes the instructions did mentioned to use the next fill at every 7500kms and so the service advisor.

Yea but I suppose its the "System G Extra" which dadu is talking about and its like a "300-500ml" size bottle. I shall recheck the bottle i still have and let you know!

Well the TATA A.S.S are prompt to advise using additives like System G for fuel and Bardhal for Oil. Typically a sales gimmick.

I only choosed System G for first service. In next 2nd service i would try the Bardhal additive for oil!

Swifty2008 · 16th November 2008, 23:56

Is there any expirey date for System G? The bottle that I got looked a bit old.

Guys,

IFTEX System D update: I used System D during my last tank full. Usually I get FE of 17 to 17.5 kmpl ( tankful to tankful ). Yesterday I filled my tank again. Mixed System D again. FE I got was 19.43kmpl ( City running, 50% AC). Tank was filled at Shastri Nagar BP Bunk. For those in Pune will know this route - Aundh - Dange Chowk - Nigdi - Talwade and same way back. There is also lot of running in old city on weekends.

System D rocks. Please note that this FE is on my 92000 odd run Indica V2 DLS.

Take care and Drive Safely

thanks for the offer!!!u bought so many bottles'???

how much does it cost?

joe angelo · 7th December 2008, 21:54

i filled up my tank with 15l of normal diesel and 15ml of IFTEX system D, i think nothing worked so far. no change, engine running as usual!!

greenhorn · 8th December 2008, 00:55

let it run 10 or 15 km. if you think there is no benefit, I'd be glad to take it off your hands

not sure if it helps swifts, but it does wonders for the indica diesel engines

. The difference system D makes is the same as with premium diesel, only this is a lot cheaper ( .8 rs vs 3 rs / litre )

phamilyman · 8th December 2008, 07:03

hmm, interesting thread. Besides Eddy - haven't seen any other SwiftD stick to SystemD for a long time

live2drive · 8th December 2008, 11:24

Is system D suitable for verna crdi?
