Effects of engine oil on the smoke and noise pollution

Diesel engines are commonly found in trucks, lorries and other heavy vehicles due to the diesel engines being fuel efficient and offer high torque. However, in recent years, the rise of gasoline cost in Singapore have led to the passenger vehicle population to consider diesel vehicles as a viable al...
