Engine Oil - All About It


Recommended Posts

Depende sa budget... but if you are always maintaning your PMS or regular services to your casa, I guess its better that you use Regular Oil with replacement every 5,000 kms. Fully Synthetic Oil will last up to 10,000 kms, have it replace with this intervals... Only the filters will be replace by then...

 

Again depende sa budget... some people I know sa sobrang mahal nila un kotse nila talagang every 5K nagpapalit ng fully Synthetic... Oo nga pala if you plan to go Fully Synthetic it will always be that way... no changing back to Regular Oil... But if you started on Regular Oil and then your car aged for like 4 or so years pwede ka ding mag Fully Synthetic...

If you change oil every 5000kms and your car is not modified for racing then regular motor oil is enough. You need to check the oil rating your car needs for ex. 2002 cars needs oil with SJ rating only. If you buy certain brands like castrol or shell you will notice that the oil rating of their regular motor oil is already at SL which means it is more than what your car needs. Therefore there is no need to buy synthetic oil.

FYI po. before switching to fully synthetic oil (from mineral based oil) make sure na OK pa ang condition ng mga oil seals and gaskets ng engine ng car, otherwise, expect oil leaks here and there. so kung medyo old na ang engine, have those seals and gaskets replaced before pouring in the fully synth oil...

 

semi-synthetic oil lang gamit ko pero change-oil every 5K. this way regular ko nache-check ang underside ng auto and others.....

 

happy motoring
