Engine Oil - All About It

[type02]

my shop put motul synthetic crdi on my montero, sabi niya with synthetic imbis na every 5K KM, every 10K pwede sa synthetic, any comments?

 

This is true, fully synthetic oils (any brand) has an almost double life expectancy. Think of it this way, Mineral Oil = 5,000 Kms ; Semi-Synthetic = 7,500 Kms ; Fully Synthetic = 10,000 Kms

I believe so.

The cost would compensate for the hassle in having the regular 5k oil change

Thanks for the info.

Fully Synthetics can go all the way upto 20,000km!? BMW's have their service in 18k-25k! I use Mobil Gold on my Honda Jazz 2004 DSi. I just change its oil once a year, ,low mileage driven kc yung auto eh, mag 40k plus palang sya dis year!

I agree on this. However, I've heard that for the Mineral oil that is 5000 km or 6 mos whichever comes first. Is that true? what if its Fully Synthetic?

 

My problem is low mileage ang car ko. I travel around 5000 in a year's time only. Sabi ng service advisor ko is that I have to change the fully synthetic oil na rin for my 5000 PMS kung after a year na inabot from the 1K PMS.

@rooster69ph - Well sir, I strongly suggest changing to a Fully Synthetic Engine Oil, any brand will do but my recommendations would be Motul, Helix and Royal Purple

 

@jimithing - for Royal Purple contact "SpeedyFix", 312 Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila SHOP - (02) 717-4202or check their website http://www.speedyfixph.com/

mas maganda nga synthitic oil, better if you still change you oil every 5000km using fully synthetic oil, para mas alaga engine mo,

pde talga sa synthic yung every 10t km oil change kung highway drive ka madalas, pero kung city at puro traffik, 5t km plang malaput na oil mo nyan

[mark625]

i use mobil 1 fully synthetic

i heard about the bad thing using fully synthetic oil in the long run, that it'll build up sludges and tar in the engine even if you change oil every 10,000kms, how come is this happening? any advise of switching oil from fully synthetic into semi synthetic oil? thanks

[baloney0319]

using synethetic oil and adding additives would eventually lead to sludge...i haven't heard of any instances that fully synthetic oil alone causes problems. also i recommend not reaching the 10k mark to have an oil change due to higher operating temp and stop-go traffic in manila and if there's any chance drive your car on highways once in a while to remove carbon build ups in the engine.
