Engine Oil - All About It

[sleekee]

i personally think that mobil 1 is the best engine oil...

[jimithing]

[Vincent 25]

Try Maxima the best daw...

i'm very eager to try Mobil 1..

 

yep, lubed up with Mobil 1 fully synthetic 5w 50 for the first and second oil change this year.

 

2.4 engine feels like a 3.0 -- costs around 3k+ a gallon.

 

other brands I tried and recommend is Valvoline Syn Power and Castrol Edge

[kempaf]

^^is it okay if i use this Mobil 1 fully synthetic on an old school vehicle like Mitsubishi Lancer boxtype?

thanks

^ its better to use fully synthetic for old vehicles since they need more protection

if the car has reached over 90,000 kms, avoid using 0w-5w lubes since the thinner viscosity of these oils

has a much higher probability of causing leaks through worn out sealants of older engines.

 

10w - 20w synthetic oils is what I would recommend for this scenario.

[turboneticssx8]

Synthetic oil lang pero every 5,000 kms. or 4 to 5 months. Mas okay ang frequent oil change para sa akin para parating fresh.

[kempaf]

^^^thanks to all!

[capt KK]

regular mineral oil = 5,000kms interval

fully synthetic oil = 10,000kms interval

Any review on Royal Purple (tama ba yung name?)

 

I use mineral oil + Pertua

 

 

gaan ng makina!ang tahimik pa, paminsan akala ko hindi pa naka start.

[lowrider1978]

Pinakamaganda fully synthetic. Wait for the 0W-20 low viscosity engine oil.

I use Castrol GTX for our car. keeps the engine running smooth

+1 on this, thinner oils wont work on old engines

Please also note that all engines require a recommended viscosity range. Check your car's manual to be sure. To add na rin, despite the 7500-10000km oil change for synthetics, this is recommended for other countries. With the kind of environment we have here in Manila, its safe to replace them earlier than the recommended interval.

 

During my last oii change using Petron 20W40 mineral oil was already dirty at about 3500kms (about 4 months).

[newstud]

fully synthetic oil more protection for everyday traffic jams and more protection for old vehicles,,

[clicker1973]

I have been using Petron's Fully Synthetic 5w30 on my vehicle for 4 chage oils already.... So far so good naman... Mas tahimik ang makina at di mausok.. Does anybody been using this oil here? Good day..

[MagicMass]

I personally like shell motor oils. But its i think its not so much the brand thats important, but make sure you change oil when needed. You may have to overhaul your engine if you don't.

[angang]

I use Royal Purple. Have had no problems with it ever since!

[Guns of the Patriots]

Mobil Fully Synthetic - kahit mahal, alaga naman ang makina.

[kesongputi]

I'm new to cars, anong magandang oil sa honda civic vtec, 99 model? malapit na kasi mag 120k yung odometer so gusto ko sana malaman anong ok na brand or klase ng oil ang dapat kong ipalit.

[S14]

Redline 10w40 or shellhelix ultra 5w40

[johncharles]

Switched to Motul xcess 8100 5w40 from Mobil1 5w50,

wanting to gauge if going down a notch in viscosity and a slight up grade in oil formulation

will indeed affect miles per gallon of gas.

[kesongputi]

thanks, now I'll look up for their prices.
