^ 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.

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.

^^^thanks to all!

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.

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).

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

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..

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.

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