Engine Oil - All About It

[Palos27]

Been using Repsol 5w30 Fully synthetic oil at regular change oil interval of 5000 kms.

For me Clean Mineral/Regular Engine oil is better than a dirty fully synthetic oil. I change every 5k kilometers or 3 mos (long drives,traffic or what not) whichever comes first.

instead of using flushing oil, I would use regular oil for a month or two then change it again. Tapos regular oil intervals na

Depends on your engine. Flushing is a good practice, do it on your 1st oil change for the rest of its life.

But if your engine’s design has TBIO (timing belt in oil) stay away from the flush or you risk your timing belt.

fully synthetic oil is the best for me because it is good fo 10k km without any hassle

Fully Synthetic. You can feel the difference.  It is more quiet and drives a lot faster too.

But technical articles warn about using new synthetic oils on old vehicles. Maybe that has more to do with viscosity and the user hoping to force mileage of over 8k on a single oil change or filter.  Users must check oil usage regularly. If the dip stick shows low or even below that, then maybe change oil if dirt is present.  Depending on use, engines are expected to consume oil every 1000 kms. Check your owner's manual for details.

 

I would avoid the synthetic blend. There is a tendency to cake and have sludge deposits. The weaker oil deteriorates and when it breaks, it releases the load of dirt and carbon deposit that turn into cement or gummy syrup that can only be removed by an engine overhaul.

Para sa akin same lang lahat yan. Huwag lang ung fake engine oil, it will damage ur engine. Ang important always do the regular check and follow the PM sked of your car/motorcycle, I'm sure tatagal yang auto mo.
