That is TRUE. Its better to change oil religiously every 5000kms using mineral oil than extending oil changes to 10,000kms using synthetics. Mas mura pa.

 

Although the oil companies don't want you to know this.

 

As the engine designer of Honda says: "OIL IS NOT WHISKY, YOU DON"T HAVE TO BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE. JUST FOLLOW REGULAR MAINTENANCE AS WHAT IS WRITTEN IN YOUR MANUAL"

A lot of people dont know that MOST Synthetic oils are just modified mineral oils. These are classified as Group III Synthetics.

 

Brands such as Castrol, Shell, Valvoline, Top1, Pennzoil, BP, and many others fall under this bracket. They are CHEAP to make.

 

The better oils such as fall under Group IV and V Synthetics. (PAO and Esters). These are the real synthetics as they are built up molecule by molecule.

 

Mobil 1 used to be Group IV. But lately naging HYBRID na siya. (actually a mix of Group III and IV). Nagtipid na rin sila kasi nobody knows the real story anyway. Mas malaki pa ang kita. Just spend more for advertising na lang.

 

Many of the posts here reveal that many don't realize that they are being fooled by the oil companies.

the term fully synthetic and 100% synthetic are entirely different indeed. it would easily mislead an uninformed consumer. good thing motul is 100% synthetic.

 

there's nothing wrong with using mineral oil. as long as you follow the regular change oil interval and recommended oil for your engine. but if you want a better, more-efficient and livelier engine, you can go synthetic. why? i recently poured in motul 8100 xcess 5w30 on my other car and i can really feel the engine loosen up. as a car enthusiast, even the least details like these car can really be so much.

HOW TO MAKE SYNTHETIC OIL THE EASY AND CHEAP WAY (According to Shell, Castrol, Havoline, TopOne, Pennzoil, BP and many others)

 

1. Get hold of ordinary Mineral Oil.

 

2. Subject this fluid to high pressure in the presence of steam (ample supply of Hydrgen atoms).

 

3. TADA! Put the resulting oil with extra Hydrogen bonds in new synthetic oil packaging and TRIPLE the price. Allow a big ad budget to FOOL the masses.

 

Now I ask you, would you subject your car to 10,000 kms per oil change?

Synthetic oil for me.

[ricoyan]

Basta if your Synthetic Oil is not the ESTER or PAO type, DO NOT stretch the oil change mileage to 10,000km. If you are using the regulat Group 3 synthetic, kawawa ang makina mo.

[joss]

buti wala sa open market yung oil filter for syth oil use only siyempre 3 x ang presyo. hahahaha advantage nito di mo na kailangan mag change oil forever.
