Shell Semi Synthetic Oil

[DeltaBravo]

Tanong lang po.

Is Shell semi synthetic oil (blue container) a synthetic based or just a mineral oil?

Worried lang kasi ako after reading the thread regarding use of synthetic oil on nissan vehicle.

semi-sythetic lang po yan sir. pero ok naman yan e, unlike yung synthetic na may kamahalan. i used to put it on my honda, pero i changed to synthetic para less frequent ang palitan ng engine oil.

First time ko kasi gumamit ng semi synthetic.

palaging mineral based oil (penzoil). Is it true or hearsay lang na pwedeng magkaroon ng engine leak dahil lumalambot daw ung mga o-ring and valve cover sa engine kapag nag shift ka from mineral based oil to semi or synthetic oil?

Tapos may thread pa regarding advise not to use synthetic oil to certain nissan model. nakaka wory.
