in philippine tropical conditions, there is no noticeable difference between the two oil viscosities you mentioned. you can pretty much disregard 5W or 15W as the country does not have winter: W is for winter

sir salamat po sa enlightenment, so i guess when i do my next change i will not be looking for oil with W on it.., sir what do you suggest then the best for my ride an A/T Diesel Turbo Engine (X-wind) magpapalit na po kasi ako ng langis. First ride ko po ito, and the last change oil was made sa Park & Fly and i assume they filled it up with just a regular oil kasi mura lang po eh, hindi ko namonitor kasi iniwan ko lang sa kanila.

Thanks again for your advise...more power sir.

Baka mahirapan kang makahanap ng monograde oil hehe. Basta wih diesel engines, get oil with at least 40 hot rating.

[jick.cejoco]

for diesel engines, chose API rating of at least CG (C for compression ignited engines or diesels)

i use delo gold SAE 40 monograde (i think its a semi syn based dun sa MSDS nya) mula nung naacquire ko 2nd hand pipip ko. as per my experience, it performed better than using the Castrol multigrade. on my own opinion also, hindi na applicable yung winter grade oils sa pinas. plus the thicker the oil, compression is better since it can seal the gap between pistong ring and cylinder (to compensate the wear) as compared to multigrade oils. malamig o mainit, start pa rin agad pipip ko.

Don't use synthetic oil for the crosswind. Alam ko di recommended yang synthetic sa 4ja1 engine. Use Mobil delvac MX 15w-40

[SiRbossR]

the best oil for viscosity for the Crosswind is the 20w-40 rating.

*miked...I see thanks for the info then chief! I thought dito lang sa Manila mo nakuha yung ganung price for Delo Gold 15W-40.

[quote=miked;1690334]now i've fallen to the hype.....purchased delo gold multigrade yesterday for P740 on a 4-liter gallon and P200 for a 1-liter bottle (total of 5 liters).

chief saan mo binili caltex delo gold? I find it cheaper compared to where I'm located curently, per liter kasi dito Delo Gold is pegged at Php 278 and yung 4-liter pack arond Php 900-1000!


* miked..a little bit confused dearest paps....been used to Delo Gold ISOSYN brand....want to confirm if what i bought (Delo gold multigrade isosyn) is a mineral, semi-syn or fully-syn? my thought is that it is a Group 2 mineral oil refined by using the so-called "ISOSYN" of caltex.....

Caltex Delo Gold 15w-40 Multi-grade mineral oil is under Group 2!
