Ano pong ok na Engine Oil? Survey na din, ano oil nyo?

Castrol Magnatec! 10W40 Fully Synthetic Oil... Cheaper than Mobil 1 but was able to succesfully replicate the results of the Mobil 1 million mile test. By the way, Castrol is the factory fill oil on BMWs.

No, I dont work for Castrol...just a satisfied customer..

i thought castrol magnatec is not fully synthetic? if it is, then it is the cheapest amongst the fully-synthetic motor oils available in the market :?:

Yes, Magnatec is 100% synthetic oil, not like semi-synthetic oil which is more like 10-30% synthetic.

One of the other nice things about Magnatec is that its supposed to provide engine protection when the engine is just starting (while the oil is not yet circulating inside the engine). It does this because its supposed to have some "magnetic" properties kaya a film of oil remains on the engine's parts in the morning even when the engine is switched off overnight.

Yung mga friends ko whom I've convinced to try it out have been happy with it. You'll immediately notice how quiet your engine runs Dagdag mo pa yung fuel economy benefits and longer oil replacement benefits plus a little extra increase in horsepower due to lower engine friction and it all starts to make practical sense

tanong lang po... kasi.. i was searching for engine oil before.... me nakapagsabi kasi sa akin na yung Castrol Magnatec is not fully synthetic... so thats why i browse the website www.castrol.com and hindi talaga nakalagy doon na 100% fully synthetic siya tanong ko lang kay hagiber kung saan niya nakuha yung info na 100%fully synth yung magnatec wala rin naman sa label nung oil case.... and walang Magantec na oil sa US... according to this site.. http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/additives.html pero.. castrol is good pero hindi siya fully synth.. yun lang sa pagkakaalam ko..

cheers,

Ang pagkakaalam ko rin hindi siya (Magnatec) fully-synthetic. That's not to say hindi siya maganda though.

Sana lang meron nagbebenta locally ng Castrol RS 10W/60.

[hagiber]

Marwen and RS Sprint,

I stand corrected Tiningnan ko nga yung 1 liter bottle ko nang Magnatec here at the office and it doesnt say that its fully synthetic Wala din akong mahanap na info sa American Petroleum Institute and Society of Automotive Engineers. Yung website din kasi ng castrol, halos walang detailed info on their oils.

So based on my findings, I'd like to reclassify Magnatec as a semi-synthetic oil (but a good one at that)

Citgo Motor Oil, 20W50

[marwen]

hagiber oks lang yun... he.he.
magkano ba yung liter ng magnatec..

[hagiber]

A liter of Magnatec should cost you around PhP 400. Yan ang price sa SM.. It should be cheaper sa Banawe.. pero kung a few pesos lang difference, sa SM ka na lang... Nasa hardware section sya...

[marwen]

okay thanks.. almost the price of fully synth na rin...

[nonie]

Magnetec po ay sale ngayon sa TrueValue sa Alabang TC....Php14000/4 liters.... :P
Nakasulat po sa Castrol Magnetec ay Synthetic Technology sya but not sure if its real fully synthetic motor oil....

We just had our accord tuned up (sa casa). Used Castrol GTX with synthetic guard 20W50, switched from LiquiMoly 20W50 din from autoxer.
The car, strangely, feels a bit slower, and slower revving. Does this make sense? Bat naging parang mas mabagal and parang mas malakas pa sa gas nung nagpatune up ako.

this is the castrol i got.

Uhm, Any other feedback?

Ever since we tried LiquiMoly 3 years ago, we've been using that exclusively for our own vehicles as well as competition cars.

My younger bro gets better mileage on his 95 M/T ESi with LiquiMoly(8.8-9.0km/l), than he ever got with Mobil1(8.3-8.4km/l).

Unfortuantely, I've resigned myself to the fact that my right foots too heavy to even get close to the mileage he gets. :D

[RS Sprint]

Auto-Xer,

How much is the 10W/60? I'm curious, wanna try it on my car.

[icon]

auto_xer,
fuel mileage did improve too I guess. I wasn't sure what oil was in there as the car was 2nd hand so can't compare.
Before I was getting 5.1-5.5km/l. I guess it badly needed a tune up din.

most noticeable talga yung the car revs a lot faster with liquimoly than now with the castrol oil in there.


what ratings does liquimoly come in? The one I got was 20w50. Meron bang XW40?

[pdc2]

guys,

ano ba mas ok sa climate natin? yun 10/w30 or 10/w40?:?:

thanks.

[JDL]

Chieffy,

I'm currently using Havoline Energy, nababawasan oil ko pero wala akong nakikitang leak. My car is a corolla with a 2E engine, my mileage was 130000+ and I'm driving around 100 km per day.

Given the travel distance ko per day, should I use fully synthetic or semi synthetic oil and what viscosity? Somebody told me kasi na I should use oil with viscosity na 40 para hindi masyadong manipis.

Thanks

[chieffy]

sir pdc2 okay lang pareho iyan

sir JDL, gumamit kayo ng mineral based oil na SAE 20w-50 dahil medyo mataas na mileage ng kotse nyo...malamang kumain na ng langis ang makina nyo dahil maluwag na yung mga engine components niyan compared with cars na mababa pa mileage...hope this helps

[buknoy2002]

sir chieffy,

ibig nyo po sabihin pag 100k na miileage d na dapat use hav energy or synthetic oils?

:?

[chieffy]

depende pa rin sir buknoy2002...yung kay sir JDL kasi baka kumakain na ng langis...nababawasan daw kasi langis niya eh pero walang signs of leak...baka lang ma-solve problema niya by using a thicker oil...cheap solution muna...

meron din namang nagpa-change oil sa amin na more than 100,000 km na mileage pero okay pa rin yung Energy sa kotse niya...

may nag post sa TACP dati...nababawasan daw langis niya pero walang tulo...noong nagpatingin siya sa mekaniko eh kailangan na raw mag overhaul...

[Auto_Xer]

RS,

10-60w is 560/liter. Try the 50W muna, you'll be surprised how good it is.

Icon,

Meron 10-40w. 320/liter.

For the diesel vehicle owners, try these.

Touring High Tech Diesel Special Oi 15W-40 HD 810/4 liters.

Diesel Schmier Additive (improves Diesel Fuel Combustion/lubricates Distributor Pumps) 180/150ml.

Diesel Purge Cleaner (cleans Fuel Injection System of Diesel Engines) 395/liter.

Diesel Smoke Stop Concentrate (prevent diesel black smoke) 325/250ml.

They work. :D
