Sir Auto_Xer,
Is the 20w-50 oil icon is using on his accord before mineral, semi, or synthetic? Thanx.

utopia45,
It's semi-synthetic, it's the same oil we use on our past turbo rallye car & current NA rallye/x car, as well as our other vehicles.
1) Mobil 1 full synth for gas engines (5w50 and 0w40 available locally, i've also used 15w50 tri-synth from US)
Tried LiquiMoly 5w40 full synth- got good mileage.
2) Mobil Delvac 1 full synth for diesels- 5w40- the best full synth for diesels AND gas too! API rating CI4, CH4, SL, SJ.
I am currently using Mobil 1 with SuperSyn 0W-40 API SL (from the U.S.) for the Mazda 323 Familia 1.6L, Corolla 1.6L 4A-FE, and Adventure 2.0G. No complaints, very easy on starting, and very little consumption in-between oil changes. Several notches superior to Mobil 1 tri-synthetic formulation. If you have access, go for it.
ondoy,
Just got mobil 1 supersyn 10w30 from US. Will use it on honda CRV.
How much is the mobil 1 0w40 in the US? What's the landed cost in the Phil?
I only use mobil 1 on my 1998 elantra. the best fully synthetic engine oil.
Revive ko lang po yun thread na ito. Sa panahon ngayon anu ang magandang oil na gamitin, yun malaki matutulong sa fuel consumption at performance ng kotse? mag-chachange oil na kasi ako in a few weeks. I'm using a Hyundai Sonata 2000 GLS pala
shell helix semi-syn for gasoline
shell helix full-syn
shell helix
shell rimula-x for diesel
since i started driving in 1986, i've been using the above.
shell helix (blue) semi-synth 10w/40 or castrol gtx 20w/50 pag budget![]()

One oil manufacturer claims that "some people in the industry use multi-viscosity as if it means the same thing as multigrade. An oil cannot be multi-viscosity, but it can be multigrade by meeting the viscosity requirements for SAE 30, 40, 50 or 60 and one of the sub-zero "W" viscosity requirements. At one time, some oil companies labeled oils SAE 10W, 20W30—as if the oil could be 10W and 20W at the same time. This is impossible because 10W is measured at -20 degrees C and 20W is measured at -10 degrees C, which eliminates the multi-viscosity theory."unless your engine is in bad condition, use a light weight oil. so friction won't be too hard on your engine at the coldstart... use heavy oil and it would cause low RPM on early morning start-up.When you see 10W-30 on a quart of oil, it means that it acts like 10 weight oil when it is cold (the "W" means winter, say -10^C), but acts like 30 weight oil when hot (100^C). This is not to say that it is actually thicker when it is hot. Hot 30 weight oil is thinner than cold 10 weight oil. Even so, it still helps provide the benefits of both types of oil depending on its temperature. So 0W-30 oil acts like 0 weight oil when cold, but maintains a 30 weight viscosity when hot.
Read the Labels na lang to make sure your vehicles fit the category...

guys, tanong lng, yung suki ko kasing mekaniko advised me to just use shell helix super (yellow), my car's 12 yrs old. masama na daw kasi kung gagamit pa ko ng helix plus or ultra. should we really consider the age of the engine in considering whether to use synthetic or mineral? i use helix, yung super kasi(yellow) mineral lng sya.
based po sa website ng Shell:

Helix Yellow nga ang advisable gamitin ng car mo.
my brothers are using motul h-100 10w-40 fully synthetic motor oil. 380php/liter.
i tried using enoc oil on my honda and pansin ko smoother ang idling and acceleration.
