Check mo na lang yung car's manual mo and maybe have it checked by your casa dealer....JM2C
ito nakalagay sa owner's manual ng unit ko...

* Initial fill is European oil WSS-M2C-913-C in all plants. For high sulphur markets change
engine oil at first service interval to WSS-M2C-921-A.
Your engine has been designed to be used with Castrol and Ford Engine Oil, which gives
a fuel economy benefit whilst maintaining the durability of your engine.
Engine oil - Diesel (for markets with low sulphur content less than 350 ppm): If
you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined by WSS-M2C913-C,
you must use SAE 5W-30 (preferred), SAE 5W-40 or SAE 10W-40 that meets the
specification defined by either ACEA A5/B5 (preferred) or ACEA A3/B3.

kung low sulphur content ang diesel na gagamitin, preferred ang 5w30,
kung high sulphur content and diesel na gagamitin, preferred and 10w30...

i guess they should used a 10w30 engine oil? at dapat full synthetic since change oil interval is every 10kms...

baka nga mineral oil nilagay? kaya pangit andar ng makina ko.

btw, i checked the oil dipstick and oil is a little above max level (cold engine / leveled parking), kung ibase natin dito nasubrahan pala nila oil kahit 8 liters lang nilagay (8.6 liters as per manual), double check ko level later. hopefully my problem is just overfilled engine oil.
