Uhmmm. Hindi ko lang sure kung ano yung mangyayare, pero hindi naman agad maaapektuhan yung engine kung sakali. The higher the rating, the better the additives used or lets say, the better the oil.

Based sa site (link below), SG is used in 1993 model and older engines. Maaaring kaya required ng engine mo (as per manual) na SL yung rating ng oil kasi may hinahanap na additives yung engine na makikita sa SL or yung specifications ng SL oil para ma-Achieve ng engine yung kanyang 100% efficiency/performance.

Baket sg? If you look at the date on the bottle, circa 90s pa yan lol.

Anyways the base oil of older oils are not as good as the api-sl and newer oils.

anong brand ba nang oil yan tinutukoy mo?
medyo outdated na yang SG,

oil is still oil. kahit lumang rating pa it will lubricate and perform its function,

pero with regards to internal wear in the engine caused by using a lower rated oil hndi natin yan masasagot unless you will tear down the engine and inspect it.

kung ok naman fuel consumption, no power loss, no visible smoke sa exhaust then we can surmise na the engine is still in good condition.

i would advise you to use the minimum rating specified sa manual mo. if you have the budget go one rating higher...
kung pang personal mo na sasakyan yan, use a lower viscosity like 10w40, gas engine ka naman so you don't need a thicker oil at start up.

viscosity difference has no effect on internal wear, only on fuel consumption...

so buy an oil rated correctly for your vehicle, use the lowest available viscosity near your area or favorite store, and choose among those which fits your budget.

first time ko kasi nag pa change oil sa petron. dati sa suking caltex ako. kaso puno sila kaya nag punta ako sa petron. nong sabi ko na 3liters lang na mineral ito yong binigay nya.


di ko naman tinignan kasi kala ko pare pareho lang. now ko lang nakita s amanual na reqd e sl.. sana nag caltex na lang ako o toyota oil. SN pa rating.

so dapat ba ipa drain ko na agad?? o can it wait mga 2 months or 2000kms para di naman sayang?

so ok lang ako gumamit ng 15w40 kahit 8 yr old car with 65k on the odo? alam ko kasi meron shell helix na ganon rating e. saka what abt fuel consumption? mas malakas ba sa gaso pag low visc ang gagamitin ko?

its your call.

mura lang naman engine oil na mineral na SL.
tapos gas ka kaya 4 ltiers lang kailangan mo.

kung ako nasa position mo. i'll repalce it. nothing can replace peace of mind.

napaka lumang rating na nang SF...

tama, mura lang ang 4L 20w-50 api SN * P720 lang compared sa 100k or more sa engine repair sa pag gamit ng wrong type of engine oil...

pwede ka gumamit ng mas mataas na api rating, wag lang mas mababa...

pwede naman, any viscosity is ok. but the more viscous you put, the more pumping loss there will be hence more fuel is consumed.
lower viscosity means more fuel savings..

ok, tried it. nag change oil ako kanina to shell helix yellow. 15w40 with SN rating na . sana walang maging issue
