automotive engine oils: whats your pick?

[speed unlimited]

Using a Motul H -Tech 10W-40.

[Type 100]

I'm a Royal Purple user myself, 10W-40. Had Speedyfix change it for me after using Honda's full-synthetic Idemitsu-licensed oil. So far so good. I've flogged the engine at a couple of trackdays since, and it's still purring fine in daily use.

Going to use FK/Massimo Super SS-X mineral oil next, same viscosity.

[Type 100]

ayon sa manual:

ung 5w-30 temp range ay below -30 deg.C to 15 deg.C.

while 10w-30, 10w-40, 10w-50, 15w-40, 15w-50 temp.range is from -20 to above 40 deg.C...

ung 20w-40 and 20w-50 temp range is from -10 to above 40 deg.C

naguguluhan ako kung anong viscosity kukunin ko...diba magiging mainit na ngayong summer?


eto pa ung API grade SG, SH SJ, ILSAC grade GF-I, GF-II ACEA96-A2... alin dapat kunin ko?

Ignore the "W" - that means "winter" and the number next to it refers to the viscosity of the oil when COLD

30-weight or 40-weight oil is enough for most people.

Regarding API grades, newer grades are denoted by higher letters of the alphabet. SJ is new but SL is the newest I believe. API is easy - just get the newest you can find.

For our 2002 Altix, I use RP.

Casa Toyota Fully Synthetic oil para sa Avanza. Under warranty pa kasi e.

I'd stick with 10w40 or 5w40.

The lower the first number, the thinner the viscosity of oil at start-up... which means less drag on the engine during cold start-ups, which is good for engine longevity and fuel economy.

just bought a gallon of mobil 10w-40 to replace the shell variety of the same viscosity yesterday for our ek. gonna have it on my car hopefully by the weekend

for a naturally aspirated diesel...?

I use:

Castrol CRB --> 200 ata per liter, or slightly less
Shell Helix (mineral) --> 2,200 ata yung sa shell (1 gallon+1 liter) may kasama nang bosch oil filter

oil change every 5,000 km.

Tried using fully synthetic a couple of times. Itim rin after a week, that's why I'm sticking to mineral oils.

Bro., ang langis ng diesel engine, pag umitim, ang ibig sabihin, it is doing its job well in cleaning the engine......
