*miko....Agree agree ako sa post mo.

Thanks nga pala sa Zic oils and Baldwin filters...If you could find any oil test on ZIC UP and ZIC A pls. do share it.

zic power diesel synthetic 10w40... cheap lang... i bought it for only 3200 pesos 20liters can.... or 160 pesos lang per liter....

mas maganda sa caltex, castrol, mobil non synthetic, top one diesel synthetic, valvoline none synthetic, shell oils except the synthetic shell oil hindi ko pa kasi na subukan...

sir, san ka nakabili?

Lakas kasi nang marketing nila eh,, tignan ko kung tunay nga na maganda oils nila...

i use petron trekker 15w-40 diesel oil on my pikup even on my gas fed car, ok sya kahit sa gasoline engine gamitin, kagandahan ng trekker di sya nag bi build ng sludge, runs smoother and mura lang sya 180 petot lang per liter.

[miko101130]

Marami choices other than the BIg three companies... try to explore other lubricants that are way much better than them, additional 50 to 100 pesos per liter pero malayo difference in quality and performance...

Cost cutting on lubricants is never a way to save money... you're just saving up for a bigger expense later on.

[wakiki77]

careful lang sa mga brand ng oil sir marami dyan repack lang ginagawa nila, gamit na lang kayo sa mga tried and tested, baka po mag ka sludge engine nyo, sa mga na try ko na mineral oil caltex and petron ang pina ka ok, sa synthetic mobil, royal purple and motul, stay
away from castrol.

i use valvoline semi-synths. so far so good naman. i prefer mobil 1 actually but it's not available everywhere

[SiRbossR]

for my latest change oil this month i used Repsol Inyeccion for one of my diesel car. So far so good. i also use Top1, Motul, Mobil, Castrol(only Magnatec and Edge) and Royal Purple.

pag gas engine kasi hindi masyado need na robust ang oil to used.. a good semi synthetic will do, but if you're after longevity and maximum performance try to use an oil with CI-4 rating together with an SL API rating...

Good amount of Phosphorus/calcium/moly/boron and a very good TBN reserve..

traditional gas engine oil (SM/SN) will only have 6-8 TBN rating whereas CI-4 with SL rating will have TBN of 9-10...

So better to use a diesel specific oil (CI-4) on gasoline engine than normal gas specific oil (SM/SN)? This will last longer?
