automotive engine oils: whats your pick?

5T km oil change is more than good enough unless you have a bad engine or using a super cheapo oil from an unknown manufacturer.

The ZZ engine in the altis is prone to developing sludge if owners don't change the oil every 5,000 kilometers... even if the oil is fully synthetic.

Some are using diesel engine oil for their Altis, API CI-4 or better, one that is compatible with petrol engines and has lowest ash content.

This is quite scary for some unfortunate Altis owners because the engine may fail during inconvenient or dangerous situations.

meron na bang naka subok nang MAG 1 gas engine oil na 10w-30, full or semi synthetic? Balak ko kasing gamiting ito sa optra ko. Ito lang kasi ang 10w-30 available dito sa sukat. 04Optra manual says dapat 10w-30 ang gamitin. thanks

Castrol Edge Gamit ko sa Oto ko.. 5w-40.. Hindi pa ako nakakasubok ng ibang langis sa Alterra ko liban sa Castrol.. Mainam at ramdam mong pulido talaga ang hatak.. Mas okay sya compared sa Magnatech.. Syempre semi-syn yun Magnatech.. ^_^

Gusto ko subukan yung REPSOL na 5w-40 din.. Okay ba itong brand na to guys? Patulong naman sa mga naka-experience na at may idea sa REPSOL na brand.. Thanks..

May nakagamit na po ba nito mga sirs? Php 1,308 kuha ko sa Unioil station. Idemitsu din kasi oils na gamit ng Honda so eto na lang binili ko mas mura pa. Wala din ako balak patakbuhin ng 10,000kms to since sa manual ng jazz every 6 months or 10k ang palit which is hindi ko naman na rereach yung 10k.

Currently eto gamit ko sa 04 1.8 MT Rav4 and 2009 1.3s Honda Jazz ko. Ok ang performance
