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

10K oci is still a very safe interval as long you change your filter every 5k, IMO 5k oci is a waste of money and you do more harm than good than if your oci si more than recommended OCI of some diesel guru's is 12.5k or 18k but car manufaturers dont allow this under warranty.
LE lubricants is a good one they supply lubricants for our hydroelectric dams
dont know if they sell engine oil monolec for cars here still no response from them

10k OCI is good if your car is highway driven. but with Manila traffic, i wouldnt do it.

that still a debate of whether to change it on 5k... 3k(mile) oci myth in any forum i read almost all of them had conclusions to that practice is a waste of money and an environmental poisoning of our mother earth...our modern engine oil can last more than 5k, im not raising an argument here... 5k oci is very very very safe assurance for your engine and a waste of money...

agree.. the oil doesnt degrade.. it only gets dirty... if we have the proper facility to process used oils changing every 5k won't affect the environment much since you are recycling...

btw, in other countries they have clean fuel so that 10k interval can be implemented but with the kind of fuel we have here is full of dirt making 5k interval long enough..

^ severe driving condition kasi sa karamihan ng lugar sa Pinas, dirty fuel and air ika nga plus temperate climate pa. SO yeah, 5,000km coi is just about safe unless you use a FS oil and good aftermarket fuel filter and/or the coi recommended in the manual under severe driving is 10,000kms.

be careful in choosing what kind of additive as engine oils sold OTC is balanced with anti-wear(i.e. moly, phosphorous, zinc) and DETERGENTS... you need to balanced it with detergents if you will an additives such i mentioned. there some forumers here tried liqui-moly additives MOs2, better yet get the CERATEC.
