Best oil and oil filter for a corolla 1997 gli?

**bail** · June 4th, 2017 10:17 PM

Planning to change oil already for my corolla 1997 gli 1.6, currently using the havoling 20w50. Maybe you can recommend yung mas ok na engine oil for my old car? pansin ko medyo nagbabawas din yung oil ko. mileage of my car is at 120,000km already.

i had a similar-age (non-toyota) car before.
after the warranties wore out, i had my oil changes at the friendly petron heco-derecho promo (which they still offer to this day). as per my car manual, the oil they gave me was spec naman.
until the day i sold her 10 years later, the pedestrian oil and filter i was using did not seem to give my engine any issues.

the "nagbabawas ng oil" may not be an oil issue. it is probably engine wear-and-tear issue, with symptoms being shown via the oil.

The engine is already leaking oil, thin oil wont serve your engine well

Paayos mo na makina nyan

It could probably be burning oil since there are no visible leaks? so 20w50 is thin?

20W50 was the "universal grade" in the 70s...
today's oil grades are a tad thinner... 40 ?

if one wanted to hide one's engine's defects, just until it is sold out of his hands, one would tend to use a thicker oil. i think.

If your engine oil leaks to the combustion chamber then thats more reason to have your engine overhauled

50 is thick and gets thicker as it gathers soot from combusting fuel

20 na ang thinnest oil for the engine, 30 is typical

For others 40 pa ang typical
