change oil

[The10thBEE]

pag ma-itim na sa dip stick? sa dip stick kasi kadalasan brown pa ang oil pero ang itim na pala pag drain. safe rin ba kung sundin na lang yung 7000kms (blue ng shell oil).

Depende kung anong brown ang sinasabi mo sa dipstick, sa napkin na puti mo siya tingnan at kung sa palagay mo ay abnormal na ang kulay ay palitan mo na ang langis, use your instinct ika nga! Sundin mo lang iyong 7000kms, pero kung araw-araw mong ginagamit, subukan mong sundin ang every 3 months na change oil.

eto ang dahilan ng ibang tao sa maruming langis:
- nagtititipid (mahal ang oil and filter) bumiili na lang ng pagkain
- walang oras dalhin sa talyer
- walang oras sa DIY change oil
- hindi pa maitim ang langis
- pagod galing sa trabaho parati, at iba pa.

mga bro, ano nga pala ang code no. ng vic oil filter para sa '96 civic vti? may nakaka-alam ba dito?

btw, ok ba ang castrol motor oils? specifically iyong semi synth nila?

bro, di ko rin alam code ng VIC oil filter sa oto ko. i'm just hoping na alam ito ng tindahan (and they should).

Huh?!

Black oil means the oil is doing its job suspending the dirt in your engine. I'd be very worried if you drove 10000 km on oil that still looked fresh.

Just follow the recommended change interval...if anything they're actually a little too short. Even your ordinary mineral oil will have no problems unchanged after 10,000 km, such is the high quality of motor oil nowadays over 20 years ago.

ford explorer sportrac... one of my dream cars. haay sarap mangarap, hehe. how's the FC on that thing dude? magkano na kya used value ng mga yan?

on a car like that, you can use 20w-50 or HDEOs and the engine will just keep on running. tibay, those amercan V6s. any grade except those 0w-40s (racing oil too thin) will do just fine and won't impact your FC very much.

yes bro i know that its good when engine oil turns black, it just makes me feel better when i change oil a thousand KM earlier.

you should only the the 5w30 oil. if it is available naman then follow the recommended viscosity index given by the manufacturer. you will feel the sluggishness of the engine if you use a 40 weight oil plus lalakas ka sa gas.

the 5w30 oil will be able to take any kind of driving you throw at it. we've seen RP's 5w30 used on supercharged bmw's without any problems so it can take anything you throw at it.

sir speedy ask rin sana ko opinion from you, ok lang ba 10W40 sa GLi ko? thanks!

[speedyfix]

10w40 is fine on your car.

[meledson]

sir speedyfix,

I will be at your shop for change oil next week. di ko pa alam which day, pero malamang Wed. 2002 Altis 1.6E

Mabilis lang po ba? :D TIA

[speedyfix]

ok no problem if it's just an oil change it should not take longer than 30-40 minutes

[enzo18]

assuming an oil can last 15,000 kms before changing, does the oil filter need to be changed in between or it can also do the job in 15,000 kms without replacement?

Sabay mo na lang bro sa oil change. Pwede pa iyan.

[speedyfix]

i wouldn't push an oil to 15000 kms here in the philippines. the dirt and conditions here are way different than abroad. 10k kms should be about the max even for a good full syn oil.

[baludoy]

ok ba ang bosch oil filters? it's surprisingly cheaper than the vic branded ones

[speedyfix]

i trust vic. we've been using them for years without problems
