change oil

[s_quilicot]

mejo naguluhan lang ako what oil to use, meron mga nagsusuggest ng RP, Motul, etc.
I'm not a racer naman or anything, I just use my car for work and some gimiks but madalang naman yung mahabang byahe, usually, work-home lang everyday. Are shell/petron oils ok or better ba if mga RP ang gamitin? I mean, if RP ba ang gamitin, mas tatagal pa than 5000kms ang next change oil?

Kung RP/Motul ang sagot nyo (which I bet is more expensive than gas station oils) isa pang question, what if gamitan ko ng kalahating RP/Motul tapos kalahating gas station oil para mas mura...ok ba yon???

you cant maximize the effect of the better oil.

konti lang naman po ang difference.

RP will last 10k kms or a year. if having to go to the shop less and using the better oil is more important for you then it's worth it. if not then just stick to what you're doing now.

don't mix the oils.

thanks for the answers!

actually you don't need to buy, all you have to do is have your car serviced at any gas station then when it comes to oil filter, just tighten it by hand (some use sand paper but i preferred rubber (interior) or lobo / balloon - and you will no longer need that oil filter wrench next time tipid diba?

same thing with fuel filter - hand tighten lang rin. tried and tested na yan - sa lakas ng vibration ng 4ja-1 but if you still like to have one vlad is right dami sa mga DIY shops, ACE, HANDYMAN, BLADE.

hand tight lang yung bago.

at any hardware (ace hardware) store's meron or auto shops (blade, concorde). regarding the oil filter wrench mas prefer ko yung rope type kesa dun sa chain type kasi sa chain type commonly nayuyupi yung oil filter pag di ka sanay sa pag tanggal ng oil filter. ito yung may kadena ng bike. universal naman lahat ng oil filter wrench na binebenta kaya no need to worry.

and try not to spill the used oil, dapat may paglalagyan ka nito kasi nakaka sira sa eco system pag yan ay kumalat at tinapon lang sa kung saan, alam ko pwede pa magamit ang used oil natin for strengthening metals, usually ginagamit ko to sa mga t-bars and other structural metals para pampatibay, malaki kasi ang carbon content.

and overnight oil drain gingawa ko para bumaba lahat ng used oil, mas maganda pa initan muna yung makina before mag change oil para mas madali bumaba yung langis.

and regarding dun sa knot and washer sa may oil pan drain outlet yun lang di ko alam kung san nakakabili ng ganun mga bossing??

sa other car forum si pinoyk20 09173830646 ng hondaclubphil nakabili ako ng washer for oil drain plug at 25pesos each, ginamit ko sa honda VTI at nagamit ko rin sa toyota revo since magkasize lang ang drain plug nila, kaya pag order ko ng oil sa kanya sabay na rin ang washer.

sir, pa recommend naman pls ng RP oil for my car (lancer gt-a '08)? manual says 5w20 yung viscosity (tama ba term?)

also how much kung 4 liters oil lang bilhin ko? (no labor, no filter)

meron din po ba dealer in the marikina area?

thanks.

[max-o]

The 5w40 is ok. It wont harm your engine. Although, when I used Shell's 5w40 on my dad'd BMW, it lost about a litter after around 4000 kms. No leaks and less than 20,000 kms on the odometer. Another tsikoteer, ( I think it's Niky) also had a similar experience with this oil.

If you can, use 5w30 or 10w30 energy conserving oil on your next oil change. I recommend Royal Purple. It gave me better FC compared to Caltex Havoline Energy.

hello guys,kung walang leak or hindi naghalo yung oil and water san kaya napunta yung oil?cause i also have same experience using shell`s oil.

[speedyfix]

ingat sa pagbutas ng oil filter before twisting it off. minsan nasisira yung kinakapitan ng filter because of the impact of punching the hole.

erick_214, i'll need a sample of the oil filter before i can let you know how much it is... the oil is 500/qt so x7 mo nalang yun. the labor for the oil change is normally 200 lang unless double oil filter sya in which case it's slightly more. bale add the price of the filter nalang to the total

H1Tman, i'm not sure it will... depends din on the engine but if there are no leaks then it's possible that your engine is eating some oil na.

magister, you're probably better off with the 5w30 oil. i doubt even casa carries the 5w20 which is what they say to use on the new eclipse, gas pajero, etc... that oil is 500/qt.

[max-o]

cant find any leaks and no mixing of oil and water so engine is eating up oil? no black or bluish smoke.

[xmb]

.. ok lang po ba gumamit ng RP oil kahit na kaka 1K ko palang at papa PMS palang po? toyota avanza po 1.5G AT ride ko .. tnx

[speedyfix]

yup, on gas engines right after breakin it's fine na to use RP oil
