    anung kotse sir?

    kung yung sa altis, dapat every 5k km. masyadong magastos pag-every 3months change oil. imho.

    nakaka 6months ata ako before magchangeoil, i use RP oil that is good for mostly 7k kms, but im replacing it at 5k km mark.

    and afaik, para sa city, every 5k km ata ang change oil filter and oil top up. pero ang change oil is at every 10k km. though im not sure

    naitanong ko yan sa service advisor..every 5k km daw pwede pms..kung synthetic oil gamit mo check up din after 5k km pero dadagdagan lang ulit ng synthetic oil, siguro konti lang tapos linisin din ang air filter yata..

    dati once a year lang change oil ko. short trips lang kasi ako daily. so I reverted back
    to ordinary oil para 2X a year. para di masyado mabigat you can opt for semi- synthetic na lang. pero if you have the budget go synthetic

    mine, i usually follow the 10kkm PMS altho pricey i'm using fully synth oil but change oil filter & top up every 5kkm...i'm a distance traveled PMS follower than time interval (no. of months) coz how can you know the trouble/s of you're rig if you only utilized it once in awhile...

    but those using mineral oil, better to follow the 5kkm or earlier change oil for added protection and assurance bcoz of lower grade oil...HTH

    I use Motul H-Tech Fully Synthetic (just a little over P2,000 for 4 liters), I only change once a year. I don't use the car heavily though, in a week siguro less than 200km ang byahe. Wala naman problems with that setup.

    I don't think changing oil every 3 months is necessary unless you use the car heavily everyday, especially kung fully synthetic ang gamit. At most siguro every 6 months.

    this is a statement from an oil technician abroad, i asked him about the real deal re. oil change frequency: (synthetic oil to mga pare ha)

    "one year, the oil can handle 10,000 miles and more."

    i mentioned basically how the average filipino drives. (traffic sa city, out of town drives once in a while)

    sadly, di ko natanong yung filter thing. but i will, very soon. tawagan ko na lang ulit..

    Need suggestion halimbawa yong car di masyadong nagagamit within 6 months paandar lang 3x a week then some ikot-ikot lang in subdivision. Ano ang tamang sundin sa pag change oil running time or kilometer or monthly basis or depende sa quality ng langis na makikita sa dipstick?
    4ja1 engine older model. more power to all...TIA

    know what oil your ride has in it. when using mineral oil, it is 5000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first. in fully synthetic oil, it is 10000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.

    now, car manuals always recommend to follow whichever comes first. i personally follow the distance (kilometers) rather than time (months) when changing oil.

    I also follow the km travelled not time (months). change oil every 5,000 km using semi synthetic.

    in a way it is correct. once you put it in the engine, it gets contaminated. contaminated oil gets "spoiled". for storage purposes, it is adequate, however, once the car gets used again, kelangan na sya palitan.

    it falls under severe driving, contrary to common sense.

    too much fuel dilution, and the oil doesn't get the chance to reach operating temps (no chance to get rid of the fuel and/or other contaminants)

    you'll have to drain and replace the oil sooner.

    an alternative is to use it regularly for long drives. going out of town on weekends will help. masaya pa!
