hey fLaKeZ, san ka sa cavite?

oks lang ang havoline formula kung namamahalan ka sa energy. buy ka sa handyman mas mura, P460 yata yung formula na 4 liters then paservice mo sa mga caltex gas station.

dito nga pala kami sa gen tri at meron kami mechanic pero on weekends lang availability and kilangan schedule kapag may papagawa. for change oil eh sa caltex gas station na lang. don't overfill nga pala and make sure that their air has a filter or wag mo na lang pahinginan para pwersahin madrain ang oil. also, they will usually offer you to use engine flush. it's up to you... ako i don't. i'm not comfortable with the contents of those engine flush. ipunin mo na lang sobrang oil every oil change then next time yun gamitan mo pang flush.

Ako pag dating sa oil change 3k miles or 3months which ever comes first. Pag synthetic naman 5k miles.

FLakeZ :

Ang engine flush naman eh ginagawa kasi chances are, when your engine was new it delivered the power and fuel efficiency it was designed for. But now, as your engine accumulates miles, things are happening that are adversely affecting its performance. Slowly but surely, your engine is gathering harmful deposits that will eventually cost you money.

Even though you may follow a routine service schedule, your driving conditions may be far from routine. Lalu na atin diyan sa pinas Stop and go driving, maalikabok, prolonged periods of idling, short trips that don't allow your engine time to warm up, the ingestion of airborne dirt tulad diyan sa maynila, fuel dilution, water condensation, and oxidized oil will eventually cause the formation of a thick, gummy deposit known as sludge. Settling throughout the engine, sludge will clog oil passages, restricting the flow of oil to vital engine parts, especially in the upper valve train areas.
