    i think red line oil is one of the best oil you can buy, 600 petot sa banawe, street racers use this oil.

    Thanks bro, I'll make more research about castrol. Since mahal sya e pwede ko ng I-skip yung FS nila. Magnatec, dahil, claimm nila na naninikit yung oil lalo sa mga delicate parts malamang na prone nga sya sa sludge!

    Very informative bro! Thanks, research-research pa.
    Mukhang ok na rin yung mobil, pero mostly 5w/10w30 ang ok, sasabihin na naman ng casa "off spec".
    Anyway, magti-three years naman na yung asx ko kaya pwede na akong bumitaw sa PMS nila since mahal na rin yung 40k PMS.

    Thanks, thanks...

    ^try mag1 FS oil (5W30) pegged at P520 per quart & the mineral equivalent should cost you P330 per quart

    more slippery or less sticky or thin oils are more fuel efficient

    mag1 oils are available at ace hardware

    You cant actually judge a good oil by visual or sight testing nor by its unique/good-sounding name. It is best to start with eng oils recommended in your eng manual what API or ACEA rating your engine requires. From there you can now choose brands that suit your needs & budget. It is also wise to check each the technical data sheet/specifications of the oil ( usually posted in their dedicated website) just so to know the individual "fingerprint" of such oil if it really lives to its claims. But the true judgement for a good engine oil is oil analysis (virgin oil analysis vs used oil analysis). Only then can you tell if your chosen engine oil is really a "good oil". The adage "your engine oil is as good as your oil filter" holds true in most of todays engines so use also a good quality oil filter...

    Just a waste of money if your not into racing IMHO as this oils are designed to be drained after a lung-busting high rpm race & not on a daily drive that rarely sees track action...
