where to buy reasonably priced synthethic engine oil?

[pdc2]

guys, i will be changing oil in a few weeks. noticed that fully-synthetic oils in gas stations are relatively pricey compared to shops and hardware stores...any recommended shops and fully synthetic oil as well

thanks.

handyman, ace hardware.

pero tama observation mo. before i usually buy oil sa gaso (although havoline energy lang). then i noticed na mas mababa ang price per liter na nakita ko sa makati supermarket sa alabang. since then dun na ko bumibili.

If you'll be using Mobil 1, I suggest CPM muffler haus sa G. araneta, kung gusto mo sa kanila ka na rin pa-service. Authorized dealer sila ng Mobil 1 products

singit lang....is there really a big change in car engine performance when synthetic oil is used instead of regular oil? what changes i'm expecting?

Hindi ba mabigla ang engine that is using regular oil for 5 years then suddenly will be using synthetic?

hindi kaya magkaroon ng oil leak sa mga gasket when using synthetic oil...

pasensya na po kayo sa tanong ko...bago pa lang po ako sa gasolina...

answers:

a) ala. although it would improve oil consumption and lengthen oil change intervals.
b) hindi naman siguro
c) gano kataas na mileage ng oto mo.
d) teka...teka... gaso ba tanong mo o oil? :lol:

a) ala. although it would improve oil consumption and lengthen oil change intervals. it will also increase your financial tolerance dahil ang laki ng kamahalan ng synth sa mineral. there will also be a minor smoother humm sa engine mo dahil mas madulas ang synth eh.
b) hindi naman siguro
c) gano kataas na mileage ng oto mo.
d) teka...teka... gaso ba tanong mo o oil? :lol::

happy gilmore
50km

mas pino ba ang engine sound?

i meant ngayon pa lang ako gumagamit ng kotse..... for 4 years kc puro auv. tnx

[1D4LV]

pwede pa havo energy dyan. hindi pa tatagas. considered as low mileage pa rin yan eh. mas pino sound tsaka may noticable improved fuel consumption.

i agree with sir happy_gilmore, mag semi-synthetic ka muna para makapag-adjust ang makina mo...

murang engine oil? mas mura nga sa mga auto supply at hardware stores...meron pa rin naman gas stations diyan na nagbebenta ng murang engine oil :roll: :mrgreen:

[1D4LV]

o kaya kay sir chieffy pare. nagbibigay yan ng discount. hehehehehe. :wink:

[julian]

d2 sa may sta rosa/cabuyao/calamba, may murang bilihan ng oil---salbu ang pangalan ng auto supply. but take note na mura compared sa ibang auto supplies d2, pero mas mahal compared sa banawe pricing.

sa may cash and carry. may separate stores over there, they sell motor oils

Merong pong line ng synthetics ang Petron at reasonable prices. Just visit your nearest Petron sation.

I've tried fully synthetic and I've tried synthetic blend.
In my opinion, the price differential between these and
mineral based oil is not justifiable in a practical point
of view. Mas lalo na ngayon na sobra ang itinaas ng
presyo ng gasoline at lubricants na rin.
So habang mataas ang presyo ng motor oils, bumalik
uli ako sa mineral based oil. Di naman ganun kalaki ang
difference sa performance at tutal naman after 6 months
change oil ka na naman din...
20W/50 API SL, ayus na yun. Sa panahong ito, dapat maging
practical...

Ako ever since fully synthetic gamit ko, I notice talaga yung fuel consumptions at smooth hmmmm ng engine. Medyo magastos lang talaga

If you don't drive your car hard, race or use them regularly in poor environments, or if the owner's manual doesn not specifically tell you to use full synthetic oils, forget it, its not worth it.

Ultimately, the biggest benefit of full synthetic oils is that they can operate at higher temperatures without chemically breaking down / boiling.

compute na lang kayo kung sulit ang semi-syn or fully syn sa ride nyo(daily driven)...
ako di pa tapos sa ginagawa ko pero malamang magbalik ako sa semi-syn...very little ang na-gain kong fuel economy(using RON95 fuel) when i switched to fully synthetic engine oil pero makakatipid naman ako sa oil filter...compute pa ako... :|

mineral vs. semi-syn/blend vs. fully syn

consider the following:
1. labor cost-CASA, DIY or gas stations
2. oil filter-replacement or OEM
3. fuel savings-km/ltr and cost per liter

share nyo na lang sa amin :wink:

By the way, my mechanic recommended me to stick to just one brand of engine oil and one brand / type of fuel for your car. This is so that the engine will get used to the oil / gas you use, and it takes several cycles of full-tank fill-up and oil changes before you get any noticeable benefits for your engine.
