    Will 5w30, 10w30, and 10w40 have any noticeable effect in terms of fuel consumption?

    Usually, energy conserving oils for gas engines are 5w30 or 10w30. Pero maliit lang yang difference. But since halos same lang price, worth it IMO as long as you use a good oil filter as well.

    Per my experience, when I switched to 5w30 and 10w30 from 5w40, the car did save some gas. Not sure how big. Forgot the numbers already. Just make sure that the oil you buy is API rated as energy conserving oil. Its right on the API logo.

So far ang mga napansin ko, mas tahimik ngayon makina halos di ko na madinig sa sobrang tahimik hehe at halos wala din vibration sa dashboard at manibela compared sa dati kong oil which is shell helix mineral yung dilaw almost 1k ang 4L. Pansin ko mas tumipid din sa konsumo ng gas. Leading lubricant ang Idemitsu sa Japan at gamit ng ibat ibang casa like toyota honda mercedes pati ata mazda at nissan. Di naman siguro gagamitin ng honda toyota mercedes etc ito as their oem oil kung di ito "kahit papano" ay ok :D
    Mura pa.

    I use this oil as well. This is a very good alternative since most synthetic oils are priced above 2k pesos.

    Remember it's not all about synthetic vs semi-synthetic vs regular oil. It's also about the oils ratings for a new rebuilt engine I would not be running anything less than CH-4/SL or CI-4/SL in a gas engine if you want maximum protection. ZIC makes some good oils as well as Motul

    I'm leaning toward ZIC for a good low cost oil.

    ZIC A is a Group II and Group III blend.

    ZIC A+ is a Group III synthetic

    ZIC XQ is a Group III synthetic

    you can also use BARDHAL fully synthetic oils..
    just did an oil change on my vehicle... i used their SynPulsar-M 5w-40....
    fully synthetic oil with
    API SM/CF
    ACEA A3/B4-04
    ACEA C3-04
    BMW Long life – 04 (for 5W-30, 5W-40)
    Porsche (5W-30, 5W-40)
    VW 502.00/505.00 (5W-XX)
    VW 505.01 (5W-30, 5W-40)
    MB 229.51 (5W-XX)
    MB 229.51 Approved (5W-40)...
    you can google it (Gasoline Engine Lubricants)..
    Bought it at 55-C P.tuazon price is 390 per liter... been getting 6km/l on idle with aircon compared to my previous 5km/l with aircon at idle using TOP1 semi synthetic 10w-40..
    (3.5 v6 engine kasi na pajero GDI)....

    comaprable din ito sa performance nang Zic oils... the only difference i think is their country of origin.. zic is korea, bardhal is USA. Zic has VHVI while bardhal propriety technology is Polar Attraction....

    I'm surprised nobody is mentioning Honda VTEC-LEV engine oil.

    FYI just got Idemitsu 5w30 from a Unioil branch. I'm wondering why the price is surprisingly low!

    Bumili na rin ako nito nung isang araw. Idemitsu 5w30 for P1200/4L. Di kumpara sa Toyota, P650/liter!

    Yes. Mura siya coz they don't have so much overhead expense like advertising. Yung castrol for example grabe commercial and marketing kaya mahal.

    the more na dapat ma promote ang mga good and quality products that are less pricey than those commonly advertised... nagiging parang culture kasi ang pananaw of most drivers that what they see in ADs and TV's are the best products.. unfortunately that is rarely the case..
