Will 5w30, 10w30, and 10w40 have any noticeable effect in terms of fuel consumption?
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.
Mga bosing! Need help. Ano b papalitan ng kasa pag unang change oil plng ng innova?magkano gagastusin.. Innova J/manual/diesel..
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
ok yan idemitsu yun gamit ko extreme touring 5w40 fully syn. tanda ko 1200 per 4 liters sa may amuze autoworks sa west ave. last year pa price na yan. nag search ako sa net and ya din ata gamit ng rotary engines ng mazda. kung sa mas mahal na fully syn na oil red line OK. 550 per liter
you can also use BARDHAL fully synthetic oils..
just did an oil change on my vehicle... i used their SynPulsar-M 5w-40....

API SM/CF
ACEA A3/B4-04
ACEA C3-04

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....
FYI just got Idemitsu 5w30 from a Unioil branch. I'm wondering why the price is surprisingly low!
Just goes to show you HONDA is overpricing usOriginally Posted by kotiko
Bumili na rin ako nito nung isang araw. Idemitsu 5w30 for P1200/4L. Di kumpara sa Toyota, P650/liter!
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..
