Best Diesel Engine Oil and Replacement Oil Filter for Isuzu MU-x?

[torque&pepper]

This is primarily for reference purposes especially for those who will opt to have their MUx serviced outside casa.

For engine oil it should be 5w30. Same with chevrolet trailblazer.

Never use 10w40 or 15w40 for these two model.

Para sa oil filter the best is baldwin and some fleetguard (depends if "product of usa or made in usa/asia/europe)

If you dont have any choice just go to thunder banawe.

vic and bosch are cheap/poor replacement filters.

The recommended oil and other consumables are in the owners manual. Them intervals are also there. I suggest your read the manual to further your understanding of your vehicle.

* StockEngine: Yes sir, the manual in fact specified oil brands and corresponding SAE ranges that can be used. But there was no mention of fully synthetic engine oils that are of CJ-4 classification. The MUx only requires CF grade oils (as per under the hood) but if one opts to have their MUXs serviced outside casa which is cheaper and thus goes for fully synthetic oils, will use of CJ-4 oils be detrimental to the engine? Of course it can be a waste of money since the MUX does not have a DPF, but will CJ-4 oils be too much of a good thing?

[crazy_boy]

5w30 CI-4 rated oil should be more than enough protection for the mu-x, sir.

[StockEngine]

Most mineral oil with proper api diesel classifications will work.

If you want extra protection of course use rubber...jokes aside... by all means pwede naman fully synthetic.

Shell Helix Utra diesel oils or Rotella/Rimula fs are excellent.
Zic x9
Caltex Edge
Mobil1 or Delvac1

The above list are some of the highend oils.

30 weight seems too thin for diesels in our climate. Also remember these are modern diesels with multiple fuel injections per cylinder per cycle. Fuel dilution could be a factor earlier in the life of the oil. By the time you change your oil your 30 weight might have sheared to a 20 weight oil. Not so sure that's safe for a diesel. No doubt 30 weight will give you better fuel economy and maybe all around performance, but you might have to change your oil much earlier than if a 40 weight oil were used.

I think 5w40 or 10w40 will be the best choice.para sakin too thick ang 15w40 mas matagal magflow yung oil eh sa start up mo kailangan ng agad agad na daloy ng oil kasi 75% of engine wear ay nangyayari sa start up

+1 totally on this sir. Yun din ang main concern ko as to why I started this thread. The oil being used by the casa, Isuzu Multi Z, is rated SAE 10W-30. Might not be good enough with the lifestyle of my car. Daily short trip of 3Km to work with only 3-4 minutes of travel. Di pa halos tumataas engine temp tapos na ang biyahe.

I used 5w40 Shell Helix Ultra Diesel FS on my accent diesel, and 5w40 Petron Rev-X All Terrain on my dad's Toyota Fort. No issues encountered so far, satisfied with the performance.

I guess these oils will do on your MU-X.

Year 2016 na.

Bolahan na usapan hot temperature/climate = thicker oil.

Palabnaw na palabnaw na recommendation majority car manufacturer. Sa pagkaka-alam ko ang "universal viscocity" sa diesel engine 10w30 at 5w30 sa gasoline.

5w40 at 10w40 pwede pa naman kaso doon na ako sa maganda "flow"

Makadyot at pigil takbo pag malapot.

Eh napahiya ka kasi sa pinagmamalaki mo "follow the mitsubishi engineer"

Ayan bigla mabebenta na sa nissan. hahahahah

Yes 30 weight will flow better. It will also give better FC. Still, a thinner oil will shear faster from fuel dilution than a thicker oil. Which will affect your drain interval if you spend a lot of time in traffic. Turbo diesels also lose quite a bit of oil from evaporation from the crank case. you can see this deposited in your intercooler. Thinner oil will evaporate more quickly. I tried 30 weight once, I had to add oil more frequently.

It's year 2016. There are ways to get your point across without being abrasive. This is one of the biggest problems in this country. People think if they put someone down, sikat sila and it helps them somehow. I can't imagine how. Remember negativity breeds negativity.

Sorry if nadamay ka sa magaspang pagkasabi ko.

Dati kasi matagal na debate thicker = better. Tapos meron pa magyayabang na keyso mas alam daw ng mitsubishi engineer kaya 15w40 na lang old school diesel 4d56. (tapos after ilan days biglang may news sa panloloko ng mitsubishi japan tapos after ilan days mabebenta na sa nissan)

Pero syempre pag meron innovation eh meron mga changes.. Sinimulan ko year 2008 sa L300 10w30 kasi masira man ok lang. Pero aba ang ganda ng takbo at walang nangyari sira sa L300, Mga ilan years din at nung nakapante na ako sinunod ko na sa mga pang negosyo fleet FB body, Adventure, Innova, Montero. Hanggang 5w30 walang problema.

Tapos dati ko pa iniisip bakit ang isuzu casa sila nagsimula gumamit ng 10w30 besco eh old school diesel ang crosswind. Di ba dapat 15w40. Pero hiyang na hiyang sa crosswind 10w30.

Ang nagkaproblema isuzu nung hindi nila inabisuhan mga trooper diesel owner. Yan ang hindi pwede malapot na oil. Jan sila naleche.

[cliford27]

Totaly magkaiba ang diesel at petro engine.10w30 yan ang universal engine oil para sa petrol sa mga tropical countries.pero pag luma na petrol engine allowed na iadjust to higher viscosity like 10w40.pag nilagyan mo ng wieght 30 ang diesel which is very high compression and heat,madali mag shear at dumumi ang oil nyan.kahit komting byahe lang.Kaya konti nalang ang proteksyon nya sa metal parts mo.lalabnaw na yan.ang positive side lng ng malabnaw na oil ay tipid sa gas

Pag short trips considered mas masama ang epektp sa makina kasi hindi masyado umiinit ang oil kaya mas marami naiipon na moisture,water vapor sa loob kaya madaling magdegrade ang oil.dapat ibyahe mo din sya long distance once in a while mejo birahin mo para mailabas ng makina ang mga naiipon na carbon at iba pang dumi

Short trip Hind umiinit?

For example 1hr short trip dahil sa traffic, bgc-megamall.

* cliford27: Agree totally on that sir, which is also one reason why I started this thread. The Isuzu Multi-Z 10W-30 of the dealership may not provide adequate protection for my MUX the daily travel of which is mostly short. As in 3-minutes-one-way short. Lately I've deliberately made some side-trips (still darn short) of 10 km before I go home in the afternoon.

I'm considering some readily available synthetics such as Delo 5W-40 et al, but almost all of them are CJ-4 classified, whereas the MUX merely requires CH-4 to CI-4 oils. The casa won't allow me to bring my own oil even if it's superior to theirs. Haay...
