help! oil change!

**joel_galvez2000** · September 25th, 2009 12:37 AM

Mag papa change oil po ako this oct. Gamit ko dati shell helix super,gusto ko po palitan sana ng brand and grade! Gusto ko po sana gamitin valvoline,ok lang ba gumamit lower viscosity grade gaya ng 15w-40? Honda accord 1997-98 po tsikot ko? Any other suggestions?

much better if you can use the same viscosity, but of other brands. Mobil is a good brand, imho.

helix super is 20w-50 and it is too thick for your engine.

a 10w-40 or even a lower viscosity i think is much better for your accord.

Yun po kasi recomend sa manual. Nahihirapan kasi sya mag start-up pag malamig makina.

10w-30 are ideal. I used 5w-20 on my accord. 20w-50 are way way way too much, you are not only wasting too much gas but makes your engine work's harder that it should. Trash out that oil...

How about this Mobil Super 1000 15W 40 on the Ace hardware store cost only 805.00 / Gallon . It says for petrol ang Lpg car.

joel,

yun ang cause ng hard starting mo too thick kasi ang 20w-50

much better na sundin mo suggestion ni v6dreamer

speed,

para sa akin bad ang experience ko sa mineral at semi syn ng mobil

nung nag-adjust ako ng valve clearance nangitim ang rocker arm at iba pa.

kaya balik ako sa helix plus

Tnx bro! Bakit kaya yun ang recomended ng honda sa manual na 20w-50? Can you recomend any brand? Yun below 1k lang budget ko sa 4L na gagamitin ko po? Thanks!
