First oil change 1000KM, mobil1 synthetic or not?

[nangangamatis]

ipapa change oil ko na po yung Altis ko kasi naka 1000KM na ko. Pwede na ba gumamit agad ng synthetic oil? Nabasa ko kasi sa net dapat daw sa 5000KM bago mag synthetic pero sabi naman sakin ng casa mobil1 fully synthetic na daw agad para daw hindi na humalo yung ibang oil? Ano ba talaga?

[mazdamazda]

yup... ok lang na fully synthetic na.

just make sure na every 10K ang palit ng langis & every 5K ay palit ng oil filter lang.

[OTEP]

The Altis' engine does not really call for the use of synthetic fluids. It will happily live its life on regular changes of mineral based oil.

But if you like to use synthetic, you can do so as soon as you want to (even before 1,000kms).

[nangangamatis]

thanks! Ang nilagay nga pala nila Mobil1 0w-40. ok lang ba yun?

[mazdamazda]

0w-40 can be used for almost any application & temperature.

though using a 0w rated oil is overkill here in the Philippines.

[OTEP]

Ok lang naman though not really worth the extra cost for me. Of course, the dealer makes more $$$ by pushing synths than they do with mineral based oil.

Engines here are going past 100,000kms without needing overhauls while still using mineral based oils.

[j_avonni]

Synthetic or mineral - pareho lang iyan. Just remember that if you used mineral, it should be changed every 5,000 kms. For synthetic, every 10,000 kms but the oil filter must be replaced every 5,000 kms.

[OTEP]

Yung nga, pareho lang pero ang laki ng difference sa presyo (more than double).

And only the dealer says that you can extend drain intervals with synth. Not the vehicle manufacturer or the oil manufacturer.

For vehicles with extended (greater than 5,000kms.) intervals from the factory, the extension of the interval is due to the engine being designed for extended intervals as a whole. Not due to a change in fluid type.

btw... there are cheaper synthetic oils out there...

for the rav4, am using motul 10w-40. P1600/gallon.

for the 323, am using castrol magnatec 10w-40. P1000/gallon.

[nangangamatis]

Yung sa transmission oil kelan papalitan? synthetic na din ipapalit ko?

[userfriendly]

Castrol Magnatec is semi-synth. Castro RS yung synth, pero hindi pa true esther based oil like Motul and Mobil 1. If I am not mistaken Castrol RS and most other synth oils are still mineral (dino) based oil. Its just highly refined and a lot of additives are added to make it synth.

dapat sundin mo iyun factory recommended oil (mineral) sa car mo since 1,000 kilometers pa lang siya... sayang lang...

if this is the cost of the fully synth oil, then go for it. use fully synthetic.
but as per otep, i share his views. i really don't see the essence beyond the cost, which is why, kung budget is not a problem with you, then go for synthetic...if you are concerned somehow with the budget, go for mineral, but make sure it is changed regularly. hwag kang sosobra na sa 5k.

[wakin]

simple lang yan. if you have the budget go for FS if not mineral base na lang.

[yebo]

yes pwede na synthetic BUT you must still follow the 5000km change oil interval (instead of the 10000km interval when using synthetic oils) because you car is still UNDER WARRANTY. if you do not follow the change oil interval and your engine has a defect the dealer may not honor the warranty. so for me that will just be an unnecessary expense since you will still need to change oil every 5000km. switch to synthetic when the warranty is over na lang para sulit yung ibabayad mo.

no harm as long as you follow the minimum recommended maintenance schedule required in the cars manual.. well, except that your pocket will thin out faster when you use synthetic oil..

yeah both the same oil but synthetic can take more heat. the regular oil burns more than synthetic oil. thats why if you have synthetic your engine is cleaner. if you have a budget use fully synthetic if not you can use a castrol synthetic blend.

[OTEP]

But do keep in mind that regular commuter car engines don't go anywhere near the heat levels that would break down oil (even mineral based oils) unless you drive the vehicle in an overheated state.

Hoewever, it is still up to the consumer.

[boybi]

i don't know why many car owners want to use fully synthetic oils on their cars. synthetic oils will only benefit engines that are always revved to the redline, not a practical thing to do with the high cost of fuel nowadays.
