Thanks a lot, may bro used to maintain this before kasi but abroad siya now .
Ok lang yun but I agree with the guys here, change mo to helix diesel plus after 5K. Diesel engine oils have a higher detergent content in them compared to gasoline engine oils. Ok lang naman kahit anong langis ilagay mo basta tama yung API & SAE ratings para sa engine mo. CF 10W40 yata yung helix super. Ang problema lang pag gasoline engine oil ang gamit mo dudumi agad ang makina (due to the lower detergent content). This will be bad for your engine.

BTW the quality/lubricity of an oil has nothing to do with it being mineral or synthetic. You can trust API/SAE ratings but be wary of everything else written on the bottle. I trust my friends and my mechanic more than the label.
