Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[number001]

that oil is very good... factory fill for high end cars brands.... you can't go wrong with that...

API SN/SM/SL/SJ
Viscosity Index 185
Total Base Number (ASTM D2896) 11.8
HTHS Viscosity, mPa•s * 150ºC, (ASTM D4683) 3.8

Thanks miko.

panu pala kung hx5 yung yung inilagay na oil tapos top-up hx7, minimal amount lang naman. masama ba yun? tia

[dvldoc]

Thanks miko.

That is a good oil, But there are plenty that are just as good for a lower price.

Nope, no problem yan sir. Lalo na at same brand pa.

Ano na nga pala viscosity ng HX7? 10w30 or 10w40?

Not a good idea to mix different types of oil even from the same brand.

[holdencaulfield]

yung pre-hx7, helix diesel plus 10w30? nakalimutan kong itanong sa inyo. since from HDP nag shift ako sa hx5, may sobra akong HDP. 4.5 needed ng 4ja1, yung .5 HDP kong sobra. sayang naman kasi kung bibili pako ng 1liter as per mekaniko ko rin. kaya lang mahirap na baka pulpol suggestion lang yun.

eh pano naman kung HDP ang top-up sa R3? yan na gagamitin ko sa next oil change ko may sobra pa rin akonh HDP.
thanks bro RY at sa mga sasagot!

You can mix oils, All it does is change the additive package ppm ratio. Mixing 10w40 with 15w40 will barely effect the overall viscosity of the oil. The mixing of oil thing is a old wives tale. It's best to stay in the Same API rating or you will reduce the overall additive package depending on the brand.

Mixing different weights will reduce the overall viscosity of the oil.

Puwede pa rin yan basta top-up lang.

Kindly list a few of them so I can check if there are some available locally.

Its quite difficult to source even the most common brands like Caltex and its Delo 400.

For Diesel engine, dvldoc mentioned before that the Zic UP is a good oil. comparable to Mobil TDT.

Still great oil, Mobil TDT does not have the rating either. They don't meet Cummins due to the Phosphorus content is to low.

The specs on Mobil which is almost double the cost are not much different.

Sir, I think HX5 is mineral and HX7 is synthetic oil blend. I'm not sure if there will be advert effect if you will mix those 2.

What do you guys suggest para sa GS CRDi? I guess sayang binili ko last OC ko nag mobil 1 TDT ako eh wala naman DPF at tinanggal ko cat. 440 ata bili ko sa cash and carry. Nabasa ko na okay yung delo 400? Pati zic up. Base oil doesnt matter since 5000km oci naman po ako. Just making sure i dont waste my money again on oil na hindi ko naman kailangan. Thanks po

sir, both are good oils. see above post for dvldoc's comments on zic up

[GunnerJam]

Ah yeah nabasa ko yun sir. I guess price and accessibility ang magiging deciding factors. Thanks sir

Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40

Mobil 1 0W-40 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Which is better? Seller says 0W-40 is for Euro cars. 5W-40 ESP is more suitable for Philippine conditions (ie dirty fuel, etc..)

I just plan to use this on my Toyota and Subaru engines. Subaru FB20 requires fully synthetic now.

thanks!

Mas mura pa rin ata Mobil 1 TDT 5w40. That would be better pa rin IMO. Pero between the 2 oils above, mas maganda speccs nung Mobil1 0w40. TBN 11.8, ash and phosphorus above 1000ppm.

Pang-long-life siya talaga.

It is labelled as " Emission System Protection " or ESP

Low ash content - Helps reduce particulate buildup in diesel particulate filters.

Low sulphur and phosphorous content - Helps reduce poisoning of gasoline catalytic converters.

my vote goes to 0w40... top of the line from mobil 1 range of products...

oil that holds up better under the high heat and oxygen present in the crankcase, a quality called “oxygen stability.” Since this means a reduction in the portion of the oil that is susceptible to oxidation, it actually reduces the acids in the crankcase.

though the zinc and phosphorus are not high as compared to previous line up,, mobil 1 has those ashless additives... which makes it retain TBN longer...

0W-40 cost P50 less than the 5W-40 ESP. I guess I will have to return the ESP. Also the 0W-40 has passed a lot for tests (ie. API, etc..). The 5W-40 only passed that "stringent" MB (benz) 229.51

I'm really annoyed at Mobil for making such confusing products.

depende kasi sa market...
the ESP are suited for EURO type of cars and consumers who are super concern about emissions and the environment...
while the 0w40 are generally regarded as all around performer...

dahil global leader and mobil sa retail nang engine oils, madami sila line up for different markets and different cultural preferences by consumers...
