There is this GS oil and now S-oil. I wonder how does it fare with GS oil in terms of its pricing.

My brother just bought a brand new innova diesel. Sabi ng SA sa kanya pwede daw up to 10k change oil kung fully synthetic. How true is this ? I think it's BS since whatever oil is used on diesel engines, madali pa rin dumumi at lumapot.

Ang advise naman sa akin using Top1 SDO every 7k change oil. Mdyo uneasy din siya sa 10k lalo na at diesel engine.
IMHO, if the car is equipped with a intercooler/turbo better install a catch can. The catch can prevents the oil from "pooling" in the intercooler and going into the turbo. It also collects water vapor present in the engine. This is especially needful if the vehicle is not subjected to long drives. Just make sure to place the catch can in a cool place for it to effectively do its job.![]()

Saan may available yan sir? CJ-4 na yan baka hindi compatible sa diesel engine natin.

sorry late reply brother. i was out of the country (at sea) for 4 months. I believe the transaction re: dmax filter happened sometime back in July or something, i was already in Shanghai that time hence i couldn't take care of it anymore. my deepest apologies my friend. please contact me 0922-85-22-936 so that i can arrange for replacement at no cost. worry not i'll take care of everything. just ping me the exact baldwin filter part number you need for the dmax. most of my dmax clients, the LF689 is a perfect fit for them, this might have been different from yours as different engine codes.
i have heard same stories like this from other members, kesyo hindi oem kesyo hindi vic, the mechanic refuses to use the baldwin, unang tingin kasi kesyo malaki daw etc etc. perfect example, the case with a celerio club member, she brought in a BT223 to be used for her celerio, mechanic from the casa said its too big daw? another member of celerio club phil, BT223 as well, brought in his celerio to a NON Casa shop, BT223 fit like a glove.![]()
sometimes is also marketing strategy for the casa, less parts sold from their end lower profit margin, heavy duty oil filter designed for extended oil change interval does not work to their advantage. oo nga naman, extended oil change interval = less visit to the casa means less profit for them.i've had my jazz for 4 years now, only twice brought to the stealership, until now its in tip top shape. no issues whatsoever.
i just follow the checklist when having its PMS done.
Bumping this thread up with a PDF reference from API.org pertaining to the ratings stated in the oil that you buy

hindi ko alam yan sir....
BTT:
Btw, meron na motul crdi specific sa ace. may post kasi dati na wala na doon.
Been using valvoline durablend 10w40 in my ride, (the one stated in this pdf)
paired with bosch oil filter, might be sticking to this combo for a while.
Not into extended oci, since semi synth lang yung durablend,
nakakapanatag lang sa icip na gumagamit ka ng Quality oil and filter,
kahit mag rev happy paminsan minsan, well Protected naman.
How old is this test? Some of the packaging and API rating have since changed and upgraded. Don't know if this would affect the outcome of a test if it were conducted again today.
Surprised with Royal Purple. I thought they were just merely marketing gimmick. This test proved my impressions wrong.
Disappointed with Mobil1 FS 0W-40. Now this is the one company that is good at marketing. Terrible results from the test.
One must look also at the "testing procedure and equipment" that was used to compare the oils, take a look at this BITOG thread:
