    LOL. of course there's a difference it's one half the rated power like the difference between a 100hp car and a 50hp car. the 50hp car is smaller and cheaper

    same w/ the 0.5hp a/c it's smaller and cheaper. smaller wiring requirements. but only good for tiny rooms

    Be it as it may. Will never go below 1HP for air-conditioning, tiny room and all.

    On my 2014 Vios. I use the shell yellow colored bottle for 8 years now. Since nilabas ko sa casa ang PMS last month need to change valve cover gasket kasi may leak na. Ang linis pa ng engine ko. Regularly changes 5k kms or every 4 to 5 months.

    i think i posted this before. 16yo engine. nothing but mineral oil since brand-new. leaky valve cover gasket so super dirty outside, but super clean inside then i sold the car w/ zero engine issues after cleaning up the leaky oil w/ a lot of brake cleaner

    at the end of the day, ibebenta mo rin yan. it's not like you're gonna keep it forever all that expensive boutique oil won't benefit you at all

    linis ah. what mineral oil is that? every when ang oil change? odometer reading? daily route? what car is that? ever had engine flush prior to this?

    by the way, no one here recently mentioned boutique oils so I dunno what's that about.

    sa 2kd toyota i chuck in whatever cheapest decent oil i can find (i.e. mineral) na spec

    but i had a direct injection car before. i did not take the risk because of possible low speed pre ignition at coking up the intake valves. so i used synthetic exclusively to the point bumili pa ako ng botique direct injection specific na low calcium oil

    boutique oil may refer to siguro specialty oils tulad ng kunwari high mileage, cng, seal restorer, sama mo motul 300v na wala o halos walang detergents etc. sometimes created by smaller manufacturers kaya medyo kay premium though not always

    The general definition of boutique motor oils are those that are really premium/expensive; Amsoil, Royal Purple, Liqui Moly, Mobil 1, Valvoline, etc.

    I literally just bought a gallon (4 quarts) of Amsoil OE for only 1.9k in shopee.

    I'm under the impression that some people here may have confused Fully Synthetic oil for Boutique Oil

Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?
