    In my personal preference, I would go with regular motor oil with 5000 km oil changes.

    At the oil change intervals, you don't really change the oil. You remove the dirt and contaminants mixed in the oil that the oil filter can't remove.

    "synthetic" is it different from "fully synthetic"

    Fully synthetic is better

    ako rin but much lower at every 3000km ako. Mineral oil. this is much better than every 10k with fully synthetic. no engine sludge on a Toyota!

    You should try to get Mobil delvac 1300 if it's availble. It has a much better additive package for old school diesels.

    Prone to sludge pag laging short trips na hindi umiinit ang makina. I've seen this on a Honda Civic averaging 2kms of travel a day for 3 years. Buti na lang may Auto Rx. I think it might be better to change it earlier than 5,000kms if you only take short trips or always get into heavy stop and go traffic.

    Delvac mx is mineral based, I also use it on my trucks.
