Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

0w20 is for winter climates. 5w20 is good enough. Shell doesnt have "ultron" products but petron does have ultron products.

Shell helix ultra 5w30 is very good. I would use that with confidence.

Hahaha, I meant Shell Ultra not Ultron. HondaPH uses 0w20 synthetic oil on its newer cars. It comes in a white container with agreen cap. They call it the "green" oil for better fuel efficiency. They used to use the VTEC LEV 5w40 synthetic oil (white container with red cap). Both oils are manufactured by Idemitsu. Both are quite good and we have used them extensively in our City and Jazz.

I've tried several times using expired FS oil 3 years from the mfgt date. so far nothing bad happened to the engine. What's the effect of using expired oil to engine?? TIA

5yrs is the shelf life as per some manufacturers.

Malaki ba difference ng fully synthetic sa semi synthetic? Ang mura kasi binebenta sakin nung honda oil 5w-30 na semi synth kaya parang gusto ko itry. Every 6 months naman ako magpalit ng engine oil. At nakaka 4k kms lang ako every 6 mos.

Yes it should be fine. The cheaper the better. As long as oil changes are done regularly.

^ basic requirement ko yan casa or non casa repair. If it's not in plain sight kung ano ginagawa nila, hindi ko ipagagawa sa kanila.

Yup heard those horror stories, truth is after 1k, oil is still clean, any residue from the initial break-in is filtered by to oil filter, up to 5k kms youre still good to go, btw, you can bring your own oil at subaru, they have corkage of 50 per liter, i was just lucky when i had my PMS my vehicle was near the waiting area in plain sight where i can see it.

Honda factory fill has added moly to protect engine from the break-in period.

I read that somewhere also that they are the only manufacturer that does that

Nag backread ako simula page 1, nasa page 44 palang ako pero 200+ times ko na atang nabasa yung word na delo haha. Napatingin tuloy ako sa website ng caltex at nakita ko Havoline pala yung carry nilang engine oil na pang gasoline. Looks promising kaso mukhang mahal.

Masyado mabilis yung 1-2 years shelf life ng engine oil.

Kahit 5 years nakatengga yan pwede nyo gamitin.

If youre the type of a consumer that is brand concious then youll to take the path that most people took

As long as the container remains sealed good and theres no expiry date stamped into it the oil is good to be used

To put an expiry when its explicitly stated theres none is ludicrous

Marami talagang misconception sa car maintenance

[dr. d]

As long as the container remains sealed good and theres no expiry date stamped into it the oil is good to be used

what if the expiry date was intentionally erased? is there a way to determine if...?

[kisshmet]

That you can determine with different manufacturers

If its industry standard to stamp shelf life into oil containers then most oil containers will carry such mark if not then there will be none

Shelf life could be a pigment of over concious consumers imagination

As long as the container is sealed then its good

Heck some used oil are even recycled, all casas earn from the used oil every car owners throw away in their service bay. after filtering out the contaminants it goes back to the store sheves for all consumers to buy

1 to 2 yrs

Is this true? That honda repacking idemitsu which is meron din sa unioil. I have check their oils and found out mas cheap siya kesa buying on honda casa mismo. But upon computing and research un fully synthetic ng idemitsu which is 5w-30 is a semi synthetic lang ng honda and honda fully synthetic is 0w-20 or 5w-40

Most oils have fs, semi, and mineral oils. 5w30 fs is fs. Unless otherwise mentioned that its not.

Kahit dito na lang hehe thanks. 4liters ba yan 1,720? Edi 430 per liter hmm tapos bili na lang ako sa honda ng filter at washer 345 plus labor ng gagawa makakatipid nga ng malaki kung ganun kaso mawawalan lang ng checking un sasakyan.. di ba lalo tatagas un oil sa engine ko kasi may mga problem sa mga gasket ko? Currently I am using semi synthetic ng honda may mga leak dahil sa gasket problem pero di naman ganun kadame un nababawas actually since nag pa change oil ako ng Dec. Up to now di ako nag lagay ng oil para dagdagan kasi sa dip stick nasa normal level pa din eh. Pag fully kaya dun na kaya lalakas un leak at need na mag lagay?

About the leak, Visually meron oil? Or nag lower lng oil level without any visible oil?

Nahanap ko lang, pinagcinompare yung old FS na 5w-40 sa new 0w-20.

The Layman Auto: What's with 0W-20 synthentic lubricant and will it last?

Check nyo kung rated ILSAC GF-5 na stock idemitsu. Kasi kung API SM/CF pa yan eh ang daya.

Check nyo kung rated ILSAC GF-5 na stock idemitsu. Kasi kung API SM/CF pa yan eh ang daya.

Yung locally available Idemitsu synthetic oils ay yung Extreme Eco 5w30 at Extreme Touring 5w40. Both oils are rated API SM/CF. Nasa mga 1600-1800 per gallon yung price nito, depende sa dealer (mostly UniOil gas stations).

Total has its Quartz Gold 5w40 synthetic oil, API SN. P1680 per gallon yung kuha namin. Naubusan ng Idemitsu oil yung malapit na UniOil station so napilitan gumamit ng iba for the Jazz pero oks naman yung Total Quartz Gold so far.

Mas mura pa ata yung bentahan ng Zic synthetic oils. Mga 300 per liter kuha ng kaibigan ko kasi isang carton bilihan nya for his Montero Sport (7L per oil change).
