Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[amoyligo]

Sa website ng idemitsu singapore ILSAC GF5 na dapat.

Inuubos pa ng unioil mga stock nila kaya puro SM/CF pa. Pero 2 years na ganyan yan kaya nagpag-iiwanan na.

[Troy Inovero]

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).

Sir are you referring to the total quartz 9000? Mukhang okay sya. Andaming OEM approval tapos SN rated pa. At Total din ang nagsusupply sa Lotus at Red Bull F1 team.
Hindi pala sya gaanong mahal, i'm expecting it to be 2,000+ per gallon. May Jazz din pala kayo hehe

Yun ata yun, basta yung gold-colored container na fully synthetic 5w40 oil. 430 per liter benta nila pero mas makamura kunti kung 4L container bilihin mo. Yes, may Jazz at City din kami, parehong GE platform so pareho mga parts. hahahaha

Total is a partner of Renault/Nissan/Infiniti. Red Bull/Toro Roso F1 teams use Renault engines on their F1 cars. Total na rin ata yung dating Elf oils. Yung Lotus F1, lumipat na sa Mercedes engines.

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

API SM/CF pa yung nabili ko last february, nung time na bumili ako SM rated pa rin talaga yung nakalagay sa singapore website pero after a few months nag update na sila naging API SN na. Baka next year pa dumating yung SN rated sa bansa natin hehe

mga sir any feedback po sa shell helix hx5? try ko po gamitin sa next change oil ko. castrol magnatec po gamit ko, mejo namamahalan ako hehe. mga magkano ung 4 liters nito? 2000 civic. thanks

For a small price difference, go with the HX7 5w40 semi-synthetic. I used it before on my 2001 Accord. Just make sure to change oil every 5k km though I found it to be still ok after 6k+ km. Medyo may kamahalan yung HX5 or HX7 kung bibilhin sa Shell stations though if you can find them cheap somewhere, go for it. Kung gagastos ka ng 400 per liter ng HX5 or HX7, I would suggest you use Idemitsu synthetic 5w30/5w40 or Total Quartz Gold 5w40 synthetic instead kasi synthetic na tapos nasa less than 450 per liter plus up to 10k yung change oil.

ok naman po ung hx7 sa accord niyo? my pagbabago po ba sa hatak, fc, etc.?.. di pa ko nakakagamit ng fully synthetic, sabi ng mekanik pede daw magleak kasi masyado manipis tapos luma na ung mga seals ng engine.

Yun din reason kung di ako gumamit ng fully synthetic sa Accord ko dati. I opted to use 40-weight oil for protection but looked for semi-synthetic options. Kung hatak lang, di ka mabibitin sa Accord pero I found the HX7 to warm-up faster compared to my alternative oil. Sa FC naman, di puwede ikumpara yung Accord sa compacts (Civic, Altis, etc.) kasi 50% bigger displacement (2.3L vs 1.6L).

Yung alternative oil ko was Valvoline NextGen 10w40. Nabibili ko ito sa Ace Hardware for 1200 per 5L container. I found it to be a good semi-synthetic oil for its price. 5L kasi kelangan nung Honda F23 VTEC every oil change. Nung naka-source ako ng HX7 for half its retail price (bulk buy), stay na ako sa HX7 kasi sulit sya.

[luffin]

okay sir thanks. hx7 na lang din gamitin ko.

Welcome bro. Hindi ko pa natry yun pero mukhang maganda dahil puro SN rated na yung mga FS nila saka PAO base oil, meaning group 4 sya. If I may ask ano yung exact na nakita mo sa blade/true value?

I mean anong variant ng mitasu yung nakita mo na 2k+? Yung gold ba or yung platinum? Oo nga e hindi sya gaanong sikat sa bansa natin hehe, una kong nakita yung brand name nung nadaan ako sa shop na titan works sa may horseshoe village QC, distributor din yata sila ng mitasu oils. Nakakita lang naman ako ng orange na gallardo sa loob ng shop at may Silvia,Z3,911(996) din ako na nakita hehe. Puro big time din kasi mga nakatira around dun.

Some mitasu oils use additional grp4 or grp5 oils to their base oils. Which model number did you see?

[bryan19]

Di ko sure at di ko maalala haha pero kahawig nun mitasu special f 5w30 100% synthetic not sure pero ganyan un kulay niya as far as I remember

Its a good price nonetheless. Most likely ACEA A3/B4. If its ACEA A5 then its improved fc.

Sirs, need your professional opinion, my ride has a PMS interval of per 5K odo reading, but mine takes about 7-8 months to reach that 5K. I used Regular oil on my last PMS, should I stick to that or use Fully Synthetic oil instead? Medyo matagal ko kasi ma reach yung per 5K sa odometer. Though I use my ride everyday.

i'm an average joe driver.
i use mineral oil.
i take my time to reach 5K, then i change oil.
... been doing it for decades.. wala naman problema.

[MR_BIG18]

We went to La union this weekend, few days before that i changed my oil to motul and tried a different vicosity, thicker than the recomended 5w30, just a precaution, i know i was driving in the 3k-6k rpm most of the time....oil temp never went up above 103 C, added a can of ceratec...just to be on the safe side
