Sobrang mahal sa Ace. Better get from a big auto shop. Yung ibang gas station kasi fuel lang yung direct sila sa principal kaya lubricants minsan mahal. Peor yung mga auto shop at oil stores lang mismo, mura yan.

Thank you sir. I was in petron gas station earlier this morning and inquired about their diesel engine oil. Meron silang Rev-X Trekker multigrade mineral based oil 15W-40 which is CI-4 rated (Php278/Li). Is it on par with Caltex Delo Gold or Shell Rimula R3? How do you rate those three types of engine oil from good to best? Thank you for your inputs.

The last time I bought Shell Rimula X R3 from a Shell Gas Station near our village, which was last month for our GS's 15KKm PMS,- nasa P203 lang siya per liter.... Medyo mahal ang P260/L na nakita mo, bro.

Ah ok thanks. Almost 3 years na ako delo gold ginagamit sa civic ek.

Delo Gold Ultra ka na lang. Mura siya. Or Mobil Delvac MX basta sa auto shop ka bumili. Ci-4 rating nilalagay ng Petron pero wala yang API symbol na nagpapatunay na pasado sila. Claims lang nila yan kasi dapat may API symbol if pasado. Tsaka yun nga, problem with petron is you don't know its chemical composition. Stick to those with published product data sheet.

Mas maige kung Delo 400 ka na lang kung ganyan din lang presyo ng Petron. P295/li ang bili ko sa Delo 400 (not the two Delo Golds ha).

Delo 400 is API CI-4 plus/CI4/CH4/CG4/CF4/CF/SL afaik sa label nya plus other oil tests like MB, JASO, pati Cummins pa ata.

TBN as per one pds is 12.6 tapos 10.5 naman yung nakita ko sa ibang pds pero i think that's the LE version which is CJ-4 na. or maybe yung 2 ASTM test yun with regards to TBN (D2896 and D4379). either way, considered pa rin na mataas yung TBN nya.

Thank you sir, ano API rating ng Delo Gold Ultra and Delo Gold? based dito sa mga post seems like this is a good oil compared sa shell and petron.

You may want to try also yung Valvoline oils sa ACE. cheap din at CI4 and cummins rated din yung mga ibang diesel oils ng valvoline. natry ko na din kasi yung valvoline turbo at P200/liter e.

Delo Gold Ultra is CI4/SL
Delo Gold is CI4 down to CF/SL to SF ata yun.

correct me if i'm wrong dito sa post ko. nagbenta kasi ako lately ng mga junks sa bahay kaya wala na yung mga plastic containers ng oils.
