Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[kisshmet]

The Ford cars released here come from Thailand. Unless they made a mistake, it won't be listed in the manual that 5w20 is the required viscosity for the Ecoboost engines.

Honda has long been using their 0w20 synthetic oil for their gas engines locally. We tried it on our 2009 City and Jazz before and it works as well as the older VTEC LEV 5w40.

When interpreting the recommended oil viscosity do not overlook the "OR BETTER" clause

In 2009 40 is a good and recommended viscosity for the engine then, fastforward to present time 20 is most definitely better than 40 in terms of friction reduction.

Hence, an old engine will have no adverse effect using the latest and better oil

The only bad thing about old engine is, if it is leaking oil, then thin oil such as 20 will drain much faster than a thick oil like 40

but what does "or better" mean, oil viscosity-wise?
either it's too light, or too heavy, or just right.

Thin oil is always better than thick oil

Oil thickens under extreme weather condition such as winter freeze. The engine wont start because the oil turned solid from liquid state

If you know how to swim in a pool?

ask yourself, which is swimmable a pool with water that turned into ice or pool filled with arnibal or plain water?

That is the reason why research and development of engine oil leads to producing thin oils

You're confusing oil viscosity with API category. You should only use the correct viscosity that is designed for your vehicle. But when it comes to API category, you can use no lower than what the engine manufacturer states in the spec.

So if your vehicle is designed to use API SM oil, you can safely use SN oil, but not SL, SJ or earlier oils.

Im not, as far as your Srating interpretation is concerned its correct SN is better than SL. If thats what you prefer to focus on

The OR BETTER clause simply means that mechanical designers took into consideration developments in the oil industry in the future. That better oils will come up in the future

In the future oil with viscosity 10 is better than what we have now and oil rated SZ will be better than SN rated oil we have now

Always remember that the primary job of an engine oil is to REDUCE FRICTION or lower the temperature caused by it because the number one enemy of your engine is HEAT. Engines are made of metal, too much heat melts metal, once you reach the melting point of most engine metals such as iron or aluminum then the cylinder block will meld with the piston head and thats the end of the engine of your car

Dust is taken cared of the air filter, not by the engine oil

Prolonged combustion of fuel heat is taken cared of the liquid COOLANT going around the engine and the radiator, not by the engine oil

So if you have an old engine and your not sure what is the recommended oil for it then its always safe to use the latest oil. Just check the bottom of an old engine and check if its leaking oil, thin oil will drain much faster than a thick oil. Lose oil thru leak and your engine will overheat

The latest oil are the thin oils rated 30 or 20 and SN or CJ

Take note in the future these ratings will be updated due to ongoing research and development of engine oils

Again latest (30, 20 or SN, CJ) oil is safe for old and new engines. Stale (50, 40 or CF, SL) oil is not good for new engines. Hence, you can never go wrong with novel engine oils

New Here.. May nakasubok na po ba ng Durablend 10w40 sa 1st gen vios 2007?

[sirkosero]

^ durablend oil, the one from valvoline? Nothing spectacular.

You can get away with any branded oil just change it regularly

Yes Valvoline but vios only mentioned 5W30 as recommended and 10W30 , Oil Grade 20W50 and 15W40
or sm 10W30 and 5W30.
NOw Valvoline Durablend is 10W40

[StockEngine]

durablend is like most semi synthetics. shell helix hx7(this is offeres in 10w40 grade only)or castrol magnatecs(10w30 10w40 grades are available in my area)

5w30 or 10w40 marami naman talaga multigrades available. baka out of stock lng ang 5w30.

Thank StockEngine... pero ok lang kaya gamitin yun 10W40 wala kasi ako makita locally na 10W30 o 5W30 na durablend.
Amazon naman hindi nag shipping sa pinas.

[StockEngine]

I would prefer same viscosity with the current engine oil(xw30). the 10w40 will make your quieter but the fc will be slightly affected.

zic x7 meron 10w30. contact crazy_boy he probably carries the right filter too.

Would you say better protected engine also? Problem is i don't know what the previous owner were using.

[StockEngine]

ah i thought you used 5w30 before. they probably used a mineral oil with xw40. Its cheaper after all.

protection is almost the same whether xw30 or xw40. both viscosities provide that film between metal to metal. the xw40 can withstand more heat generated by the engine when driving like a mad man.

Ok will use 10w40 durablend hope it will be suffice for coldstarts. Besides our temperature barely drops below 15 yearound.

[miguel20]

Any reviews on valvoline fully synthetic diesel 5w30? Hm naman kaya

Zic oil for diesel have:
5w30
10w30
10w40

Ano bang mas ok for montero and grand starex?
5w30 pinaka mahal. 10w40 pinaka mura. Ano mga pinagkaiba?
