Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[baludoy]

^ bukod sa viscosity rating, check also the API rating -- should be SN

how about iyong zinc/phosphorous? ano ba ang acceptable content dapat?

Zinc dapat mga 1200ppm lang sana. Phosphorus okay lang kahit mataas pero usually nasa 800-1100 lng naman yan kahit sa diesel oil pa so not much concern for gas engines.

[baludoy]

^ hmmm...ang nakalagay kasi dun sa spec sheet .083 ang zinc tapos .076 ang phosphorous.

Guys for gas engine: ok na din ba ang:
1 Total quartz? 5w 40
2 castrol magnatec 10w 40
3 zic 10w40 ( kung meron)

Yung Zic Up maganda.

yung difference ng semi at fully synthetic eh frequency ng palit? mas matagal ang change oil sa fully synthetic kaya mas mahal din?

Ang gulo hindi ko rin magets. In my case maliban sa budget id go for mineral/semi since hindi naman long trips tapos matagal at abutin ng buwan bago ko ma-reach yung every 5k interval. Pero every 5k ako nagpapalit kaya okay na siguro in my case yung mobil delvac mx at delo 400. Pero kung may budget id go for fully synthetic siguro pag 20k na dame na siguro ako ipon nun. Hahaha!

btw, kung under warranty auto, kailangan sundin owner's manual at policy ng manufacturer

[crazy_boy]

sa susunod subukan ko rin ung ZIC. pero sa delo gold ultra muna ako sa next oil change.

Ako masaya na ako sa Zic. Fleet namin naka Zic + baldwin/bosch combo na lahat.

Which is better mobil delvac 1 or mobil tdt? Tia

Mobil Delvac 1 if you use a high quality oil filter that can extend your COI to 20,000kms or 1 year. Too costly for 5,000kms or even 10,000kms COI IMO. Ideal also if you're car is a luxury/european or powerful SUV.

Mobil1 TDT can easily do 10,000kms change oil interval eh.

I use mineral oils in my cars (20W-50) like Castrol GTX, wether new or old ones. Here's why . . . follow the link below

Car Bibles : The Engine Oil Bible

Very informative. Thanks sir for posting.

Rt, diba ang delvac 1 ay mineral oil while TDT is fully synthetic?

team,

between the two 5w30 & 10w40,
ano ba talaga ang best suited for new cars?

i read somewhere in BTOG that 5w30 daw are better suited for newer cars kasi hindi pa loose yung mga engine components, 10w40 better for older cars. nakakalito lang.

thanks

may nabasa din akong ganyan sir. any inputs from our oil gurus?

[bayen]

anyone here who have tried Voltronic?

VOLTRONIC - Lubricant, Additive, Coolant, Grease, Car Care and Chemical:

Thanks.

[dfopiso]

^^ yung viscosity rating na _W30, up to 30 degC lang yata engine operating temp. Dapat yata sa Pinas eh _W40

Voltronic is being used at some Ford dealerships in M.M. as OEM oil for diesel. Shell Rimula sa iba.

Nope, FS ang Delvac 1 (group IV). Delvac MX yung mineral nila.

* Bayen. For new cars the best for break-in at least until 5,000kms is mineral oil X/XXw40 rating. The fist 2 or 1 number digit doesn't matter much in our climate.

But if your car comes with an FS like some performance and very high quality cars, then you can use FS already. Better see your manual pa rin para safe. W30 oils will give you fuel economy. Okay lang yan IMO sa mga gas engines, pero sa diesel ideal talaga X/XXW40 or X/XXW50 if really old car na.
