Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[Egan101]

1904 kms pa lang tinakbo ng truck ko this year and i reckon i have to do the change oil routine once again before the 21st because by then it'll be a year old.

double filtration na baldwin oil filter gamit ko so mukhang ok pa naman pero a year old oil is a year old oil. although tempting pa mag extend

Wow! Wala man lang 2k! Yung byahe namin last Friday, almost 500 km ata

I see. Is it same color or visibly lighter compared to my photo?

Haven't looked at it. Diesel naman, even just driving 500Km after an oil change, maiitim na talaga oil. Just looking at it is not the best gauge for oil condition.

Since I'm using full-synth, 12 months should be the OCI for very low-mileage vehicles.

Yung innova change oil was january. Wala pa 1000 km tinatakbo since last oil change mag iisang taon na.

Yung isang vios naman 500kms pa lang din tinakbo since last oil change in 2019. Hehe

Makes me think na hindi na maximize iyong langis nung truck ko eh

This is what my oil looks like after 4,500km and 7months since my last oil change. The oil gets darker in color is this an indication that I need to have it replace? I use 15W40 Zic X7000 FS diesel.

Just based on the photo and what we do with our cars, that color is normal. Mas maitim pa yung sa ibang diesel namin na.

From my layman's perspective before fearing I need to head to casa/dealer or DIY change oil.

1) yung oil, di dapat sobra labnaw lang. Only once ko lang naexperience yun sa Xtrail na pag check ko ng dipstick akala mo tubig yung asa loob kasi tumutulo na talaga from the dipstick. Motech yung nagchange oil nun ng Semi-Synthetic ata before sa kuya ko. More than 6 mos when we checked the dipstick kaya nagulat lang ako na parang tubig yung labnaw. Never ko naexperience yun sa ibang oil. Not sure if because of the Semi-Synthetic blends kung ganun ba talaga pero pinapalitan na lang namin. Literal na tutulo na lang yung "oil" pag labas ng dipstick. No "beading time" muna for the oil to collect at the end of the dipstick. Kaya medyo alangan ako sa Motech na oil (di ko alam brand kasi di nakasulat sa resibo nila nung chineck namin yung resibo)

2) texture, if really coarse or only "fine" particles lang maramdaman mo sa oil mo when you rub it against your fingers. If really coarse meaning marami na suspended particles in the oil din. So ibig sabihin not necessarily because it is black/dark in color meaning need na palit. Kasi kung very fine particles lang naman, meaning they are small enough to get through the oil filter. pero pag coarse na feeling, meaning kahit yung filter di na nasasalo or filter out yung "debris", so to speak.

Re running a diesel with engine oil for more than 1 year with FS dahil di mo pa naabot yung 10k kms mileage. Madalas nangyari ito sa Montero namin and what we have done is actually on the 5k mark, top up lang and safe pa din. Then close to the 10k mark tsaka change oil. Para di sayang yung langis. Up to now, no engine trouble naman yung 2011 Montero.

Also currently running my Sylphy with FS Oil from Nissan. Last change oil was July 2019. Ang ginawa ko lang nung October 2020 was top up 1 liter of FS oil kasi may "space" na to top up. Di naman coarse yung oil, engine runs fine before I did the top up din. Have only done 6k kms with the car from the previous change oil.

But of course, your mileage may vary. Di kasi madalas naiipit sa rush hour traffic both vehicle. So engine idling time I would say is similar to Mixed Driving Conditions usually for both. If usually stuck in bumper to bumper with heavy idling time, iba usapan na.

Yung sa no. 1 mo, read “crankcase dilution”

Thanks for that. I am reading up now. I haven't encountered it before so surprising for me to see na ganun kalabnaw yung langis sa makina.

Mukhang may papacheck na sa makina na yun.

Hope it didn’t do any damage. Good luck.

Before New Year, I had a change oil done on my 2018 Sportage. I wanted to try this oil, Cyclon TDI 5w-40 in preparation for summer. The previous oil I used was Kixx PAO 5w-30. I took the car for a trip down South where I spent my New Year. Off the bat, I’d say the car felt smooth running & acceleration. On paper, the the specs & certifications look good enough to try, as I am not restricting myself to commonly used lubes.

in the past,
whenever i had my regular oil change (mineral oil),
the car always "felt smoother running and had better acceleration" afterward.
imagined perception? real? i don't know...

dun sa kia besta van namin dati baligtad naman.. pag bagong change oil medyo makupad at parang hirap sa takbo na parang gusto pa mag overheat.. pero pag luma na yung oil nya, minsan pina abot ko ng 10k kms.. smooth na smooth ang takbo.. matulin tsaka hindi masyado mainit makina.. hehe

hah!
many years ago,
when i replaced the oil of my then-recently-purchased car, using the recommended oil grade,
the oil pressure light started flickering.
it would appear, the engine was so worn, it could not keep proper oil pressure anymore.

ex-taxi!
it would seem, all the signs were there. but me-in-my-in-experience...
heh heh.

Could be doc. I just don’t feel that with my other diesel car using Zic X7. But maybe expectations were a bit optimistic. Either or, it’s still positive. But I’ve used a bad fs oil before & felt it right away. I bought this oil because of it’s ACEA rating.

which brings me to my nagging question.
"how does one know that the oil one just poured into the engine, is bad oil?"

It is hard to describe to give you a satisfactory answer but, it didn’t feel right & up to my expectations. Maybe there are other factors at play but, that was the only thing changed with the car to make me suspicious. It’s also been proven that not all oils are created equal. Anyway, to each his own.

Question mga gurus re: diesel engine oil. API CI-4 mineral engine oil vs API CF-4 semi-synthetic engine oil.

Dinala ko sa talyer yung old school diesel na sasakyan namin (Isuzu Crosswind 4JA1-T). In-offer sa akin ng mekaniko yung CF-4 semi-synthetic na langis dahil 30 pesos lang yung price difference nya kumpara dun sa CI-4 na mineral oil. Kaso, mas pinili ko pa rin yung CI-4 mineral oil dahil sa mas mataas yung API rating, at sayang din yung 30 pesos per liter hehe.

Based sa manual, ang recommended ay CF-4. Pero based naman sa mga nabasa ko dito dati, mas maganda yung mas mataas na API rating.

Tama lang ba yung choice ko? Alam ko naman na hindi maselan sa langis ang Crosswind pero mas prefer ko rin yung change oil every 5,000 KM hehe.

[yapoy86]

hindi kikibo yan sa langis.. hehe.. basta pang diesel ok sa 4ja1 yan..
