malamang mga 3000kms palit na.
will probably try zic x7 10w30 next unless somebody will give negative feedback on this

Sir, i have the same oil for my upcoming change oil this coming weekend. first time to try these formulation of zic. Dati Zic RV ako and Top 1 SDO. I believe your ride is a TCI starex?

My Innova currently have Delo Gold in it.
Coming from Toyota Fully Synthetic, I'd say it is good in its first 1000kms.

I have to see if it will maintain its performance until the next oil change (after 3,500kms or 4 months). Yes, I am experimenting on 3 oil changes in one year (instead to two) using mineral oil.

I already have a record book. I just need to write the necessary stuff. I did it with my old corolla.

So its better to try the oil and compare.

Sir since you have quite an experience with oils could you recommend what oil can i try with my ride po? I am now using shell helix 5w/40 in my car. What other brands can you recommend po that is better for gas fed engines sir? Thank you [emoji4]

Business kasi kami kaya factor lowest price, current ratings.

Ngayon sa business we alternate valvoline, zic, castrol. Subok na namin.

For our personal car gamit ko for gasoline engine zic a+, castrol edge, synpower. Pag pumunta pinsan ko sa america sa kanya ako nagpapadala yung mga hindi available na oil locally pero hindi practical kasi problem consistency sa pag gamit.

So kung sa metro manila ka bibili advice ko pinalowest price na rated dexos 1, ILsac gf-5, api sn for gasoline engine.

Sir, ano po auto nyo? Pwede mo rin po check sa owner's manual kung ano po ang SAE viscosity at API rating ang recommended. Then later saka natin pag usapan ang brands.

Try mo yung edge medyo mahal lang or kahit yung green magnactec 10w40 ok na.

Pero check api rating baka luma ibigay sayo.

Like idemtisu api sm pa din. No ilsac rating.
