Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[StockEngine]

hey guys, why are thicker oils recommended for older engines in general? Does that mean pwede magbago ang recommended oil as the car gets older? Is it to protect and prolong?

Sa pilipinas lng ata popular yan. Most asean countries have been using 5w30 since the 2000s.

Lots of good stories about xw20 over 200k miles sa bitog forums but these are from the americas.

The shift will be lighter viscosities in the future..

Ang assumption sa atin kasi ay may leaks na ang old engines. Low viscosity oils (thinner) is able to seep easily out of the engine through the leaks. Kung okay naman ang seals ng engine, wala naman siguro masama gumamit ng thinner oil.

Recommended oil for an engine does not change IMO. But bear in mind that higher rating for oil is usually backward compatible.

I see, thanks. Nakita ko kasi to:


when I read the article ung Hx3 kasi 20w-50 yan. I've used Gulf 20w-50 before by mistake, and grabe ang ingay ng makina. Performance was still the same, sobrang ingay lang talaga, hindi tama. Nung nagpalit ako, sabi nung mekaniko ang lapot daw sobra LOL.

Hx3 is for jeeps hahahha. The red bottle of dread.

Hx5 is perfect for any petrol engines though. Yellow bottle.

Kahit Anong oil pa Yan as long as ok yun viscosity for you and you change oil regusrly, I don't see any problem.

Yup regular ako sa Hx5, and then nagkanda malas malas I ended up with the stupid Gulf 20w-50 haha. Am now on hx7 10w-40 ata. Seems okay naman.

Many owners miss changing their oil at the right interval.

Hence a fully synthetic oil is good recommendation. Even if they miss the change by 3-12months at least their engine will be useable.

Affordable mineral oils dont last as long.

Huh 50! Ang taas para sa kotse. Kung regular kang nag rerevolution ng 8000 rpm yan ang bagay. Pero kung 2000 rpm lang 30 or 40 ang tama.

I think you need a higher viscosity oil when u have like a turbo charge cars or suv since they breath more air means more combustion so more heart, as for my mazda 3 1.6 2008 (ford engine) recommended ung 5w-20 but since sobrang nipis nun Id rather changed it to 5w-30.

I used shell helix (blue bottle) 5w-40 last may, and okay naman siya but i think may restriction since its thick for the recommended viscosity of my car so i tried to find a -30 and luckily i have, its MOBIL1 0w-30 so i just changed it today and will see how it performs from cold start tomorrow since pupunta akong QC hall :D well its just my opinion dont go below -30 just to be safe

Sa amin, we use semi-synthetic shell oil (Diesel) and we change it every 4.5k-5.5k (On average 5k) whenever may budget at may oras na but usually we don't let it go as far as 6k. We maintain to change it every 5k kilometers or a few hundred more.
