Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

"New oil more often" - more harm than good. Everytime you drain and fill doesnt protect the areas (where oil should have been) during engine start/ignition. A brief discussion of this was in bitog forums. Wish I bookmarked it. Cant find it anymore.

Interesting...

I was thinking after turning off the engine, majority of the oil goes to the oil pan/sump so draining this and refilling it with new oil should have the same effect on start up since the new oil will just flow to the oil sump either way.

Ano daw reason sa bitog?

To add, you typically pour in new oil through the valve cover filler hole. From there, the oil pretty much soaks the valve train before flowing down the same oil passage ways to the sump.

Though, I tend to disagree with an earlier post that changing mineral oil at shorter intervals is better than using FS oil at longer intervals. As long as the FS oil is replaced at the prescribed interval, it should perform at par or even better than mineral oil.

Gurus,

As per bitog, kaya naman daw po ng Shell Helix Ultra Diesel yung 10,000 kms oil change interval. Tanong ko lang po sana kung okay lang ba na annual yung oci ko using Shell Helix Ultra? almost 7,000 kms lang kasi ako per year. Change OEM oil filter ako every 6mos.

BTW, 2014 Accent CRDI unit ko. Thanks po.

P.S. Hindi po nadadala sa Manila yung car, mostly provincial driving lang na yung trapik po ay very minimal lang. Okay lang kaya annual change oil using Shell Helix Ultra Diesel? Thanks po.

It should be fine...especially now that we have euro4 diesel fuels.

Why the low mileage? Ofw?

Nope. Not an OFW po. Minsan lang po nagagamit yung car since may ibang car pa na nagagamit. Thanks po sa reply.

based on my brothers car i would say simple 5k oil will do but do the change oil every 3-4k (better than maximizing the estimated life of the oil)
