I've never seen a 5w30 oil that meets highest specs for both gas and diesel at the same time.


most oils are either gas biased or diesel biased...

Seems like a legit brand. Though, there are some trust issues they need to address:

1. As SE pointed out, the specs/certifications seems too good to be true
2. They differentiate their products as "Fully-Synthetic", "Semi-Synthetic" and "Synthetic Blend". The last two tiers technically should mean the same thing
3. They appear to be more interested in marketing their products (promos, events, seminars, etc.). Similar behavior I've seen from Pertua. This may not actually be a bad thing but, I am skeptic of anyone who hard-sells me anything.

Eh tignan mo naman yung poster kasi, obvious na sales associate ng company/distributor yun.
Gumawa lang ng account dito sa Tsikot para mag advertise ng product nila.

Ay ako po di po ako associate. Hehe. I am actually looking lang sa lazada/shopee. Tas napansin ko lang mga yun. Meron pa nga isa pang brand ung "Raimol".

Eh yung "Raimol" nakita nyo sir? Dami naglalabasan na local oil. Tas nakita ko from one comment sa lazada na outsource daw nila ung oil sa singapore then adding additives/formulate nalang na in-house para maging original.

Coming from the seller sa lazada. Dko nalang mahanap ung comment nya.

I just buy whatever oil's cheaper, regardless of brand, and change it every 6 months at the latest.
Basta pasok ang specs sa recommended API and viscosity dun sa manual ng vehicles namin.

Kung may pang multi fleet dual use na diesel/gas (ex API CI-4/SL), we buy in bulk and use sa lahat ng vehicles. Wala pa naman kaming nasirang sasakyan because we didn't use fancy oils.

it is easy to claim the sun and the stars.
all one has to do, is to repack the bulk-purchased product, and print whatever promises one can dream of, onto the package.
and wait for the costumers to come rushing in. most of them do not have an inkling of how to check their oil's claims, anyway.

to be comfortable with the product's real characteristics,
i buy from the gas station the oil that fills my car's specs. mineral lang! replace every six months or 5K, whichever comes last.
i even have their mechanics do my oil replacement schedule.
no waiting, and done inside of an hour. plus, i do not have to worry about what to do with used oil.

i read somewhere, some time back, that ordinary oil is good enough for everyday driving.
special oil (whatever that means) may be useful if one's driving is in the extremes of the edge, where fractions of a second matter, etc etc.
"it is expensive to be water mitty."
heh heh.
