Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[engrTD21]

i am a user of shell hx7 5w40 on our 2007 altis. although nakaka-isang change oil pa lang ako using this oil dahil kakabili lang namin nung altis last year. shell hx5 kasi yung gamit sa pajero namin. ok naman sya kaya shell na lang din ginamit ko dun sa altis.hehe

so far ok naman. satisfied naman ako sa responsive ng engine. napaparanoid lang ako dahil sa vic ang gamit ko na oil filter. walang mabiling baldwin sa las pinas. kahit na yung bosch e wala din.

pero sa next change oil namin e i will try another oil. nagmahal na kasi yung hx7 sa area namin. hahanap pa ako ng mura na ok.

My experience with Toyota Otis is, they accomodate the oil and oil filter that you bring. They will NOT charge you corkage fees UNLIKE Subaru. You will need to sign a waiver form though.

Is it a huge risk to sign the waiver? I do want to keep my warranty eligibility intact. I'm keen on bringing my own mineral oil since toyota only offers 20w-50 for mineral, which I believe is too thick for new engines. My 1.3e a/t vios is nearing the 5k mark.

I appreciate the feedback sir. Planning to use this since its cheaper vs sa mobil 1 super 2000. Theyre both semi synthetic and i believe as im reading this thread shell and mobil are good oils.

Just wanted to use these oils to get a better protection for my old engine. 14 years and counting.

What mineral oil do you plan to use ? I'm not aware of a less viscous mineral oil other than Honda (Idemitsu) 10W-30 mineral.

To be on the safe side (and so it will not be used as a cause in cases of warranty claims), its better to bring your own supplies after the warranty lapses.

Sir that would be my next question here, hope somebody would jump in. What is the best low viscosity mineral oil available? Any thoughts on mobil super 1000 x2 15w-40? Api sn/sm/sl/sj, ACEA A3/B3. 1049.75 for 4 liters at ace hardware.

Yes, I think I should stick with toyota's oil for now. Seriously considering fully synthetic rather than their 20w-50 mineral.

Try looking at Valvoline.

Toyota FS is 5W-40 SM/CF. Made in China.

try mo delo gold ultra o kaya shell rimula R4x parehas na 15w40 yan...
or mobil delvac 15w40

pwede naman ang diesel engine oil sa gas... pero if you want gasoline specific, mas mahal usually ang price nang gas vs disel engine oil.
since 4 liters lang naman ang need mo, i suggest wag mo na tipirin sir,
pwede ka mag royal purple (10,000 OCI) or liquily moly mos2 oil
both are priced at around 550 pesos per liter.

Toyota oil is repacked caltex oil right?

If the oil is made locally, the thinking is that its a Caltex repacked oil.

But the FS oil the casa was using is labeled made in China so it might be a different brand or supplier.

Oo sir maganda nga daw DGU & R4x kahit sa gas engines. Will go for the casa provided oil for now, para di na maging issue in case na kelangan ko warranty.

Depends on the dealer, some will accept, some won't, others will use void-warranty scare tactic.

You should top-up with exactly the same type of oil, same brand, same type, same viscosity. Upon acquisition of a used vehicle with considerable mileage, it's advisable to change all fluids, not just the engine oil, unless there's detailed service records.

[red_one]

*Pippo21: since binili mo 2nd hand, replace all fluids unless meron service record stating what fluid was replaced and when it was changed.

if no valid service record, do the following:

- Replace engine oil and oil filter
- Replace coolant
- Replace transmission fluid
- Replace brake fluid
- Replace differential gear oil
- Inspect power steering fluid (Replace when needed)
- Replace fuel filter

additionally..

- Inspect air filter (Replace when needed)
- Inspect spark plugs (Replace when needed)
- Inspect battery (Replace when needed)
- Inspect tires (Replace when needed)
- Inspect brake pads and discs (Replace when needed)
- Inspect and clear air conditioning system
- Inspect shocks for leaks and perform bounce test (Replace when needed)
- Inspect wipers (Replace when needed)
- Inspect U-joints (Replace when needed)
- Inspect drive belts (Replace when needed)
- Adjust Idle speed, Idle mixture

about oil grade, the number before letter "W" practically does not matter because we do not have Winter season. instead, you should consider the working temperature range of the engine oil.



next, ask yourself what type of oil you want -- mineral oil, semi-synthetic, or fully synthetic.

Mineral oil - Replace every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first
Semi-synthetic - Replace every 7,500 km or 9 months, whichever comes first
Fully synthetic - Replace every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first

ang gamit ko now is Fully synthetic, Petron Ultron Race 5W40, API Grade SN.
