Thanks shadow... t's a bit of a challenge here in Cebu to shop for good yet affordable oils. I asked a shell station here and i got a price of 3800 package of FS, oil filter (dont k kw what brand) and labor. So the other shop i checked quoted me 2300 for this Berol 4L, oil filter and labor. I checked their FB and they have customers giving 5 star scores but no customer reviews so maybe you guys have some idea hehe

I cant find any trusted shop yet for me to buy my own oil then just pay for labor.

But you're comparing a fully synthetic Package from shell and this shop which is only offering semi synt.

Most probably Vic yun filter ng Shell. Ask their Package for semy synt and it will come out around ₱2k din.

I'll try another shell station. That shell station didnt have a package for semi synthetic. Previous oil change was with shell's FS then will be changing it now after 10mons and 5k kms. And I think im not making the most of my FS oil..do you feel the same? hehe i also dont want to follow the 10k kms for the next oic. Hahaha

Shell semi synth - 2200 package
Shell FS 5w30 - 3800 package
Repsol 10w40 - 1500/gal (according to the mechanic FS daw ito)
Aisin 5w30 FS - 1600/gal
Mag1 5w30 Fs - 1600/gal
Found only Vic oil filter for 195

What's the best among my list? I'll just go to a shop for labor if i wont avail shell's package

Thank you mga experts.

10k and 5months? that sounds ok. interval seems long imo. are you also driving rather aggressively? which vehicle?

Sorry to confuse you Stock...what i meant is - it took me 10mons before i reached 5k kms hehe I have a Vios 2014. Only travels around 20kms when going to work and back home with very light traffic..and some times i use my MC for another reason of low mileage hehe

Tsikot was on Shell FS..i want to change my oil every 10mons even if its FS with low running time. However i want to try a low cost yet good FS oil which i posted my list earlier hehe

Zic FS and Caltex Delo 400 are both good oils that can be use up to 10k or 1 year OCI. I personally used both. You can also check forums for feedback. Use good oil filters, like Baldwin, if you are doing extenede OCI. Also available in Lazada.
