Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[Pippo21]

*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.

Thanks sa advise sir! Getting ready for a barrage ng fluid changes actually.. budget nalang ang inaantay.. sponsor anyone? Although ung mga madadali na pde DIY, nagawa na like brake pads and fluid and power strering fuel level.. air filter( na napakadumi by the way)

Ung tranny oil talagang for changing na kasi hirap na change gear when revs are even slightly higher.. pero ung enginr oil kasi golden pa ang kulay pero borderline low level.. kaya im thinking of topping up lang.. kaso nga... aun.. di ko alam anu binatong oil sa kanya..

Anyway, BTT...

So 15w-40 SH pde na pala perp change oil na dn para included na ang oil filter hehe

So walang masamang mangyari sa makina kahit maling oil itop up ko? Wala kasi idea kung semi or dino, let alone lapot na nilagay ng mekaniko eh

Kung wala pa budget, pwede naman top up, use mo medyo low viscosity pero huwag patagalin, a month use is okey lang, change after.

Don't do this.

[johnjoseph]

Don't do this.

This won't hurt if top up only for just a short time, better than low oil level for a short time...

Kung ayaw nila, change oil mo na lang. Hehehe!

Malinaw yung chart.

Dito sa pinas mas ok ang 10w40 sa gasoline engine at 15w40 sa diesel engine.

Personally hindi ako gagamit ng 10w30 or 0w20 sa metro manila lalo na pag summer.

its in the manual, atmospheric temp chart shows different from the one presented here *50 degC viscosity 50, 40, 30, 20 all works the same hunky-dory. lower figure result in better fuel economy, so its up to you what to choose

in addition it indicates SG or HIGHER thats why in the service manual SL is recommended. btw, the letter S stand for suitable to SPARK operated engines or in other word gas engines. the letter following S indicates the latest or the better oil compared to the other & interpreted chronologically thats why SN is better than SL

Hi sirs.. just wanted to throw two questions here

1. any harm in switching from different brands of engine oil per interval (no flushing solutions involved), am using a 5000 km spread.
2. any current/previous users of Mobil super 1000? parang medyo mura na kasi sya sa ace hardware (and mobil brand at that)

2. any current/previous users of Mobil super 1000? parang medyo mura na kasi sya sa ace hardware (and mobil brand at that)

AFAIK, no bad effects on using different oil brands every oci kahit hindi use flushing oil. As much as possible, use sae grade nearest to what's recommended sa car mo.

How much ang Mobil Super 1000 sa ACE? Ano sae grade niya?

Manila:
Average Low = 23C
Average High = 32C
Record High = 42C
Record Low = 17C

Baguio
Average Low = 11C
Average High = 25C
Record High = 28C
Record Low = 6C

Climate of the Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So tama lang to get SAE xW40. where x can be any value since we do not have Winter season, i.e. 5w40, 10w40, 15w40.

[johnjoseph]

Ano sae grade ng Mobil Super 1000 engine oil?

15W-40 sir mineral based oil.

[johnjoseph]

Which do you think is better, Mobil Super 1000 or Zic A? SAE 10w40 ang Zic A at semi synthetic Korean made oil, low viscosity sa start up.
