question lang guys, pag high mileage na yung engine (around 150K kilometers na), ano ba mas okay gamitin? fully synthetic or semi-synthetic? sabi kasi ng mechanic ko semi-synthetic na lang gamitin since may times 'daw' na hindi okay ang fully synthetic eh. not sure kung anong basis nya though.
yung engine oil na usually gamit ko is royal purple fully synthetic, but nung last na oil change ko, nilagay na lang ng mechanic is whiz semi-synthetic oil na lang since its better daw.
a little background on my daily use, i average 50-100kms a day, so changing oil often is a must for me. I'm thinking maybe every after three months? that's why I'm looking for a cheaper alternative in my oil changes. masyadong mahal na ang royal purple for every 3 months eh.

Marketing na lang yung royal purple, hks, motul......and other atrociously expensive fully synthetic oil.
Ano year model ng kotse mo? Gamitin mo ang pinakamura pero quality engine oil. Ang dami na ngayon like yung zic, havoline, idemitsu, delo, mobil. Hindi na ito 1980s to early 1990s na hindi pa ganun kaganda mga langis.
Personally doon ako sa zic dahil mura kasi bago pa sa pinas at maganda feedback kahit sa international forums.
^san kayo nakakabili ng Elf and how much sir?

Pwede yung zic A sa vios.
Nabasa ko yung post mo sa toyota vios thread
Ewan ko kung makakatulong ito. Yung barkada ko nagoil change gumamit ng delo gold ultra sa 2011 altis nya. Gulat ako ang tahimik ng makina. May times na "na-overcrank" nya sa pagstart engine kasi akala nya naka-off pa makina.
Feeling ko hiyang yung altis nya sa ci-4/sL engine oil. So pwede ka gumamit ng zic up, delo gold ultra.
Sa vios thread mas sikat yung zic A. API rating nyan SN. Try mo na lang kung saan hindi sluggish at tahimik makina kotse mo.

hindi nga lang delo gold ultra pero delo gold multi user ako sa vios ko (Gen2 2NZ). mas tahimik at mas maliksi kesa nung toyota mineral oil gamit ko.
150K kms odo reading na, buhay na buhay pa. no major engine problems encountered so far. sana mas tumagal pa.
Just wondering kung pwede talaga ang viscosity ng ZiC A na 10w40 sa vios ko?
Kasi sa manual ay nakalagay lang 5w30, 10w30, 15w40, 20w50.

Sige Zic nalang ako.![]()
Actually for me, maganda talaga ang Elf lubricants. Tried it before in my big bikes and maganda talaga.

Meron engine na maingay pag Zic A motor oil ang gamit dahil API SN na ito, meaning, lower than 800 ppm ang zddp, bawas ang lubricating additives, compatible sa new engines with catalytic converter or euro 4 emission control systems.

Kung open-minded nga mas ok gamitin sa gas engine zic up kasi ci-4 / SL rating.
How abt zic for Diesel engine does anyone here using it?? Any feedback? Tia

Check mo sa mitsubishi forum dito sa tsikot may post ako doon sa montero pms thread .Yung montero ng uncle ko ako nagpa oil change zic up ginamit. Sabi nya after 1 month of driving mas tumipid daw fuel consumption at tumahimik engine.
May post din dito si crazy or miko yung username gamit zic up din mas tumahimik daw engine.
Pag nagbasa ka sa hyundai thread yun mga naka santa fe hiyang engine nila sa zic rv 10w30. Ang nipis nya pero hindi daw maitim usok.
