Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[nivraarvin]

Nung tinanong ko sa TMB kung bakit 20W-50 ang gamit nito sa VVTi, ang sagot sa akin kung gusto niyo ho sir mag synthetic na lang kayo 5W-40.

Maybe pinipilit nilang maubos ung 20w50 na stocks.

mga gurus, kung 5w30 ba na mineral based ang ginagamit sa engine ko dapat 5w30 din ang viscosity kung magsesemi or fully synthetic oil ako?

[miko101130]

wala ako alam na pure mineral based na 5w-30...
5w-30 weights are either semi/or fully synthetic in nature.. the number 5 means there are a lot of viscosity modifiers in the mix hence it wont be pure mineral...

high mineral ratio starts at 15w-40.... most 10w-40 are blends... and those 5w-40/5w-30 are mostly fully synthetic.

if your budget permits, you can't go wrong with fully synthetics...

Yes, 5W-30 are mostly FS oils. Bakit hindi ka mag 0W-30 na lang sir?

So hanggang ilang taon po ba dapat ginagamit ang oil na may 5W30 viscosity? Ayaw ko rin naman hintayin na mag leak pa sa engine kase. Going 3 years pa lang car ko. Thanks!

Sir, kung FS oil good for one year na yan.

Hi Sir,

What I mean is going 3 years na po ako gumagamit ng fully synthetic na may 5W30 viscosity. Hanggang ilang taon ba safe gamitin yan? Kase diba habang naluluma ang kotse dapat medyo malapot na oil na rin ang gagamitin?

[Retz]

safe naman yan sir. dito kasi sa atin since na tropical climate tayo, preferably 40 ung operating temp grade..... diesel ba sayo or gas?

Gas po sir. Ulitin ko lang sir ha baka hinde tayo nagkakaintindihan. Every 5K or 6months ako nagpapa change oil using RP 5W30 and going 3 years ko na ginagawa yan. Ask ko lang sana kung hanggang kelan ba safe gamitin ang engine oil na ang viscosity is 5W30? Syempre diba habang tumatagal nag leleak na rin ang oil sa engine kapag sobrang nipis ang ginagamit? Thanks!

hindi raw fully synthetic or semi-synthetic eh.. as per casa.. eto yung ginamit nila...

[miko101130]

semi-synthetic yan sir... whoever told you na mineral yan eh hindi alam sinasabi...

synthetic blend classification ng SGO 5W-30.... as per the nature of engine oils (5W can only be achieved if there are a lot of viscosity modifiers, kaya hindi siya pwede maging fully mineral base)

safe naman ganyan weights sir... especially on gasoline engines, as long as properly maintained ang engine... mas matipid sa fuel kasi at less ang friction internally kung low weights at low viscosity and oil ( only holds true to gas engines-due to difference internally between gas and diesel engines)...

Sir, hindi naman "too thin" ang 30 na viscosity. Yan naman ang recommended and 40 viscosity. Check mo post ni Sir Miko above, safe naman ang ganyan na viscosity. Un nga lang personally, I prefer using 40 na viscosity. Kanya kanyang preference sir.... But 30 viscosity shoould do no harm to your engine. Huwag lang 20 eh anipis na talaga un... HTH.

Just wanna share.

I brought my Civic to Speedyfix around 1st wk of Feb for the tune up and change oil and to finally try the RP oil. Brought my own Baldwin filter and the spark plugs from Honda. They used 10w40 in my car.

Initial impression was just ok, almost the same as Idemitsu that Honda uses. But as weeks passed, that is where I saw the difference. It seems that my FC got better, no, waaaayyyy better. Before I can only get to as much as 355 to 360 kms before the fuel light appears, but now, it even reaches 400 kms. I was really surprised. When it comes to engine smoothness and responsiveness, I really don't feel that much difference with Idemitsu.

I think I have found my new oil. Medyo malayo nga lang ang Speedyfix sa amin but it's worth it.

Can't wait to try it on my Dmax and pair it with a Baldwin filter.

mga sir sa kababasa ko dito at sa kabilang thread "Remote Oil bypass filtration", okey na ba itong nabili kong Bosch + Caltex Delo Ultra Gold para sa 2C Toyota FX ko, o meron pang magandang suggestion?

TIA

[ronki]

Bosch is better than most OEM filters out there, and DGU is highly praised

Yung mas magandang suggestion naman, baldwin oil filter

wala kasing Baldwin sa Volmax para sa FX, at meron silang Donaldson PHP 580 pero made in Indonesia at yung Bosch in Indonesia din * PHP 280, kaya eto na lang ang kinuha ko.

eh yung ZIC vs. DGU?

Seaoil diesel nga pala ang gamit ko with 2T ...

I see no problem with that sir.

[nivraarvin]

Comparable ba Bosch Premium sa Baldwin? Mag switch na ko from oem dahil sa nabasa ko sa bitog.

[Retz]

ano nabasa mo sa bitog sir? I think baldwin/fleetguard is a notch higher than bosch.

Ung favorites nila dun, mejo mura lang sa kasi amazon. May nag sabi din kasi sakin na panget daw honda oem tapos nirecommend sakin ay baldwin. Thinking of switching since mejo malapit na ko mag palit ng oil and filter.
