mixing different engine oils

[redorange]

it's still above the minimum line. around 25% midway between the minimum and the maximum levels sa dipstick.

medyo nakaka-worry lang talaga. anyway, due naman na for oil change.

Are you checking when the engine is cold before start up? If that's level you have when it's already warmed up then you should be fine, and even if it was cold you should still be fine as you are still above the minimum line anyways.

imho, if you are topping up, make sure you use the oil with the same viscosity. it does not matter what brand, but what is more important is the viscosity.

Different manufacturers might have used diff. additives that could react with each other.

It is better to use oils from a single manufacturers for compatibility.

i'll just leave it be muna. a few hundred kilometers na lang naman due na for changeoil.

if you've got to top up just do so with the same viscosity full syn oil.

Sirs,

makikisakay na lang din ako, hope you won't mind. I was wondering when would I do a change oil? I am presently using 10w30 synthetic oil - Mag1 brand. I am doing at least 10,000 kilometers a month. Pwedeng every 3 months? 6 months? Your suggestions please. .

10,000 kilometers a month? whoa! :jawdrop: you should do a changeoil every month kung ganun.

kahit naka-synth ako, for peace of mind i still do the 5k changeoil if my budget permits.

*speedyfix
see you soon for the changeoil. pa-check ko na rin kung may leaks (feeling ko malutong na yung gasket).

10,000 Km per month. Grabe! Taxi ba?

pag 10,000 per month, monthly ang change oil with change ng oil filter every 5,000 Km

Sir,

Mali pala computation ko, its around 2,100 kms a month ( 85 kms/day x 6 days a week). Hehehe . . .

Sa Toyota pag mineral oil ang gamit mo, change oil every 5,000 or 3 months which ever comes first.

Sa akin, slightly more than 2 months lang ang 5,000 Km.

it's 4k+ kms in 2 mos? with a fully synthetic, better to schedule an oil change every 8-9k kms regardless kung ilang months na.
