why is havoline not long life ??

the reason why I want to try 5w30 is because my usage is frequent stop & go .. turn on the car in the morning, go to the office and turn off the car .. during lunch time, turn on the car, drive the car after a minute of starting it ... most of the time after I ran the car slowly after 30sec to 1min of cold start and I want the oil to circulate faster ..

I just want to make sure that i wont damage my 4afe engine by running 5w30 on it .. some say that an oil too thin will not circulate properly on some engine ...

Thick oil sticks more than thin oil thats why thick oil will more likely be harder to disperse

Subukan mong maghalo ng halaya mangangalay ka agad kaysa maghalo ng arnibal

200K plus na odometer paj ko. Yan na din gamit ko. High mileage ng Shell. 1 year or 10,000kms bago ako change oil. Ok naman so far.

the reason owners manuals include 30 and 40 weights is that they will work.

bro, kamusta naman fuel consumption?

balak ko din mag high mileage ng shell kaso 15W-50 ang nakikita kong viscosity. kapag 40-weight oil kasi gamit ko, nag le leak after 2k kms sa crankshaft oil seal (sakit na ng makina ko, pero kapag bagong change oil, walang leak)

currently using Zic X7 10W-40, may pawis na ng konti sa oil seal, currently at 1k kms on this oil.

386k kms mileage.

Nasa 6km/ltr sa city tapos 9-10km/ltr if highway. 15w50 gamit ko kasi nga luma na sasakyan. Yan talaga ideal.
