    change oil... of the car's engine? it is a requirement, po.
    nasa owner's manual ang schedule and oil specifications. best to stay faithful to it.

    no, it will not directly affect your car's appliances.
    but if something happens to the engine because of oil issues, then most of those electrical appliances will be affected, because they get their electricity from the alternator that is run by the engine.

    Any one using 0w20 or 5w20?
    The Toyota Corolla manual specified both oil, but most of us here either use 5w30 or 5w40.
    (Currently using 5w30 for Altis 2011). Will it be too thin kaya for our conditions here?
    I really would wanna try and go back to what the manual recommends.

    Wala kasing 5w20, mas common ang 5w30, 0w20 naman sobrang mahal. 5w30 ako sa 2013 Civic ko.

    IMO. if your car is working perfectly on the current oil you're using, better stick with it.

    it's a 10 year old engine... oil seals are not what they used to be.

    Sa init dito sa clima natin, di bagay ang 0W-20. I don't use it, even if my manual says its the preferred viscosity.
    Yung manual was written for a "Generic" market, not specifically for a market sa tropics, kaya ang daming translation din, tapos may disclaimer pa for variants in EU or Asian markets.

    Hindi naman masisira car mo if you use 0W-20 oil here, but personally, I don't recommend it. Kahit sinthetic pa ayan, ang lightest viscosity sa clima natin should be 5W-30 if your emphasis is more on engine protection rather than increased fuel economy.

Is it ok to have changing oil viscosities?
