October 22nd, 2015 04:55 PM #1Hi, my car Toyota Altis 2003 model 1.6G just underwent top engine overhaul because of oil sludge. Before kasi nagpapachange oil ako every 10k and I am using fully synthetic oil before.
Right now, magpapachange oil ako every 4000 km para maiwasan na po yun oil sludge kasi from what I had heard medyo prone to oil sludge daw mga Altis at Vios. Kahit ordinary motor oil na lang po gamitin para mas mura basta every 4k ang palit.
What oil can you recommend and also for flushing. Balak ko po kasi ako bibili ng oil tapos papachange oil ko na lang sa mga Servitek para mas mura.
I am looking right now at Castrol 20W-50 ok po ba ito? 1 Gallon is P850. If change oil daw, bibili ng 1 gallon at isang maliit.
Please recommend exact model and brand of motor oil and flushing that I can use and please specify amount and saan po makakabili. Im from Manila area. Thanks.

20w50 is too thick. check your owner's manual for the recommended oil viscosity first. then let us know, and we'll suggest affordable and good quality oil.

I agree with sir crazy_boy, 20w/50 is too thick. Better if you could have the 20w/40/30 15w/40/30 10w/40/30.

20w50 is in the manual. 10w40 also. Any 10w40 or 15w40 na mineral oil pwede na. Shell delo castrol.. 200 per liter range usually.

Sir,
Magtanong lang ako ng ilang bagay:
1. Yun previous na oil changes ninyo, yun 10k ilang buwan inaabot?
2. Ilan na po ba yun total mileage ng sasakyan ninyo?
3. Ano po brand nun FS oil na gamit ninyo noon at anong grade?
4. Saan po kayo nagpapa change oil noon? If sa labas po, sino po nag provide ng langis?
5. Regarding flushing, diba kaka top overhaul lang so no need
6. Nun nagpa top overhaul kayo, as in yun cylinder head lang ba binakas nila o nag dukot sila ng pistons?
7. Paano po ba driving habit ninyo? Short trips? Stop & go traffic? Long distance?
Thanks

October 22nd, 2015 08:38 PM #9ok ang 20w-50... ang mali mo lang kase eh di ka sumunod sa owners manual for severe conditions sa pag change oil, ang naka lagay 5000 km or 6 months which ever comes 1st... wala naman naka lagay dyan kung fully synthetic o hinde... meaning any kind of oil basta pasok sa API specs pwede...

IIRC they're with AVID. The reported numbers in the TG article are from CAMPI.
