Question on engine oil.

[lorenz75]

I only use my car (1996 Lancer) on weekends and when I go north. It has been six months since I have changed the engine oil, but it has not reached 5,000 kilometers yet. Should I change the oil now or wait until it reaches 5,000 kilometers? Thanks!

max of 6 months if lesser than 5K kms but much better kung at least
every 4 mos. sulit na yung oil mo for that long.

How 'bout if synthetic oil is used?

sir, whichever comes first.

since long drive naman ang gamit mo and during weekends when traffic is not that bad, you can get away with waiting until it reaches 5,000 kms. waist of money if you change it now.

pwede mo naman inspect yung oil, kung brown na pero mdyo transparent pa rin, pwede pa yon. if it's black, change it.

how many kms have you travelled so far? baka better to change narin just to be sure.

If gamit mo is Motul na HTEC 100 na fully synthetic. 5K pa din palit?

5000 kms or 6 months whichever comes first. standard yan for tropical countries like philippines..

with full syn you can go a bit longer pero don't push it too much.
