Semi-synthetic oils on diesel engines

[amacatan]

Hello,

Hingi lang ako comments on using semi-synthetic oils on diesel engines. I currently use regular oil on my diesel ride pero parang gusto ko i-try yung semi-synthetic. Semi-synthetic lang kasi I find the fully-synthetic oils too expensive e. Also, even if I decide to change to semi-synthetic oil I still would want to change it regularly at 5K intervals.

Lastly, I have read somewhere that when you switch to synthetic oil you will not be able to go back to using regular oil? Is this true?

Thanks!

Most semi-synth oils use a mineral base oil plus synthetic additives so the advantages of synthetic oils is not really realized. If you're changing every 5k km, then just stick to a good mineral oil.
Haven't seen any problem switching from synth to mineral again- i've done it.

meaning not really advisable to shift to semi-synthetic..... rather mineral oil na lang * 5k maintenance..... all the while i thought this semi-syn is better than mineral.....

Semi-synth is better than mineral in a lot of aspects. But if you regularly change your oil every 5,000 kms then it's not really worth the added expense.

sir.... have you heard of the brand "per'tua" na semi-syn daw..... coz they're selling at P150/ltr compared to castrol gtx for diesel.... would it be worth a try? salamat po! :question:

[OTEP]

Per'tua is an additive. NO, I would not buy it. Nor would I pour one in my engine if they gave it to me for free.

[e_chen]

otep..... thanks! thou there is this new packaging that says "semi-synthetic engine oil" daw and not an additive...

ok na yan sir but we usually use it for our trucks. Though yung trekker ata ang semi synthetic oil ng Petron.

I've been using Delo Sports (Caltex Diesel Semi-synthetic) for the last 2 5K km oil changes and haven't recognize any considerable change on my engine behavior. Maybe I'm not that sensistive.
