Royal Purple Oil

[IMm29]

Hi Migs. Puwede ba mag engine flush muna, before pouring in the RP? I still have 3 cans of Caltex Flushing Oil left over, sayang naman. My last change oil is Mobil1 Fully Synth (0W50 yata - US made, not SG). What's your opinion on flushing?

PM'd you on 40k PMS.

The Caltex Power Flushing Oil works the same way as cheaper monograde oil used for the same purpose. It's not the type of flushing chemical added to your current oil then drained after 5 minutes. IMO, this is a less risky method of flushing. In my experience, it gets a lot of dirt out, but perhaps not as cleanly as flushing with the chemical.

Speedy, is it safe to use flushing chemicals every oil change? Or would that be overkill? When would you recommend we flush using chemicals, and not just ordinary or flushing oil?

nagtataka ako bat kaya mura change oil sa mga gas stations like shell..wala pa ata 1k sabi nung kasama ko na nagpachange oil.libre na daw labor and kasama na filter

They're using mineral oil most probably.

ok ang royal purple, 10w40 gamit ko
nagcompute ako and nadagdagan ang 1km ang gas mileage ko
bale galing 6-7km/l ngayon 7-8km/l based sa computation ko yesterday (taguig - ortigas)
overall naging smooth ang takbo lalo na sa gabi (siguro dahil malamig din)

ano ba talaga ang maganda sa climate natin 10w-30 or 10w-40?

nagpa change oil na ako yesterday kay speedy fix..10W-40 ang nilagay ko..initial reaction is naging smooth talaga ang engine and pati transmission oil ko nagpa change na rin ako and smooth shifting talaga...

since I came from mineral oil, I don't know kung maganda ba talaga ang RP or kasi synt oil siya..but over all maganda naman...

Mineral oil pro: good enough protection, relatively cheap, will last 5000 kms or 6 months some people change at 3 months.

Mineral oil cons: not as good and long lasting as synthetic.

Synthetic pro: excellent protection, can last 10,000 kms or 1 year. I think RP claims they can last longer than 10,000 kms.

Synthetic con: expensive

i also posted this sa kabilang thread..may nagsabi kasi pangit daw ang synthetic oil sa mga lumang engines.is it true?advisable din ba sa engine na 94 civic esi(efi type) ang synthetic na?

hinde naman masama ang syn oil, in fact kung mineral nga ok na rin eh what more kung syn oil, sinasabi lang na masama is baka magkaroon ng leak kasi luma na nga ang kotse, but hinde yun syn oil ang reason kundi sira na talaga in the first place yun mga seal, gasket, and since mas manipis ang syn oil compare sa mineral eh makaklusotyun mga oil sa mga gasket na hinde nangyayari dati sa mas makapal na mineral oil...

OT:
dude, naiilang talaga ako sa avatar mo...hehehhe

i had my ESi's oil changed kanina kina SpeedyFix. RP 10w-40 ang nilagay. may
natira pang almost kalahating bote.
ewan ko. wala naman akong napansin na malaking pagbabago.
pero eto lang masasabi ko sa service kina Migs - patok! hehehe... kaya lang may nagtago

sa susunod magdadala ako ng laptop (may wi-fi sila!).
