Tune Up & Change Oil --- When is the best time?

**oj88** · January 26th, 2009 05:44 PM

As has been said, it's easier to follow the maintenance schedule as written on the manual. However, base it under "extreme conditions", which is what driving in Metro Manila is like (ie. long idle times, relatively short traveled distances, stop and go traffic, etc.)

When changing oil, never use an engine flush. It's never good for your car. It may help loosen up sludge on very old neglected engines, but it's not necessary if you change your oil regularly.

The best practice is to use good quality oil, genuine oil filters and follow the manufacturer-recommended oil change interval.

stick to one kind of oil. don't keep switching back and forth imo.

You can buy the oil you want and go to a reputable shop or mag DIY or do the PM sa isang reputable shop or gas station.

Re. rapide, try to do a search. marami kang malalaman.

I did buy Royal Purple oil good for 2 sets of change oil and good for one year, and then I buy oil filters from ACE. Then go for Shell station near my house for change oil service which cost P300.

Last time I did change tranny and differential oil at Shell it cost me P950 all in all. Labor + 5 liters oil
