    Zic FS 5w30 (for gas) ain’t that cheap as before. They go for around 450 to 480 per liter now unlike before where you can get them for 100 less per liter.

    Amsoil or Pennzoil, which wins Championship? Let's find out! - YouTube

    I was searching for some good synthetic oil and I stumbled upon this video. Amsoil was crowned the champion in their test. What do you guys think?

    That’s good to hear. I think I’ll be using amsoil signature in the future for the ecoboost after warranty. I’ve been seeing some amsoil in shopee for P400+ to P600+ per quart. I actually ordered 4 quarts of the OE amsoil for the old Mazda 2... The seller said its authentic. I sure hope so since they’re priced pretty cheap.

    Been using that oil since after the warranty period.

    Best experience with using the oil was when I was still working in KSA.

    Used it in my company owned Toyota Camry.

    Used oil analysis provided excellent results. Although it was only on the 12k KM mark. I had no choice since company required to have the oil changed every 10k KMs.

    The label on the product from your lazada link is slightly different so i went to the AISIN website itself and the product there has a slightly different label.

    Engine Oil | AISIN ASIA

    It says PAO and Ester blend on the label. This means it is fully synthetic. The question you might want to ask is it is a Group III synthetic (fake synthetic among fully synthetic fanatics) or is it a Group IV synthetic (the only real synthetic according to the diehards). It really depends on the proportion and quantities of PAO and Ester that the oil contains. By the way Ester base oil is considered an ingredient of Group V synthetic oils which is the gold standard nowadays. However, its very easy for an oil manufacturer to put 10% PAO and Ester into the oil and call it a PAO and Ester blend so be aware of this.

    base oils are just that.. its just the base oil.

    no manufacturer ever required pao or ester.


    more important than base oil information is the approvals. acea c3 or a5b5 dexos 1 dexos2..

    Having a fully synthetic base oil is a good place to start plus i don't really see any downsides to buying an SN/CF and ILSAC GF5 oil with PAO and Ester for Php 375 per liter as long as its the right viscosity for your car.

    Nag-try ako ng Pertua APEX, after 1 week pinalitan ko na, switch to ZIC Fully Synthetic.

What brand of engine oil do you use?
