What type of engine oil do you use?

[userfriendly]

Havoline energy 5w30 will switch to Royal Purple 5w30 on my next service.

Toyota mineral oil on the Avanza, warranty pa kasi. Cant use other oils.

[sboogie]

mobil 1 5w-50 pinaka maganda ang takbo ng makina para sa akin.

ok lang yan...but to be on the safe side, papalitan mo na mga oil seals mo and yun head cover gasket mura lang naman yun mga yan...before switching to fully synthetic oil

Shell Helix Mineral Red

dati im using synthetic pero i switch back sa mineral, kasi sa observation ko wala rin pagbabago kasi dati nang maganda ang takbo at well maintaine ang engine. at di ako aniniwala sa sinasabi nilang pwedeng hanggang 10,000km bago magpalit kasi maganda pa ang oil, kasi paghinintay mo na 10,000km doble na ang contaminants ng oil at masama ito sa engine, hindi ng ito maiitim pa ang kulay kasi sa mineral medyo dark pag bago at ang syn almost colorless na ito, kaya yung dumi nila after 5,000km pereho lang sa kulay lang nagkaiba.

castrol crb

Kung fully synthetic gamitin ko, itim na rin the next week e. hehe.

[rayban7g]

now: Castrol Magnatec
before: Mitsu mineral

langya, tumahimik makina ko nung nagpalit ako to Castrol. mas gumanda pa takbo.

+1

agree to this one. naging smooth din takbo, easy cold starts pati...and one of the most affordable semi-syn in the market.

[speedyfix]

on diesels itim naman agad yung oil no matter what it is made of. even if you start the engine for 5 mins lang, pag akyat mo ng dipstick black na sya.

on high milage engines just match the viscosity you were using before when you switch to synthetic oil and you should be ok.

First post po.

Tanong lang. Ano po ang classification ng Valvoline Max Life engine oil? Yun kasi ang gamit ko sa 96 Accord ko. Ganda kasi nito sa mga old engine. Before na ka Shell Helix ako at nag le-leak yung oil pan at valve cover gasket ko, nung nag change ako sa valvoline after 1 week stop na yung leak. Smooth na smooth din ang tunog at start ng makina.

Regular ba yun o semi-synthetic?

[speedyfix]

it should say it on the bottle normally. look at the back.

it may just be thicker oil kaya nawala leak... problem is some oils tend to sludge and if the sludge is what is stopping the leaks then that is even worse.

[driver168]

Its not true during warranty you should use only toyota oil. you can use other oil as long as it meets the minimum specs of toyota oil. I have asked Toyota Phils. It wont void your warranty. Beware when change oil especially during first 1,000 km check up, dont allow them to flush your engine with engine flush oil, its not advisable AND IT WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD TO YOUR ENGINE. I experienced this to my toyota innova. Dont rely fully the service advisor, they are more interested on profit than service.

castrol crb. this is the best so far i tried for my adventure and XTO. malakas ang hatak.

migs, I also saw this valvoline max life at true value, viscosity I think were 10w-30, 10w-40...semi lang ba ito or fully synth na?

I think from what I remember meron yata silang additives for seal, gasket conditioner daw...

Just had my oil changed yesterday. I used Mag1 10w30 fully synthetic oil. 4.5 liters lahat. Cost nya per liter is P300 petot, made in USA per label. Oil used prior to this is Emerat 20w50. Also had my air filter and fuel filter replaced na rin.
