You're changing the oil in casa, that's the problem...

I get 4 quarts of a well-known brand of fully synthetic oil for around P2,300. I buy a legit oil filter for P500, and P80 for the crush washer. Then I let the oil change be done in a petron service center for only P250 for labor.

P2,300+P500+P250+P80 = P3,130 total

it was just P1080 for the oil change package, before they switched to shell

it was idemitsu mineral oil (vtec lev 10w30) and mahle filter. i used this oil exclusively for 17 years. then i sold the car with zero engine problems

moral of the story: don't overspend on motor oil. when it's time to sell the car all than fancy expensive oil makes no difference to the selling price

"expensive oil"

Guys using mineral oil are saving like, only P20,000 to P30,000 in a span of 10 years.

i do it sa casa kasi nga may regular oil lang sila dati.. so less than 2K lang with oil filter and labor na..

so you went from saying that FS is absolutely necessary to saying that it's ok to waste money as long as it's below a certain arbitrary amount

that's not really a valid argument. bro

Nah man, I didn't change my stance. I would still use FS oils for my personal, utmost peace of mind.

I am just reacting to people saying they save money by using mineral oils. As if naman ganun talaga kamahal yung synthetic oils.

250? Pre pandemic was 300 na dito sa amin, now it's 600. Just surprised, that's all.

Petron car care center din? Yup P250 lang labor sa kanila dito sa amin for oil change. Kaya nga di na ako nag DIY. 😂

By the way, magkano ba liter ng mineral oil ngayon sa shops? I'm seeing upwards of P300 per liter sa shopee. medyo nag mahal na din ah.

May Petron near my old place but I don't know if it's a car care center, pero may service bay sya, 300 din sya back then. So I presume 600 na rin sya as all the talyers around him are 600.

Kaya nga if I buy oil, filter and crush washer outside mas pag mahal pa sya ng konti sa Honda casa na mineral oil package, because of the labor. Kaso, sa labas, I don't have to wait too much kasi ako na agad.
