    Sa Seiring Araneta Avenue may Kixx Turbo RV. Di ako sure kung saan nakakahanap ng Zic e'

    Yung Top1 parang "pilit" na synthetic blend oil lang daw yun. Tsaka okay yun Kixx kasi sa Korea din mismo ginagawa yun oil, pasok sa requirement ng R engine.

    marketing term yung synthetic hehe

    unless 100% synthetic nakalagay, semi synthetic na yan. yung mga fully synthetic marketing term din lang. semi syn lang yun.

    yung Zic, korean made din. and naka lagay na sila yung largest semi-synthetic or group3 base oil manufacturer sa mundo. ito gamit ko ngayon.

    same here i use Zic UP. here's a pic of the Zic RV that the Kia plant recommends:



    i can refer you to jard gerona ng sulit where I bought my Zic UP and Zic A+ for our gasoline cars, just search for "zic oil" dun.

    *Fleas: Magkano kuha mo sa 8 liters ng Zic Up?

    Is it better than Zic RV?

    Thinking of using Zic for my 30,000km PMS then compare ko sa Motul which is damn expensive

    Edit: AH. Zic Up pala is Semi Synthetic, tapos RV yun fully synthetic.

    Kay Jard, Zic RV was about P240 per liter (if you buy the 6L container) last September. P280 per liter if you buy per 1L container as of last October naman.

    Mga P2K for 8L. Fully Synthetic na. CI-4 pa.

    Yep, semi lang ang Zic UP. i opted for UP instead of RV kasi first 5,000 PMS ko yun. just following the advice of people not to go fully synthetic in the first 10,000 kms. mag-Zic RV na ko when i reach 10,000 PMS ko.

    Kuha ko before is PHP 825 / 4L at PHP 225 / 1L from the sulit guy. Tapos there's some guy (midnight if i ever correctly) at Santa Fe Club selling 6L Zic RV at a good price. Sa kanya naman ako kukuha for my next PMS at para sa Santa Fe ng dad ko. Parang naging mausok yun SF with the last oil the casa put.

    Okay un Motul CRDI-specific kasi thinner siya at 5W-40. It's just expensive as you said

    Teka, Group 3 are the oils that won the legal battle to call themselves "Fully Synthetic", right? Group 5 are the "100% Synthetic" oils?

    As for me, I'm happy with Zic RV on the GS. Not the R engine, but requires CI-4. Zic RV is priced like a cheap semi-synthetic (or even mineral oil at casas), so if it is indeed "just" semi-synthetic in spec, ok lang. I'm hesitant to take the GS more than 5,000 kms anyways on a single oil considering it doesn't get much Italian tuneup by being a city dweller.
