well, according lang naman sa mga references na cinite regarding sa filtration tests e nasa lowly ranks ang vic and company. siguro, maraming ngang pleats pero yung pagkapino ng filtering material nya ay hindi "at par" with the heavy duty brands kumbaga.

me no expert btw.

What i do is regualr oil change every 6 months using mineral oil.

Cleaner oil, happy engine at a fraction of the cost of 1 synthetic oil change.

Every 6 months regardless if if reaches 5k or not, sir?

^ yes sir.

Actually mas napapasama pa nga kung hindi gaano nagagamit ang sasakyan. Mas nagdedeteriorate ang oil kaya mas dapat palitan w/n 6 months.

But if it reaches 5000 kms by the 4th month, should i change oil already and not wait for the 6th month, sir?

5000 km or 6 months.
whichever comes first.

kuripot ako.
5000 km. period.

Same here ... every 5000 kms regardless of how many months ... heat degrades the additives in oil ... if vehicle is not used much there is no need to change oil every 6 months ... but if the vehicle is used in heavy traffic or idles a lot then you change every 6 months even if it's not 5000 kms yet ...

Yan din akala ko dati. I use Delo Gold. Mga Ph1,500 nagagastos ko for 7 liters.
Then I tried Zic X7 10w-30. Bought a 6 liter jug for Php1,500 plus Ph100 for shipping. Fully synthetic na yan.
So the economics doesnt apply to Zic hehehe. Go for Zic na lang.

ako nagpapalit pag nakita kong medyo maitim na yung oil, siguro mga 3-4 months, dont care kung ilan itinakbo nya, medyo magastos pero at peace ako, 8.5 years na rin kasi yung sasakyan

Sorry OT.
Bakit ganyan ka-mura yun zic? Kamusta naman ang quality sir compared sa Delo Gold?
