Change Oil out of Casa

[tomtom]

I'm due for my next change oil for my Dmax and the warranty expired last month. My plan is to have the change oil outside the casa to save on expenses. Please furnish any answers on the following:
a. Brand of oil (I've heard that fully syntetic oil can be up to 10000kms, is it true?

b. brand of fuel filter and oil filter (is it advisable to still buy isuzu branded filters?)

c. brand of air filter?

d. reputable shop for change oil within QC area

e. any other points that I might have overlooked or need to know

Maraming salamat po

Gamit ko ngayon Zic X7000 15w40 with bosch filter .... K&N air filter.

Fully synthethic pwede yan 10th kms just make sure to use a very good filter as well.

Does that mean bosch filters will do for 10k kms, sir? How much average price for bosch and k&n filters sir? Are there any others things i need to know?

i have mine done at the friendly neighborhood gas station. they have a promo. last time, it cost me almost 2000 bucks, hecho derecho. mineral oil only and oil filter change (whatever they have; zic nga yata), every 5000 km.
yung air filter, pinapabugahan ko ng compressed air. basta hindi pa basa ng langis, at mukha pang disente, ok pa sakin yon. i know i know. bad practice and all that. kayo na po bahala kung anong air filter ang gusto nyo.

That's actually a good practice with the air filter ... as long as it's not torn and broken just spray with compressed air ...

What's the advantage of using mineral oil, sir?

accdg sa thread regarding filters e hindi...hanggang 3k or 5k tops lang ang bosch.....yung bosch na made in vietnam/malaysia ay cheaper than the vic equivalent.

switch to OE heavy duty filters gaya ng baldwin, fleetguard, donaldson, ............

reagrding air filter, oem specs is still the best for me (my truck)....balance between power and engine lifespan.

hindi ko na binubugahan ng hangin ang air filter ko. tinatap ko lang para matanggal yung mga coarse particles. additional filtering material din (daw) yung mga kumakapit na fine particles.

tapos palit na lang kung due na talaga.

regarding sa engine oil (mineral o synthetic), sundan mo na lang kung ano recommended. in my application kasi e impraktikal gumamit ng synthetics.

gamit ko baldwin filter, mobil mx (5k kms) at caltex super diesel (3-4k kms).

To be honest, economic advantage. Mas mura ng di hamak eh.

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.

Tanong ko lang sa mga expert ng oil filter. Bat yung mga nakita ko pics sa net ng baldwin and fleetguard mas konti ang fleats nya compared sa vic oil filter? Diba dapat mas maraming fleats mas maganda. Pero mas marami talaga fleats yung vic. Di kaya fake yung mga yun. Vic user ako wala naman problem na encounter sa engine.

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....

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

[sirkosero]

^ 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.

[Walter]

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.

[seymorebutts]

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?
