motor oil for crosswind xuvi

**Palku** · December 2nd, 2004 03:21 AM

mga tsikoteers tanong ko lang po kung anong motor oil ang gamit ng casa ng isuzu sa crosswind xuvi at ilang litro po? balak ko po kasing i DIY yung change oil ng crosswind namin. e sabi po kasi sa casa na "stick to one brand of oil". daw po kasi. maganda din po kaya yung mobil delvac para sa 4JA1? maraming salamat po ule sa inyo.:bald:

Crosswind uses around 5L.

We don't listen to the CASA's "use only Isuzu oil"... :P Right now we're using the Petron Trekker (15W-40, API CH-4 rated). In the next oil change we'll be putting Caltex Delo Sport semi-synth.

Mobil Delvac is ok but i'd still suggest that you continue to change your oil every 5,000km even if you're using synthetic oil. Thus if you're on a budget, sticking to mineral or semi-synth will still do very well (what matters is you follow the oil change interval).

I personally use the fully synthetic of Petron on my Patrol. I think it's 5W or 10W-30.

Personally, also, I don't believe that the 30 SAE weight is too "malabnaw". My Patrol is 11 years old, and there really is no problem.

They say that if the viscosity is too light (malabnaw) it cannot protect the engine well or something like that. With the newer formulations, I think (again, my opinion and experience only) that there is no problem regarding this.

The advantage of a lighter viscosity oil is less friction and therefore slightly more power / better fuel consumption.

The disadvantage with too light a viscosity is that if you have an older car and the o-rings/gaskets/etc are not up to snuff, the lighter oil might seep out.

I personally change every 10k (but change oil filter every 5k and then just top off). Eh, kasi, Patrol ko 9-10 liters of oil, eh. Dalawa pa nga oil filter. I also add LiquiMoly additive (1/2 liter) every oil change.

I also don't believe that you should only use Isuzu oil... they're just selling.

if you're tight on budget use mineral or semi-snthetic oil. just follow the recommended viscosity and API rating in your manual.

otherwise go for the full synthetic.

thanks vinj, alfalfa, ram. maraming salamat sa inyo. siguro semi synthetic na lang gamitin ko. mahal yung delvac. yup tama nga siguro kayo. sinasabi lang nila na dapat "isuzu oil" para makabenta din sila. kainis kasi sa casa, change oil lang, maghapon mong iintayin.

alfalfa...dalawa pala oil filter ng patrol! ngayon ko lang nalaman yun ah.
