What type or oil do you recommend for mini 998 engine?

[jdmralliart]

i'm about to change engine oil of the mini...
i have MOTUL oils on stock but somebody advised me to use engine oil specified for motorcycles--straight 40 daw since the clutch is integrated..
can anyone recommend specific oils used for mini?
i was hoping i could use the esther based MOTUL hTech100 fully synthetic SAE10W40 kaso mas maganda daw yung 300v intended for motorcycles..

thanks in advance..

sir before ginamit ko sa 998 a/t penrite 450/liter sa Ride ko nabili 4X4 shop yun sa may pasong tamo. ok naman sa tingin ko performance kaso medypo madugo lang ang price per liter and I have to use almost 7liters per change oil.

Pareng Kamoteman, dalawa bang makina nakakabit sayo dati at kinaylangan mong 7 liters na langis? hehehe... Musta na Bro? Longtime no see!

Sir, based on experience masmaganda gamitin ang diesel oil since makapal ang viscosity nito. By the time uminit ang oil mo when running eh tamang tama na ang viscosity nito for the engine. Let me explain. If you use 20/50 oil eh madaling numipis ang langis since the engine and transmission share one type of oil.Yung viscosity ng 20/50 oil na malamig pa eh would be the same as the viscosity of a diesel oil na maiinit na. Consult mo yung David Vizard book on engine modifications, he actually recomends using diesel oil. Kung gusto mo naman mag20/50 then put additive para kumapal ang langis mo.

pareng batman yun kasi kadami ang nagamit kong langis nung matic makina ko. di ko na lang alam kung pati radiator eh nilagyan din nga langis kaya ganun kadami!
meron pa bang meet sa p.g.? di na ako nakakareceive ng "makakata" mong text!

Sounds logical, since integrated nga ang gearbox and differential unit to the main block. Independent gearbox and differential unit of other conventional cars feed on very thick oil. A supervisor in a service station recommended diesel oil to me also when he discovered the unique integration of our cars' engine components. High temp rating daw kasi ang diesel oil kaya hindi madali lumabnaw. Makes sense... and now that Sir Batman had affirmed it... I'll try it.

Hahaha... , Heto kasing si pareng Harry eh madaming pangbili ng Pentrite kaya 7 na liters ang nilagay. Joke joke joke

Pareng Harry, I havent been active with the club for a long time now. Medyo concentrate muna ako with work kasi kailangan kumita at may pinakakain na. Forward ko na lang number mo to Mr. Secrtry para he can include you in the mass txt invite. Yun nga lang hindi na makatha ang mga txt msgs. hehehe....

Sir Batman, ako din po pa join din po. Sana makapunta din ako sa P.G. minsan para makapagfill-up na ng form (meron po ba?)

[iddo]

sir batman tanong ko lang mga ilan liters ng diesel oil ang kailangan sa mini? salamat ulit.

Sir Iddo, 5 liters for manual and 5 1/2 liters for matic engines.

salamat po sa mga inputs..
Delo Gold kaya mas better than using the oils recommended for 4stroke motorcycles?

Yes pare mas ok yan than that of the motorcycles. Malabnaw ang mga pang motor na oil.

[miniracer]

dagdag ko lang, di kasama ang clutch ng mini with the oil, as opposed to motorcycles which has its clutch plates and disc in there with the gearbox and engine oil. Motorcycle oils has certain additives to make it less slippery so the clutch will function properly. I personally use and prefer normal 20w/50 oil but will not use synthetic oils since they are very slippery and thin making the job of the synchronizers in the gears even harder. Diesel oils have more detergents to counter the increase blow by dirt a diesel engine has due to high compression (20:1) kaya mabilis umitim. Both types of oil will work in a mini engine.

mga bro anybody can help kung anong oil filter ang pwedeng gamitin for the mini

Sir gamit namin na replacement eh pang corola (C-111) part number. Pareho din ng pang mini yan, its about P120 or lower pa. If you want orig, kay rover mga P800 ata.

[vince168]

Yes.. swak na swak yang C111 (Vic brand). Ganyan naka kabit ngayon sa mini ko. I cant seem to find yung FRAM brand na dating naka-kabit. Hmm.. 800 mahal din no im guessing Unipart filter yan.

OT: Sir Batman ano naman po sukat ng fan belt ng mini balak ko kasing bumili ng spare belt pang baon pag bumabiyahe? Thanks.

Sir chek mo na lang yung fanbelt mo since may naka sulat naman kung ano size duon. Iba iba kasi sukat ng belt depending on what type of waterpump pulley you have. and ofcourse kung anong a/c compressor ang gamit mo.

[vince168]

Thanks.. check ko na lang ikot ko nalang para sumakto sa mga number markings ng belt. I have a standard 998 A+ and no A/C. Brand ng belt is Halfords
