Montero Sport PMS Thread

[Mconvert]

Try calling other dealer Mike, even 9 liters is over. My monty used only 8 liters during 1K PMS at DCT Holdings Corp. You can choose between their Turbo XP 560/li. or the Motul CRDi at 450/li. I am also thinking to go Mineral on my 10K. 10K kms interval is not advisable on diesel engines even its FS. Sobrang itim na, tapos they will recommend engine flush???

They actually insisted to use the synthetic type. Recomemded daw.....Pero I insisted on the mineral oil.... Lately lang naman yung synthetic oil recommendation. Yung mga nauna na montero mineral oil naman eh. Hindi ko pa nagustuhan yung explanation sa akin re sa difference ng synthetic pati ordinary. Mas matipid daw sa diesel consumption pag synthetic... AYYY SUS! Anyways, sa 5000 pa ako gagamit ng synthetic....

Synthetic Vs. Mineral Oil

The only basic difference between synthetic oil and mineral oil, apart from its manufacture and origin, is the molecular and particulate structure of both the lubricants. Synthetic oil being a perfected product, has a very even and uniform structuring of molecules and particulates. On the other hand, mineral oil contains uneven and less uniform molecules as compared to synthetic oil. Now, when the car, engine, piston and piston block is new, it is always advisable to use, mineral oil. The uneven molecular structure of mineral oil makes the uneven surfaces of the components and auto parts rub with each other and erode, thus making the surface even and smooth . This is very useful, as the young components of the engine get into shape and adapt to the mechanism. As the engine grows older, the components, get into shape and start running swiftly without any friction. This is where one should start using synthetic oil. This oil basically keeps the engine in shape and helps in increasing the durability of the engine.

Well, with oil you get what you pay for and it's what's not in the oil that matters as addative packs vary in quality too. Many oils are made to a budget because in many applications it does not matter, afterall "any oil is better than no oil".

any comments about using semi-synthetic oil on our montys? Had my 1000km oil change using mitsu mineral oil and planning to use semi-synthetics on the following 5000km pms.

Sang-ayon ako dyan. Kaya ako nang magpa 1k PMS pinapili ako nang service manager kung mineral or synthetic oil ipapalagay ko. So I decided to choose mineral oil para yung mga dumi nang metal maflush at 5k PMS. At 5k PMS plano ko mineral oil ulit. Sa 10k PMS na ako magpu-fully synthetic. Hindi tunay na fully synthetic ang requirements nang mitsubishi. So dapat lahat nang dealer fully synthetic ang ginagamit. Dyan pala sa citimotors pinapasubcon ang PMS. Tapos per sasakyan ang bayad sa subcontractor. Yun ang dahilan kaya tinatago ang sasakyan. Kung hindi ka mabusisi sa sasakyan mo kung minsan daw hindi raw napapalitan ang oil filter. Ano kaya yung factory oil na gamit nang mitsubishi sa thailand dahil kung titingnan mo yung kulay clear na clear?

yes, that's what i noticed then. good thing i saw the whole process when they put in 2 gallons of turbo xp fully synthetic during the 1K PMS. i'm on my 5K and no choice but to follow the 1 liter top up and oil filter change.
