dati shell pero ngayon petron... kasi mas mura. pero pansin ko lang na parang masmalakas hatak ng shell. anyway, i also dagdag seaoil biodiesel once in a while... 1%-5% mix - for cleaner emissions (just had my registration done and I am very happy with my smoke emission results, one session lang pasado na agad).

Ever since I got my unit, Petron Diesel Max ang fuel ko. Sa oil naman, dati Turbo XP yung nilalagay ng casa. Pero pagdating ng 15k PMS ko, nag-decide ako na sa labas na lang ipalagay yung langis para mas mura (Arclight sa Shell Quezon Ave.). Pansin ko na medyo mas gusto ko yung andar nung naka-Turbo XP pa ako, pero okay na din yung Shell Helix Diesel. Sabagay, yun din yung advice ng mismong kapitbahay naming taga-Mitsu; pwede na ang mineral over synthetic. Basta follow religiously lang ang oil change every 5,000 kms.

OT: Kakatapos nga lang ng 20k PMS ko kahapon. Nakakatawa kasi pinresyuhan ako kahapon ng 1,400 sa Shell for oil change. Biniro ko lang yung technician, "ang mahal naman! Dala ko pa yung dati kong resibo, o!" Eh P1,216 lang yung nakasulat dun nung huling oil change ko last March. Tinignan niya tapos sabi sa akin, "sige sir, pwede na sa dating price."

Sinabay ko na yung palit ng air cleaner tsaka fuel filter since dala ko naman yung mga parts. Umabot lang sa P1,250 lahat-lahat, tip na lang ako. Tapos diretso na sa Diamond Motors Quezon Ave. para sa heavy check-up, cost me P3,315. May nakasabay pa ako kahapon sa Shell na isang Adventure owner din, mukhang nagpa-oil change din tsaka palit ng air filter sa '99 Adventure GLS niya. Hindi ko man lang naitanong kung member siya ng MAC. Pati sa casa kahapon, andaming Adventure units na nakapila sa maintenance bay. Kung meron sa inyong nagpa-PMS kahapon sa Diamond, baka nagkasalubong tayo. :D

Sa Adventure ko dati, sinubukan ko yung Mobil1 Super Syn 5w50. Pinapakarga ko palagi Unleaded, either Shell, Caltex o Petron basta kung san mura dun ako. Ang hirap lang tangalin Spark Plug ng Adventure, daming pa dapat tanggalin.

Honestly, walang masyadong difference, altho umabot ako once ng 8km/li pero thats just driving conditions playing a big part. Its just added peace of mind knowing that your using a fully synthetic oil in your engine. If you don't mind the price then go for it, but if your on a budget, stick to mineral and change every 5K kms.

In my experience, regarding diesel fuel:
New Oil Players: A bit unreliable with regards to quality. Minsan may duda ako na may halo ang diesel, either with water or kerosine.

Caltex: Malakas ang hatak compared to the others, but pinakamausok.

Shell: Tama lang, just in the middle. Tama lang ang hatak, at not mausok.

Petron: Cleanest of the three, but at the expense of hatak.
