Change Oil

[louiellopez]

Good evening po mga Bossing!

Nissan Sentra '93 po ang kotse ko, GA16DE ang makina. Ask ko lang po kung anong engine oil ang ok sa kotse ko kapag nag-change oil po ako. Tinitingnan ko po yung Havoline SAE 10W40, knowing na palaging sa Caltex Techron ako palaging nagpapakarga ng Gold. Kumpara sa 20W40 ano po ba ang pagkakaiba nun sa 10W40? Ano po yung magbibigay ng mas magandang performance?

Marami pong salamat!

Based on my old toycar which is a b13 sentra same as yours the best oil to use for daily is the 10w30. Fuel consumption is good and better acceleration. Multigrade oil can be simply explain as the 10w is use during start up, the lower the count the better the oil can travel inside the engine during start up. The 30 is how fast the oil can travel inside the engine during running due to its lightness, the lower the viscosity the better. The higher the viscosity the slower the oil travel due to its due to its heavier weight. Try looking for oils with seal conditioner since may kalumaan na yun engine to avoid oil leaks.

Best performance where in a GA16DE can handle based on my experience are the 5w30 oils. I cant say if its advisable for daily use. I only use this light oils every autocross, slalom, rwyb events before.

Thank you po mga bossing! Kahit ba anong brand ok lang? Kung minsanan lang gamitin yung kotse susundin ko pa rin ba yung every 5,000 kilometer - Change Oil?

[AKI125]

Any brand will do just check its specifically designed for gas powered engine. Its really up to you if you want to follow the every 5000 change oil for a vehicle that seldom used.

mas magandang gamitin yung castrol oils..imo lang naman

[AKI125]

Of all brands of oil in the market, i dont use castrol due to sludge issues

[zanch]

You can try Repsol oils.

What sludge issue? Used Castrol Magnatech 10w40 before in the Avanza and experienced no problem.

[AKI125]

How long have you been using magnatec?

[Ry_Tower]

How long have you been using magnatec?

2 years sa vanzy before.

One of my friend also using Castrol oil and doesn't have problems, but for me and other friends have experience that sludge issue of castrol oil, I don't why, maybe there is a fake Castrol oil?

[AKI125]

*RT: why did you stop using castrol for your avanza?

[louiellopez]

I tried to ask for 10W30 but unfortunately the shop that I went doesn't have it, so instead I've got the Top 1(US) brand 10W40. Mukhang ok naman,but I would still look for 10W30 on my next change oil.

Yeah same experience here.. something that I don't like about the castrol oils is the mush! been using the repsol and it works really good to me!

Used Caltex Havoline Fully Syn 5w30 na kasi and changed oil every 10K. So I need a FS na since matagal na palitan unlike sa Castrol na every 5K.

IMHO Castrol is very popular even in Motorcycles kaya its no wonder na if meron fake sa motor, baka nga pati sa car meron. Better buy from official distributors na lang siguro. Or use Shell Helix HX7 as an alternative since same lang halos sila ng rating.

RT, with your avanza, 2nz-fe engine? wala naman sludge issue with 10K oci?

Wala naman, malinis pa nga yung oil nung na-drain eh. Sabagay puro city driving lang kasi yun nung 3 years na nagamit ko at light traffic lang sa amin eh.

Tapos OEM air filter naman gamit kaya maganda din filtration. Sabagay 1 year ko lang nasubukan yung FS kasi dati (2 years) eh semi-syn lang gamit ko.

I'd recommend TOP1. It's a very good performing engine oil. since you've both 10w-40 oil already, it would be fine with your engine.
