tama si medyas, wala rin use ang expensive oil mo kung busted or mahina na ang filteration ng oil filter mo. i use mobil1 fully on my car but change the oil after 5,000 km.

agree! Citgo Supergard/Citgard, Total Quartz oils have now an API SM ratings too..just recently bought a Total Quartz 7000 Semi-Syn 15W50, luckily 'SM' rating na andun, even 20W50! mura din ng konti compared to some other well-known brands!

API CI-4 for diesel!

so far, mmm, mukang ok naman,..kaka oil change ko lang this morning,. smooth naman takbo and the engine as well. (as to my observation)

How much? So far, eto lang alam ko:
Mineral oil API SM 20W50 = P150/ltr.
Semi-Syn 15W50 = P230/ltr.... not sure baka nagtaas na sila!

..you can buy it at your nearest TOTAL stations.

They all work the same, as per regulations, they all have to meet the same standard and just added detergent makes them any different from any other brand. Synthetics is just that synthetic (engineered) and natural is derived from fossil oil. Just buy whatever is comfortable for you or on sale, and replace them at the recommended interval and your vehicle should be fine.
