    hi guys,

    The halvoline energy blue has been phased out by caltex.. What would be a better substitute?

    btw, can I mix different brand as long as if has the same rating?

    Try Royal Purple 5w30 or 10w30. Its 100% synthetic oil. It gave me better FC compared to Havoline Energy.

    There is a thread about this oil. I belive the thread list the retailers. Just do a search.

    Castrol also has a 5W-30 blend that's also labeled as FC (fuel conserving).

    Am currently using Royal Purple 10W-30.

    Be careful though in using the 5W-30, not all engines can use that safely in the long run (check your car's manual for the recommended oil weight for our tropical climate).

    Oh nooooo! I'm due for an oil change pa naman! Ito ba yung nasa blue liter plastic containers labeled fully synthetic? I've been using this brand for some years now with good results. Can't remember if its 5-30w, is it? Can't seem to remember these numbers. Anyway, wala na ba nito?

    been a havoline energy user since nung semi-synthetic pa lang ito. hehehe.

    but due to the phaseout state nito, napilitan ako maghanap alternative. and good enough... found Royal Purple. same rating lang, 5w-30. and so far (2months using na) so good! try mo na lang din.

    Royal Purple retails for around 440 pesos per liter. Contact Speedyfix for a retailer near you. His number is on his sig.

    talking about alternatives for the 5w-30 fully synth, would it be really bad for the engine if i chose to use 5w-50 fully synth? what would be the after effect?

    between the 5w30 and 5w50 you will see a decrease in engine response and fuel economy due to the thicker viscosity.

    better to retain the 5w30 if that is what is recommended by the engine.

    imperialv, no problem bro

    Important additives in the engine oils go stale. Recommended shelf life before use is 3yrs. Use RP na lang the price is fair enough. For optimum reliability use FS tranny oil na rin.

    Ganoon ba. Unfortunately, Royal Purple doesn't have an oil with the correct rating for my engine (i.e. WSS-M2C913-B). My only two choices are Shell Helix F and Havoline Energy.

    in that case it's best talaga to use the oil that meets the engine requirements
