    How hard are you running your vehicle?

    If you change the oil every 5,000 kms, mineral-based oil will do fine (may sobra pa, pang-gimik). Even in the bump and grind traffic of the metro.

    If you are running a turbo or super charged engine at high speeds for extended periods of time or using the vehicle for racing then synthetics are a good choice.

    Singit ako:
    Engine : 4D56 Intercooler Turbo (PAJ gen1)

    KM Reading : 159k

    Due for change: 160k

    Oil used before : Petron Synthetic

    I like to change every 5k kaya lang medyo mataas na yung km. reading. I use it for everyday work with the occasional long drive to the province every 3 weeks.

    So ano ok mineral or synthetic?

    frt,

    If your engine is not eating any oil then i'd continue using the Petron synth oil, it's still the best protection for the turbo.

    What oil filter have you been using? Any problems with engine?

    Mobil1 fully synthetic nasa 1800-2k (5w-50)

    Mobil super S.. ganyan gamit ko dati sa civic ko... (10w-40) around P950+

    Ngayon Petronas Syntium Fully synthetic na gamit ko. mas better pa sa Mobil1 since API SL rated na sya. 5w-50 din viscosity

    Got it for P1350

    i am using the TOYOTA full synth oil, sabi elixir daw ang gumawa, same as yung gumawa ng mitsu high perf na mga oil, yung pang racing nila.

    its around 2,200 yung isang change oil ko plus 300 na oil filter, lahat po casa. kaya wag na kayo magtaka kung bakit mahal.

    i would like to change to mobil1, pero i think 0w-50 ata yung rating, mas maganda daw ang 5w-50 or 15w-50 dito sa atin, is that right? hehe

    yeah. synthetic na. ako i use mobil 1 fully synthetic para ok. kasi kung magpalit ako ng oil every 10k km. since ang synthetic, sa worse case scenario, kahit 50k pwede. pero balik tayo sa oil, ok yun. ilang taon na yung ride mo? kasi it really depends on how stressful ang traffic situation na sinasagupa mo, add to that yung driving style mo. kung ala formula 1 driver or rally driver ka e dapat lang na synthetic. pero kung passive drive ka naman, ok i think ok lang siguro yung mineral based oil. basta ba regular lagi ang palit.
