    Havoline energy is semi-synth. technically it goes up to 7,500 kms per oil change pero sobrang labnaw na nun. i would suggest changing it in between 5,000 - 6,000 kms.

    i have also talked to a caltex mechanic during my last oil change. they are still recommending the 5,000 kms interval for Havoline energy just to make sure.

    tigerwoods,
    i think havoline energy is just mineral oil with some fuel-saving "ingredients" (for lack of a better term). Perhaps dexlab can help us here. I change my oil every 5,000 kms.

    ingat lang po sa pagbili ng havoline energy, yung P800.00 na available sa market ay fake daw, ayun sa caltex...nakabili kasi ako nun, wala pang 3 months maitim na lub oil ko...nabili ko yun sa isang auto shop ng intsik at made in Europe ang nakalagay...Kaya ngayon sa caltex express lube ako nabili ng havo energy....
    peace!

    depende yan kung pano ka magdrive kung palaging stop and go traffic driving dapat 5,000km or earlier kung madumi na yung oil.
    pero kung long drive naman at bihira matraffic 7,500 would be just fine.
    maganda rin ang langis na dumudumi kaagad kasi sure ka yung dumi napupunta sa langis at di dumidikit sa engine internals
    IMHO

    just had my oil change sa caltex express lube, hope to improve my car's fuel mileage The cost of the oil change was 1,395 pesos (includes 4 liters of Havoline energy, oil filter and free vacuum and clock pa! ) + Caltex oil flushing of 95 pesos each (3X).

    follow the recommended oil change interval of your car manufacturer. it should be written in your car manual.

    fake havoline energy? havent heard of that yet.

    "wala pang 3 months maitim na lub oil ko" - it means that the oil is cleaning your engine. your 3 months, how far have you ran?

    For your info, the black container with "made in Europe" tag is the original package of Havoline Energy when it first debut in the market. The bluish-gray container is the repackaged Energy which is made in Singapore (which explains the higher cost compared with the European made Energy). This I know, coz' I'm one of the Havoline Energy user who attested the benefits derived using Energy (sa other board pa when they are still carrying/advertising the Mobil1 0W40 tri-synthetic). :D

    And regarding sa mabilis umitim yung langis - it is a good sign that the motor oil is doing its job of cleaning the engine internals (dirt/combustion acids suspended in the oil) and is only normal especially if your car is ran under severe driving conditions (stop and go, long idling, dust/pollution, heavy traffic, short trips, etc.). The oil darkening serves as an indicator to change the oil. 8)

    Friends, when buying Caltex Lubricants and other products, always check the foil seal. It should have the word "CALTEX" embossed or printed on it. In the case of Havoline Energy (black container-Europe; blue container-repacked-Singapore) it's seal should have an embossed "CALTEX" word on it. HTH ;)

    Sa 10k ok na yun, pero yung sa friend ko every 20k or 1 year use, regular inspection lang sya every 3 months, and change filter every 6 months and dagdag konti. Sa Trooper V6 nya gnagawa yun at sa patrol 3.3turbo. Ok naman ang makina nya. Mahal din kasi synthetic kung change oil ka every 5k?

    Havoline Energy is a Group 3 oils unlike Mobil 1 supersynthetic oil na Group 4 oils.. that means it performs like fully synthetic but mineral oil pa rin siya.

    I do 5k change oil pa rin for Havoline Energy.
