yung suzuki swift ng utol ko ipapa-5000km check, first time.
anu ba dapat ang recommended na oil para sa first maintenance check? synthetic agad? semi muna? o ordinary (mineral oil)?
ang sabi daw maganda ang mineral oil sa bagong engine. medyo nagbasa na din ako internet about engine oils. bago magpost dito sa forums.

pero mas maganda pa rin kung may inputs galing sa mga experts dito sa forums, hehe.
yung free na oil change ng suzuki ang gamit nila yung ordinary, X4. Dapat ba mag-ordinary na lang yung utol ko? kasi yun daw ang free nila. Yung valvoline semi-synthetic at valvoline synthetic 401 php at 701 php ang cost sa casa, respectively. hindi ko rin alam kung magkano mga to sa labas
TIA!

From what I've read, synthetic is better for new engines. Mineral oil for older engines, kasi mas manipis ang synthetic and mas may tendency magleak in older engines

September 7th, 2006 10:01 AM #7I guess we're talking about breaking in the engines right? I will still put mineral oil until 10000km's,why?maybe i'm still an old skool guy.Mineral oil has lower shear strenght that can easily help in engine wear. "The added friction and surface abrasion that mineral-based oils provide actually helps to seat the valves and create even mating surfaces between parts during the first several hundred miles".

As I've always said, if you are not using the vehicle for racing or anything extreme, just use the manufacturer recommened lubricant (NOT DEALER RECOMMENDED, magkaiba yun kasi madaming dealer na mukhang pera so check the owner's manual) and save yourself a ton of cash.
Using the recommended oil and changing at the recommended interval still provides the best cost/benefit ratio.

I've read the manual. oil viscosity of 10-30 ang kailangan. hindi naman nakasulat kung synthetic o mineral.
mag-semi-sythetic na lang ako, baka mas safe.
as for the price of valvoline (semi-synthetic), anong presyo nito sa labas ng casa?

Recommended oil is mineral by default (if not indicated) as per industry standards.
They only indicate oil type if you need to use semi-synth for fully synth.
