vic at union oil filters din kadalasan ibinebenta ng mga gas stations...

fyi guys, havoline energy synthetic is fully synthetic as per their website and according to its product manager from CPInc.

boss chieffy, nagpakarga ako ng havoline enery synthetic sa isang 75thou km na civic vti. dating oil ko shell semi-synthetic (blue). binabantayan ko yung makina kung meron leak dahil nga manipis ito, so far wala pa naman. city driving lang po ako, at average ko ay ten thou km per year. kailan po dapat ako mag-papa-change oil ulit (after how many km) given na fully synthetic pala ang havoline energy? thanks.

i'm using it right now...i want to extend it to 10tkm(just don't forget to change your oil filter upon reaching 5tkm) pero kahit sa 7.5tkm masaya na ako (given my driving habits)...pakiramdaman mo rin...based on experience yung Havoline Fully Synthetic(gray container 5w-40) 7.5tkm lang nagtagal sa akin, di na maganda yung takbo....panay kasi ako hataw nung gamit ko siya(madalas 5500 rpm redline pa paminsan minsan)...feeling racer ha ha

On oil flushes, its not adviseable to use it always, esp the "5 minute idle" ones. I think its because they have some strong elements that may harm the engine.
