synthetic oil change oil interval question/s

**artpogi** · September 29th, 2003 05:02 PM

Para sa mga may daily driven car na naka fully synthetic oil dyan, ilan kilometers bago kayo nagpapa change oil?

Do you still follow the 5000 kilometer interval or do you go for 10K interval since naka fully synthetic na kayo?

Just normal driven car lang ha, not used for tracks.

pareng artp, i had only used fully synth once, i had it changed around 7500 kms. parang di kasi ako mapakali eh. ngayon balik na naman ako sa semi-synth * 5,000 kms, oil drain interval.

ot: pare, checked din bushings ko dun sa mga rear katok as we discussed on a separate thread. ok naman bushings ko, malamang madumi nga lang.

Happy_g,

okay, i guess I'll stick with semi-synth and 5K interval.

as for the rear noise, sa akin bushings were fine too, sa tingin ko shocks talaga yung problem ko

It's still best to change it every 5k pero para sulit you may change it every 10k pero palit oil filter every 5k pa din.

ano ba ang pinapalitan at ginagastusan sa change oil? sorry po wala kasi ako alam sa mga ganyan, alam ko lang per 5k km dapat change oil. d2 kasi malapit samin may nakalagay change oil 75 pesos lang. ang mura na ba nun? meron na din ako nabiling oil Castrol GTX w/ sythetic guard, yung malaki, like more than 4 liters yun, 1L palang ang nagagamit ko. yung bang 75 pesos eh labor lang yun? ano pa bang dapat palitan (eg oil filer, ano pa ba? may oil seals ba?)

ok bang bibili muna ako nun sa labas then dalhin ko nalang dun sa change oil shop, or sila na ang mag po provide nun?

salamat

pareng jan, pag change oil, normally drain and palit lang ng langis tsaka ng oil filter. dami kasi variants ng langis which are: mineral, semi-synth and synthetics. normally kasi ang oil drain interval is based on the number of kilometers na tinakbo ng oto mo, or mga 5,000 kms. yung synthetics, may added additives yan tsaka cleaners which make it possible for you to add up or to lengthen your oil drain intervals, possibly up to 10,000 or double the usual.

however, yung oil drain intervals too are affected by certain factors namely: yung condition ng daily driving mo, kung parating stop and go traffic, medyo it possses additional load sa langis yan. o halimbawa dinaan mo sa baha.

here in tsikot o maski sa car manufacturers ang recommended is yung 5000 kms. pero since there are lots of guys here who use synthetics, we try to lengthen nga yung intervals dahil mas mahal yung fully synthetic oil compared to minerals and semi-synths.

yung question ni pareng artp is like that since naka synthetics sya, he is trying to get opinion on pips here on the average oil drain intervals of synth users. ;)

pareng artp, tingin ko nga mas ok na rin yung semi-synth dahil in my experience, maski naka fully synth ako, parang naatat na rin akong palitan yung langis ko pag tungtong ko ng 6,000 kms. mas mahirap kasi kung yung engine ko mag-suffer.

pareng jan, yung 75 pesos, malamang labor yun. normally oil filter lang sa change oil.

1 liter pa lang nagagamit mo? normally kasi sa small sedan or cars, its around 3.2 to 3.5 liters ang laman ng langis nun eh.

i suggest na para safe, you bring your car to gasoline stations and try to get their change oil packages. normally it costs around 1k to 2.5k depende sa oil na gagamitin mo. it includes cost of labor, oils tsaka yung oil filter.

if by chance na malapit ka sa sta. ana, dalahin mo sa station nila bos chieffy "ronald" .

hi happy_gilmore... (darn, i liked that movie so much!). kaya 1L palang nagagamit ko doon sa binili kong gallon is that minsan may pumapatak na oil from the car, pero sobrang konti... but still, nababawasan siya. sabi ng dad ko malamang hindi nasarhang mabuti yung oil drain nung pina change oil niya. i usually put in 1L like around 1.5 months.

pag dinala ko sa gasoline station di kaya sayang yung nabili kong Castrol GTX w/ synth guard? papayag ba sila na lagyan ng ibang oil yung car kahit oil na di kanila?

yung kay bos chieffy talagang plano ko pumunta doon for underwash and undercoat. kung pwede, damay ko na din yung change oil.

ako once a year lang ako nagpapa-change oil, in a year naman kasi around 7000kms or less lang naman natatakbo ko.

when i tried Havoline Fully Synthetic API-SJ 5W-40 (Php 2100 per gallon), 7500km pa lang nagpalit na ako...ramdam ko kasi na pangit na yung takbo ng kotse, panay hataw ba naman eh kapag maluwag lalo na sa C5...

nung lumabas yung Havoline Energy Synthetic API-SL, balik ulit ako dito (Php 1200 per gallon), i plan to change my oil after 10,000 km pero papakiramdaman ko rin...medyo binawasan ko na yung mga hataw ko he he...i'll change the oem oil filter(sa carpower ako bumibili para mura) sa 5,000 km.
