    Too thick for engine oil, but good for Manual Transmission.

    huh? i believe that 15w and 20w are regular thickness for engine oils, thinner oils are are used for increased performance.

    The max viscosity that you want to put in your engine is 30W. Most 4X4 tranny and differential oil uses 70 - 90W oil, and front wheel drive manual tranny uses 50 - 60W oil. The best multi grade that you can buy in the is 5 - 30W, and mobil 1 got one that you don't have to change oil up to 15,000 miles. But, that would be really gambling with a very expensive investment. I'm using Mobil 1, 5 - 30W, 7500 miles oil.

    15W-50 is well suited for your vehicle. I would also suggest considering Mobil 1 5W-50. Other than that check your car manual for the recommended oil. For my vehicle 20W-50 is the recommended viscosity, so thats what I used on my last oil change.

    I use Mobil 20w-50 engin oil, and have it changed every 5000kms. 20w-50 0r 15w-50 as indicated in the manual.

    The Mobil1 SuperSyn 15W-50 and/or Mobil 1 5W-50 that chis_d suggested, should work well with your car.

    Meron nagbebenta sa mga various forums ng Mobil1 Gold 0W-40, P1600 lang for 1-gallon, P400 per liter. Orig naman, manufactured in Singapore.

    But I get mine from Cash&Carry. Yung last na binili ko Mobil1 Supersyn 15W-50, meron Nascar logo, US-made. P410 per liter ang bili ko.

    I think 15W-50 is the perfect rating for Philippine driving conditions. Not too thin, and can withstand high temps. Yung mga 0W kasi is better suited for winter conditions, for cold starts. Pero dito 0W is too thin, and might leak sa older cars na di na masyadong maganda ang gaskets.

    additional info lang mga brod about viscocity:

    0W is for -30C degree
    5W = -25C
    10W = -20C
    15W = -15C
    20W = -10C
    25W = -5C

    0W is much too thin for old engines. 5W is about as low as you should go.

    My engine runs sluggish on 15W and above, but if 20W is recommended in your manual, you shouldn't go below 10 or 15.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Usual recommended grade for our weather is an oil that has the 40W grade (i.e. 15W-40, 20W-40, 5W-40 synth, etc.).
