I would suggest doing it after the 5,000 km oilchange para regular na siya. And also if you're dealer offers a synthetic oil then stick to the brand to maintain your warranty. Some dealers will void your car warranty if you'll use an oil not recommended by the manufacturer and this includes synthetics. Goodluck.

yawk,
nung nabili ko ang strada ko 2nd hand, kilometer reading niya is 31T, nung ika 35T pinalitan ko ng fully synthetic DELVAC 1, parang pusang na naging leon ang comparison.

imho mas ok nga kung simula pa lang synthetic na gamit mo.

yAwK,

It is unfortunate that in our country, while a vehicle is still under warranty, we have no choice of engine oils, except those that are promoted by the dealers, else you will get into trouble in cases of warranty claims.

So to be in the safe side, IMO, you should move up to synthetic oils only after the warranty expires.

Some synth oil users have mentioned to break-in the engine completely before switching to synthetic, ie, after 5k miles or about 8k km. This will give the pistons time to properly "seat" before you introduce a low friction oil.

Some german cars use synth as their first-fill but it's usually a thinner oil to help in the break-in process.

Ako I switched from mineral to synthetic sa 5T kms. kaso ung casa recommended din na oil. Gusto ko nga mag mineral ulit, pwede ba yun????

wombat,
No problem using mineral again. What's your ride?
Why do you want to switch back to mineral?

is it true that every 10K ang change oil if your using synthetic oil unlike mineral oil every 5K lang is it true that every 10K ang change oil if your using synthetic oil unlike mineral oil every 5K lang is it true that every 10K ang change oil if your using synthetic oil unlike mineral oil every 5K lang

it's true duon sa 2002 Field Master ko. after break-in, 1K, synthetic oil na ginamit ng casa tapos after 10k na ang balik for change oil. so bali 2 change oil, sa miniral, ang katumbas nung 1 chnage oil sa synthetic.
