Shocking truth about Oils!

A compression test tells you whether your cylinders are fit... in other words, if the pressure in each cylinder as they move through their power strokes is similar or the same, the engine is healthy. If one cylinder has low pressure, it's probably leaking air, either through the piston rings or through the valves.

In such a case, a leakdown test will tell you which way the air is going.

1. They use a compression tester.
2. Ok lang castrol mineral oil. Just stick with the known brands and you should be ok.
3. Sales talk lang ng casa yan.

Thanks.....Sir yung mga shell, petron lang ba complete ang mineral oil in any viscocity? Kasi Castrol ang offer 20w50 lang...

Shell may 15w40 red bottle and 20w50 yellow bottle. Caltex 20w50 only. Castrol, parang may nakita akong ibang viscosity sa True value. Imported parang 5w30 yata. Di ko kabisado ang sa Petron. Try mo website nila.

petron race synthetic oil 5w-40
petron rallye, touring,extra ay mineral oil

Kaya ba puro 20w50 available sa pinas eh dahil yun ang bagay sa climate dito?

Kasi sa manual information ng Civic eh iba ang recommended na viscocity....5w30 ata....Pero sa synthetic lang usually available....eh ok na ako sa mineral......

So pwede na yung 20w50 or kailangan ba talaga sundin ang manual? or depends sa climate ng bansa?

Tapos nagpareserve na kami 2007 crv.....nabasa ko sa forum sa ibang bansa ang recommend daw eh 5w20.....grabe nipis naman nun....pwede ba yun sa pinas? eh wala pa mineral oil na ganun...

edtf, what do you mean a diesel test?

SIr, I meant wala bang test for oils used for diesel engines? OR puwede rin ba gamitin those oils for diesel engines? Thanks

suv, the thickest you should go is a 40 viscosity for a stock engine. it's probably sales talk that maselan yung vvti ng toyota kaya kelangan synthetic. the way they should sell it is telling you more of the benefits of better quality oil rather than telling lies about the engines in their own cars. don't use a 50 viscosity if that is not recommended.

edtf, well in royal purples case the 15w40 oil is specifically formulated for diesel engines. it also has the API diesel certification. not sure what other test you need.
