Shocking truth about Oils!

[Jan2X]

I've downloaded the oil test and i'm shocked that it involved only 1 type of test . You don't recommend an engine oil with just one test. What is more disturbing is that the Falex Lubricity Tester/Timken OK Load Rating Test is more suitable for grease testing not engine oil. The editors at Street Commodores made a big blunder on this one.

If you really want hardcore info about engine oil then visit http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ and the forum is awesome. FYI royal purple has a very bad reputation here at least on this site.

Just when I'm almost convinced to try RP for my next oil change, comes this new development. Any rebuttal from those who have tried, tested and proven RP to be good as advertised, so to speak? (sorry for the "rebuttal" term, i'm not in favor of debates, just friendly and helpful discussions po.)


Btw, Castrol din gamit ko sa previous oil change ko, my ride is a '96 Corolla GLi A/T. Gusto ko sana nga i-try tong RP, esp. now na may promo ang speedyfix (fully synthetic oil for the price slightly higher than mineral oil change, tempting di ba!) kahit na tga-batangas ako, dadayuhin ko mandaluyong. heh-heh.

i agree with your opinion on the test actually. it shouldn't be circulated and it should be blamed on the Street Comodores mag that this test is being spread around so much.

re: bitog, it is an excellent forum for oil. there are lots of pros and cons for all of the different oil manufacturers. amsoil,mobil1 and castrol all have their own following of haters on the board too. for RP it's mostly the UOA on oil that has been used over 10k miles. we really don't recommend that type of usage lalo na in manila since the pollution and wear is much different to that in other countries. most of the UOA's comming out now show marked improvement over the ones in the past 2-3 years.

if you actually go through the site, most complaints are about the price. but in the philippines, RP is priced very competetively if not lower than the competition like mobil, valvoline, castrol, etc for their full syn line. most RP products are 2/3rds of the price lang plus offer a complete lineup of viscosities.

you also have good feedback like

anyway, it really is up to the end user to find what is best for him and his engine. we've been using the oil extensively over the past year and have had positive results in all of the people that have tried it.

goodluck deciding!

Can't open it. I wish I could see the result. It seems that the page was blocked or something....

nyagi, the complete lineup of the RP oils can be found in HRC banawe, speedyfix and ERL. not sure about the other shops kasi di pa sila complete sa lineup

Mukhang daming satisfied sa RP oil. Kailangan ko pa maghintay ng 10mos para matapos warranty ng kotse ko sa honda, para masubukan yan

in some cases you can bring your own oil to casa and retain the warranty. it depends though on the casa. better ask them to be sure.

Walang RP na oil filter sir. Pwede ka nila kuhanan ng OEM or Vic.

[speedyfix]

rp has oil filters but we don't carry them locally.

Good evening po. We mistakenly put 15w-40 mineral oil into our 2.0 Subaru (2007 model). Plan to change this asap. Any recommendation on a good replacement oil? I usually change oil every 4 months or so, kahit low mileage lang ang nabyahe. TIA.
