[maedz]

magandang gabisa inyo mga bro, patulong naman pls. i have this ranger trekker 2002 and i just had it undergo a compression test due to power loss and lil smoke.. it came out that i it have little amount of "loose compression".. the mechanic suggested that i must use a heavier weight oils such as 20w40 wherein the suggested viscosity in my manual is 10w30... is it safe for the engine if i'll be using a heavier viscosity?

pls. help. TIA

well you can use heavier weight oil.. specially if you already have some considerable amount of miles in the engine, so 20W40 should be ok.

but I must ask how low is the compression?? kasi pag masyado ng mababa ang compression (below 110-90 psi) you might wanna have your engine checked for a bad Piston ring.. or a Valve stem seal. also, how often does it smoke??


aite, peace.

tnx for the response. my odo shows that it has reached 158t plus. every cylinder has different rating, ranges from 140 plus yata.

migs, thanks for the RP giveaways....:showoff:

pa change oil na kayo ng RP nakita ko yesterday maraming bagong stocks dumating...fresh from the oven so to speak...hehehe

ano yun mga giveaways? pachange oil na ako kahit 2,000 kms kailangan ko bago next change oil.

[Ventoy]

Had anyone use FUCHS oil brands since I'll be soon use the Titan Supersyn SL 5W-50W from Fuchs of Germany

[speedyfix]

benyaki, di pa kumpleto dealers namin in the south. you can go to autoteknika in the fort or orange performance in pasong tamo ext

Zeus, check your manual. either the 10w30 or 10w40 weight should be sufficient. what mobil 1 did you use before? the 50 weight?

shadow, no problem bro! salamat din for the referral

benyaki, at that km mark and for a toyota... either the 10w40 or maybe better yet the 20w50.

maedz, even a 15w40 might help... pero it is a patch solution lang and not one that will fix the problem.

wool, depends what is purchased. pens for regular oil changes, the mugs for oil and tranny oil changes and umbrellas if you get oil from the XPR lineup.

Ventoy, used that before... i liked mobil better pero now mobil has a kinda bad rep na for it's full syn oils kaya we only carry the mineral oils. depending also on the car, the 50 weight might be too heavy for the engine.

[likot]

Sir magkano aabutin ng pa change sa inyo, adventure gls sport diesel ang ride ko. paki post naman quotation mo using 10w-40 or 15w-40. ano ba mas maganda sa diesel engine. gusto ko ng ma try yung RP nyo. im using castrol gtx right now. 6 liters of oil ang kailang ko. 5.5 liters kasi nilalagay ko.

[speedyfix]

the all of the synthetic oil (except the 5w40) are priced at 440/liter. then the rest depends if you will be getting the oil filter from us and have us do the work

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.

[raine]

anyone tried Liqui Moly Oil

[speedyfix]

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
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums...119549&fpart=1

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....

[kkreuk18]

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

[speedyfix]

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.

sir un royal purple oil filter e available din sa inyo?

[Battlestar]

sir un royal purple oil filter e available din sa inyo?

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.
