    I use caltex delo/gold multigrade on my ae111. Its sgi lpg fed, ordinary oil does not darken even after 5000km. With delo gold, the engine gets cleaned and the delo oil darkens proving the cleaning ingedients included with diesel engine oils.

    I've used Royal Purple syn, then started with Mobile 1 syn last year and always pared with OEM filter. The change in oil brand is due to availability in 5qt containers. I use OEM Toyota filters because my 2zz-ge uses a larger filter than 1zz-fe, which is a common filter carried by oil shops and part stores.

    I just use 15W40 or 20W40 regular oil on my Corolla Altis and change it every 5,000kms. 80,000kms hence and no signs of sludging and a recent compression test showed good, even results along all four cylinders.

    I used either Petron Ultron Touring or Mobil 1000.

    you can disregard the winter grade of the oil. the philippines has no winter. follow the owner's manual specifications. the current API classification is SN which supercedes all S series engine oils. don't run your engine too cold and don't prolong the oil change interval. it really is not specified in the toyota owner's manual that you have to use synthetic or synthetic blend of oil. it is a matter of personal preference as long as you meet the [I]minimum[I]requirements

    Pero may winter grade sa manual. If you disregard the winter grade magiging single grade na lang na SAE 30 or 40 for both starting the engine cold and operating temperature.

    An inquiry on motor engine oil, is it possible by just visual inspection through the dipstick that it is now time to change the engine oil? I remember a mechanic used to tell me before that if the color of the oil is black but medyo reddish ito ay okay pa. Thanks.
