Motor Oil Matters?

**Mask Rider Blac** · July 17th, 2015 01:53 AM

I have been using the Mag1 5W-30 FS for two changes already, 15K and 25K. I have not encountered any problem with the oil. When I changed, I put a sample in a clear container and marked it. The oil still seems to move freely inside the container. Though an oil analysis test would tell us the condition of the oil, it is not my priority as of the moment. A gallon costs P1,505.00

Its all good. We try to observe used oil.

More important though is opening that oil filter especially going 10k intervals. Is it an oem filter? Baldwin?

Ok na ok na ata yan. 100 pero liter lang. I use zic 5000power na semi synthetic tapos 1 year change oil. By pail na 20 liters bili ko pumapatak 177php per liter

Yes i maters. sadly yung ibang walang alam sa oil basta mineral synthethic yan lang alam nila. Neglecting the API rating ng engine nila

We use caltex, Petron or cat oils.. 15w40 CI4.. 24,500 per drum... Gamit namin sa mgA large engines...

IMO, Kahit mineral oil Lang gamit Tatagal ang engine, provided regular PMS is implemented... We have gensets that's 70's pa.. Pero Hangang ngayon maayos na maayos pa din.. Tapos once a year Lang ang change oil.. Standby duty nga Lang...

Just to share..
I have read that visual inspection through the dipstick is one way of determining if engine oil is still okay. It is likely so after you pull out the dipstick, and can still see its tip by looking through the oil.
