Motor Oil Matters?

[ae_101]

good day trd mates! tanong ko lang ano gamit nyo na motor oil sa toyota corolla? may nkapag sabi kc sakin na mas maganda daw pag fully synthetic so i then tried inquire sa gas stations/car shops to find out ang mahal ng full synthetic car oils. im currently using mobil1. need your suggestions guys.. thanks!

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'm driving an Altis. Been using their casa 5W40 from the dealership with OEM oil filter then sa sulit. Switched to Royal Purple just recently with Purolator naman.

Been using 20w/50 castrol on my Corolla.

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.

exactly what i have mentioned. if the owner's manual says to use multigrade, use multigrade. the winter grade can be 0, 5, 10, 15 or 25 as long as you meet the summer grade requirements. it is not common for motor oil to be single grade as per SAE viscosity criteria. in the owner's manual it shows what viscosity index is recommended for a particular ambient temperature.

[atog]

[vinj]

mga sir anu po ba viscosity ng toyota mineral oil na nilalagay sa casa?

Mineral (gas) - 20W50
Mineral (diesel) - 15W40
Semisynth - 10W40
Synth - 5W40

Toyota uses repackaged Caltex oils AFAIK.

To be safe just use the motor oil brand of gour car. i think Toyota has its own brand of oils, ganyan na kse ako ngsun, i use idemitsu synthetic for my Honda, motorcraft synthetic for my Ford, and a Made in Korea synhetic diesel oil for my hyundai. Eh since hyundai and kia lang nman car products ng korea, so i assume most of their oils there para sa hyundai kia. My T86 is not yet due for PMS, but i'll buy the the toyota brand motor oil.

Wag kayo masyado paniwala dito kesyo use castrol, delo, motul etc etc. yeah, those things might give the extra performance but tingen ko it will shorten the life of your engine. Parang naka-drugs, ok ngaun galing ka perform well kahit 3 araw walang tulugan, pero later in life dami mo sakit.

That's the nature of things. Im sure those toyota engineers tested your car using genuine toyota motor oil. So dun lang ang data nila for optimum performance :D

As for those Toyota "brand" oil, those are actually repackaged Caltex oil. Using Caltex packaged oil instead makes no difference.

Just a note. Dealers, casas, or even auto companies recommend, specify or use a certain of oil brand do so because in most cases, these entities have a commercial tie-up with the oil brands. And to be honest, these entities will cease to exists if your vehicle never breaks down or never need a replacement. So its not surprising that HARI insists on using their HGMO with the threat of warranty voiding. Based on posts in the other thread, HGMO is clearly substandard compared to other oils available to consumers in the market. Also how come Toyota dealers can only offer 20W-50 if you choose mineral oil? Its bec. thats the only viscosity available from Caltex Havoline. Better viscosity means you will be forced to upgrade to semi-syn or fully-syn.

In the end, it is better for one to do a research on which oil brand, viscosity, etc. best suits their vehicle. Judge everything you read with a grain of salt (even these forums).

Aside from oil, you also need to consider better (filtration) or even bigger sized oil filters.

Motor oils don't work that way. Hindi sha "drugs" para sa engine. Using castrol, delo, motul will not "shorten" the life on an engine.
