on my case, going 30k kms na ako.. all those PMS e puro mineral oil lang.. wala kasi budget sa fully synthetic oil, hehe! (pambili pa yun ng accessories, hehehe).. e okay naman, wala naman ako naging problema sa mineral oil..

may nag-advise din before na to go FS, sabi nila (di ko kasi naconfirm at di pako nakasubok) mas swabe daw ang takbo... kaya in the end, its your choice pa din...mahal nga lang yung FS..

word of advise though, yung avanza natin needs only 3 liters of oil.. you may check the manual on this.. may mga case kasi na may nanggugulang sa casa of course, they will try to sell you another bottle/liter of oil... it took me several PMS, before ko nakita dito sa threads na 3 liters lang.. (worse pa e di binabalik yung sobrang oil, tsk tsk) teka nga pala, sa casa mo parin ba ito ipapagawa?

sabi sa akin medyo mahal daw sa casa eh..gawin ko daw, bili ng mga gamit sa labas (oil, spark plugs-iridium, etc) tapos ipagawa ko sa mga gas service station...same din daw service...sa casa tatgain ka daw

Try google about FS, may advantage at disadvantage...doon nalang ako sa advantage lang.

hi sir jojo a.k.a. "the Guru"....
1) may recommended kayo na mineral oil na brand?
2) sabi kapag MO, every 5K km change...kapag FS, every 10K km change..tama ba?
3) kapag di umabot sa 5K or 10K km mileage, kailangan parin palitan every year...tama ba?

Sir jojo tanong ko lang po kung kailangan ba yung undercoat para maiwasan yung kalawang ng ilalim? Si Vanzie ko kasi mag two years na sa June hindi ko pa na pa-undercoat iyun. Ano bang magandang pang undercoat? Kaso ngayon medyo gipit at merong ibang project na pinagtutuunan.
Thanks!

Try ask sa mga gas station sir,
Sa akin kasi sa casa ko na pina undercoat before ko na takeout eto,
Sa ngayon, may konting 3M spray undercoat pa ako,
'yon lang gamit ko especially sa bandang fender,
Kung maubos na eto papa-undercoat ko na uli sa gas station...
Ask for 3m or triton rubberized,

[edit]
Eto may nakita akong pics, pero luma na eto.
Isang tsikoteer ang owner ng gas station, don't know kung active pa eto.

Had my 25K pms at Petron UN. Change oil lang and oil filter...cost me only 1,049!

May libre pa akong 1L of mineral oil kasi yung package 4L e. Dalawang change oil pa and labor na lang babayaran ko. hehehe

Had my 25k PMS at Petron UN using mineral oil and oil filter for only 1,049!

Since only 3 liters were consumed, I had a 1 liter free. 2 more change oil and I'll just pay for the labor. =)
