    Default What engine oil brand/specs you're using and for what car/mc?


    Hi Brads!

    Just want to share lang this info in case wala pa ni na discuss before, it's nice to talk about engine oil since this is one of the most vital factor in your car having a good or best lubrication on the engine means better fuel economy, best engine performance and longer lasting and extended drain interval.

    So post this info and specs if ok lang ninyo. I will start mine first.


    Engine Oil: Total Quartz 9200 fully synthetic
    SAE: 5w30
    Standard rating: API CI-4, ACEA A5/B5, ACEA A4/B4
    Car: kia sportage 2009 crdi
    volume: 6L
    Price: 620/L
    Note:
    Mahalan na kau ko sa casa na fully synthetic oil, it's 4,500 and for the past 2yrs mao na ako gi pa butang. so I decided to buy from external shops and finally decided total.

    Engine Oil: Shell Advance Ultra fully synthetic
    SAE: 10w40
    Standard rating: API SM, JASO MA2
    Car: honda xrm 125 DS
    volume: 1L
    Price: 720/L (forgot the exact price)

    there is no need to use synthetic or expensive oil! just change your oil regularly- not more than 5,000 kilometers or much better, every 3000KM.

    mineral oil 20W-50, tag P 1,300 ra plus filters, ang imo change oil cost is mga P 1700 per 5000KM. ang synthetic, bisan unsa ka maayong klase dili gyod na kaabot ug 10,000 KM!

    and we are in the Philippines mga bro- 5W-30 is very light oil. delikado imo makina. 5W pang winter na nga viscosity, wala man tay winter diri, init kaayo sa pilipinas, so needed minimum SAE 30 gyod for new engines, 40 or 50 sa older engines.

    try it, hilom gihapon imo engine bisan init na kaayo ang makina

    basic oil requirement for a car is listed in its owner's manual...and they don't specify fully synthetic oil... as long as it is deligently followed there will be no problem with your car... but there maybe advantage using fully synthetic oil... costwise; less trip to change oil shop means less expenses to pay for the filter and service charge, timewise; less time spent for the change oil service... but pls. don't forget to check air filter regularly though
