Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[crazy_boy]

Ako I'm not sold on semi synt, either mag mineral ka or fully synth...

it will really depend on the price na for me. may ibang semi-syn kasi na hindi malayo price sa mineral oil. a good example is Zic brand. pero pag nasa 300 peso range na semi-syn, id rather buy mineral oil nalang.

Well if short on budget then put mineral oil if meron extra then go for full synt, parang nakakaloko yun semi synth eh.. It's doesn't give protection as much as synth anyways so why pay extra if you can get away with mineral

Sir ZIC kala q fully synthetic po ito?

[miko101130]

pag mineral ang importante eh yung base oil... dapat maganda ang base oil na ginamit nang brand na bibilin mo...
madame din naman magandang minerals out there... if 40 to 50 pesos lang difference per liter, its better to buy a good oil...

i once saw a suzuki multi cab on catltex near us, it was having its change oil before i arrived...
i saw that the driver poured in mobil 1 0w-40... the most expensive line from mobil...
from what i saw the multicab is being used as a delivery...
the owner must have known something out oil... cause he used mobil 1...
he knows the benefits of using a good oil and therefore preventing downtime on his delivery vehicle... which is essential to his business... i just smiled...

ZIC oil price estimates dito sa probinsya:

ZIC SD5000 15w-40 multi-grade Php 175/liter
ZIC UP 10w-40 semi-synthetic Php 210/liter
ZIC XQ 5w-40 fully synthetic Php 550/liter

Konti lang ang price difference ng multi-grade at semi-synthetic nila kaya ok lang mag-semi-synthetic. Pero sa performance ang layo. Sa multi-grade medyo rough na ang engine response at around 4,000kms pero sa semi-synthetic smooth pa rin sa 4,500kms. Observed this on my 2010 strada 4x2 with OEM oil filer and OEM air filter.

Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w-40 is cheaper at 450 / liter but in Manila. Shipping surely won't cost 100 / liter.

Sir, pwede paki indicate na rin ung API rating ng ZIC oil above para malaman kung pwede sa gasoline/diesel or pang diesel lang ba ito. Thanks po.

The Castrol Magnatec (semi-synthetic) is price at roughly Php310/Li. Anyong using this type of oil? okay ba ito?

Kaya semi-synthetic ng ZIC lang ako para change oil every 5,000kms even with Fleetguard oil filter. Around Php 185/liter nalang ang ZIC UP kung by gallon.
