magkano ba delo gold? pangit kasi ng mga caltex dito.

Less than P200 lang yan per liter. Delo Gold Ultra or the delo gold is enough for your ride.

again i doubt mobil 1 even if imported is ester. it's normally a group 3 composed of a mineral base stock with synthetic additives.

Found it. Auto-Rx (Philippines) | About Oil

Mobil 1 is synthetic. Group IV nga.

My concern with Petron products is that they don't publish the composition of their oil. Viscocity readings lang. Would you buy a product without knowing what's inside. Comparable naman yung price nang Shell Rimula R3 sa Trekker at since maganda yung rating at additives package niya, IMHO, you're better off with Shell Rimula R3, Zic Up 10w40 or Delo Gold Ultra.

Shell R3 is good enough for 5,000kms OCI, then swithced to Mobil Delvac MX because I can do 6,000kms on it and oil is still good vs Shell R3.
.

Our GS has only 15KKm on the odometer,- and so, I am still using Shell Rimula X R3.... I will be switching to the synthetic variant HX7 in the next couple of oil changes... Curiously, Rimula X R3 has more certifications than the other (synthetic) variants....

And others would say that the darker, the better, as the diesel engine oil should be able to float all of the dirt in the engine as part of its cleaning property....

I believe Shell Rimula R3 X is better than Helix Diesel HX7. If youe want a semi-synthetic that is comparable to the price of HX7 and also synthetic, Top 1 SDO is a better bet or even Delo Sports Semi-syn. Also Zix Up is semi-syn for just P200/liter from one of our tsikot member. Miko101130 sells them.

Bro, i would recommend that you use Delo gold if you want better protection.... mas mahal nga lang konti pero that translates into something tangible in terms of assurance and protection for your engine...

among the Big three oil companies here locally, caltex Delo gold is superior ( factually known)...
petron doesn't publish any data regarding their oils...

its like when you are buying in the groceries.. you read at the back whats the ingredients contained on the product you are buying..

mas sulit pala ang delo gold at Php200/Liter kumpara sa Rimula R3 na nasa Php260/Li.

Same price lang po yan halos if sa mga auto shop na malalaki kayo bibili. Delo Gold and R3 are both CH-4 rated, Delo Gold Ultra yung medyo nasa P190-220 ang CI-4 rated.
