Again, I don't think they will risk ruining their reputation for a small profit on oil changes.

hehehe that's another topic for debate. Our instructor in MFI mentioned before that the heat dissipating capacity of FS oils are less than mineral oils though he never mentioned any basis/facts to back it up.

to those in doubt:
Motor Oil 101 - Bob is the Oil Guy - Bob is the Oil Guy

some excerpt:
One thing that is no longer important is the ambient temperature. Older automotive owner manuals often recommended one oil for the summer and another for the winter. This is still necessary for air cooled engines but is no longer a consideration in pressurized water cooled engines. These engine blocks are kept at around 212°F all year round. The oil is around the same temperature as well. This allows for a single grade oil all year round. Again, this is not the same as on the track where the coolant temperature is slightly higher and the oil temperature is much higher.

If my car was already out of warranty I would use a lower viscosity like 0w20. Still debating to myself if i should go do it.

Ayan pwede guinea pig yung kotse mo. Mga 10 years straight na 0w20 oil change every 10,000kms.

Sa honda kahit nakawarranty inooffer nila yung 0w20. Willing ba

Zic A sa cordillera street near banawe ako bumili. 730pesos lang benta. Napakaunderrated ng engine oil na yan. Kung ginawang 2thou pesos baka sumikat yung oil. Pero dahil mura kaya dinedeadma. 3,000 kms na ang linis pa din ng oil.

Ito yung contact details binilhan ko http://members.*******/HondaFDs

Maganda yung Zic na engine oil.
Yung Zic UP 10w30 Fully synthetic. Nasa 2016 ilang 8 litres

May zic up ba na 10w30? Yung nabili for montero zic up 10w40 (760 pesos = 4 liters na.)

Mas makakatipid kapag three na four liters. Kasi six liters engine oil kailanga sa montero so bumili ako 12 liters (3x4L) = 2,280.
