Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

Ako gamit ko delo 400, pero kahit lagpas 6 mos ok pa yan, di na tulad dati mga dino oil, sa bitog forum nga dino oil + dual bypass filter kaytagal nila gamitin

walang problema, delo 400 may moly content na maganda naman both protection ang lubrication yung delo gold wala.

For gasoline engine or the turbo diesel version?

Na test ko na yung Motul TRD 5W40 na pang diesel sa Santa Fe and Montero for 10k OCI. Wala naman difference ako napansin vs sa Specific CRDI at sa Kixx Turbo RV. AFAIK mas mataas TBN ng Specific CRDI vs TRD. Na curious lang ako kaya na try ko kung may difference ba sa mas murana Kixx. Sa next oil change ko back to Kixx ako.

I think the 1.2 TBN difference dow not make any difference and the added value is negligible because our diesel sulfur limit is now low. BTQ, Sulfur turns to SO2 inside the ICE, which turns to sulfuric acid because of the combustion water byproduct.

If you have the vehicle owner's manual, just follow the factory recommended oil change and filter change intervals. Be sure to use the correct oil grade for your engine.

If you don't have the vehicle owner's manual, here is a general recommendation:

Salamat sa mga replies bro. Nakita ko sa net yung Shell Rimula R4 pala eh API CJ-4 na. Php 200+ lang tanong ko sa gas station per liter. May nakasubok na ba nito? Mineral lang ba to o semi-syn na?

Good luck makakita ka Rimula R4 L. Afaik Shell Rimula R4 lang meron sa mga Shell stations. CI-4 yun.

And to answer your second question, much better yung Delo 400.
