Most oils are good. Depende sa maintenance ng owner. oil change interval and age ng engine, coolant maintenance etc.

i'm an average joe driver.
i use mineral oil.
i take my time to reach 5K, then i change oil.
... been doing it for decades.. wala naman problema.

We went to La union this weekend, few days before that i changed my oil to motul and tried a different vicosity, thicker than the recomended 5w30, just a precaution, i know i was driving in the 3k-6k rpm most of the time....oil temp never went up above 103 C, added a can of ceratec...just to be on the safe side

Be sure to get the Gold/Platinum variant, PAO based sya at SN rated pa. Sure na okay yan bro. I heard 2,600 daw ang 5w-40 na platinum. Price is not bad considering the oil's specs.

I'm assuming most of your trips are very short. You can stick with mineral oil but I advise you change it every 6 months, mas prone kasi sa sludge at carbon buildup ang mga sasakyan na puro short trips.

Grp3 or grp4 base oils dont matter much nowadays. These discussions died years ago in bobistheoilguyforums. Most oils have good additive packages that meet most manufacturer requirements. Simply following recommended oil changes and engine requirements are the common discussion now. New topics now are direct injection engines and fuel dillution and ecoboost stuff.

Mga around 25km per day. Alright. Thanks!

So hard to backread, I'll just ask tsikot gurus directly. If a vehicle uses synthetic oil, then it should be synthetic all the way? I cannot go back to mineral oil? if the answer is a big NO then i'm good. If I can go back then my next question would be is there a detrimental effect when I switch back to mineral. thanks!,
