Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?

[max 122]

hi. ok lang ba mineral oil sa turbocharged engine? i use the car very often (more or less 100kms a month). im currently using shell helix ultra fully synthetic. and i find it very expensive. btw car is a nissan skyline.

Ok lang po yun but check api or acea rating to meet you car specification always.

Bakit sobrang mura ng zic engine oils?
Yun FS oils nila, halos ka-presyo lang ng mineral oils ng iba.
CI-4 rated naman.
Fake? Low Quality?
Sana naman hindi. Ito ang balak ko gamitin sa next PMS ko.

Hindi pa ako nakakakita ng actual na product.

Yung Zic x7 yung balak ko gamitin. Nasa page28 nung document.

i am using semi synthetic, then replace every 5,000 km.

I think na max ang every 5000 km chankge oil pag mineral, i think better kung mga 4,500km or less ay palit na.

I agree with you Meledson.
I change mine every 5k regardless of vehicle new or old. It's all about removing the dirt not how long you can keep it in the engine for.
The big push for longer interval oil changes were not from the car manufacturer's but from the so called green earth environmental people.
If they want to be green focus on recycling and trucks, buses and jeeps spewing out thick black smoke not the common motorist.

I'm from Australia and now reside in the Philippines and since I had my first car until my latest 2016 my target is always 5k more or less for oil changes you can't go wrong. I never used a catch can or blocked egr and never had any bad carbon build up either or turbo issues. NEVER had any sludge as well.
I use a semi synthetic oil any good proven brand but If a mineral oil only I use mobile Delvac due to its additives.

Others will debate that 7k-10-20k oil change is ok but with me the more regular you change the oil the more healthier your engine will be in the long run for your turbo, egr and piston ring wear.
If it's a truck well that's a different story and topic as most run fully synthetic and can do 10k in a week of continuous running.
In tI'm end it's not what oil you use but how often you change it.

ganun ba sir? sabi kasi nung kausap ko FS daw yung kanila..i was about to recommend it to a friend who's warranty just lapsed few days ago..due na sya this month and sabi ko nga medyo mura yung ZIC, then FS na..i double check ko nga yung picture na sinend nung seller sa akin...baka regular oil lang yun ah...

Curious lang: If the oil darkens or gets black after few months use, does it mean the engine is dirty? or the oil is of poor grade. I tried using synthetic oil 5-10W and got better result. My sparkplugs burns ideally as evidenced by the color of the plugs which is rusty red shade. and even on cold mornings i dont experience cold starting. thanks in advance

for diesel engines, the soot&acid does darken the color much faster

for petrols it does darken but at a later date.. ss oil and fs oil so far darkens around 3000km or 75hrs(engine running timee) for my vehicle.

its normal..
