Mas okay ba kung fully synthetic pa din gamitin ko or semi synthetic given my car's condition? Medyo mahal din po kasi yun fully synthetic. Or pwede nang ordinary oil basta change oil ako every 4km. Thanks sa lahat ng mga nagbigay ng opinion at suggestions.

If all models of Altis develops an oil sludge like you were saying. The design in its oil distribution and recirculation inside the engine might be poor or not properly designed.

An ordinary/special mineral engine oil, 10w-40, always works best to all types of passenger cars/vehicles. Definitely with following the regular interval of changing engine oil.

And synthetic engine oils is only used and designed to work for high speed turbine engine, which have extreme heat during operations that no ordinary/special engine oil can dissipate it.

medyo madugo ang nagastos ko sir, pero ayos magtrabaho yun shop na napuntahan ko. And half day lang natapos nila. 4 mechanics nagtulong tulong sabi kasi nila kung walang tama sa loob ng engine cleaning nila at palitan ibang parts kaya matapos ng half day.

Labor = 18,000 (medyo mahal ito tingin ko, unang una 20k dapat, tinawaran ko kasi sabi ko half day lang naman and walang tama yun makina)
valve cover surplus = 2000 (wala daw mabiling original or new replacement nito kaya surplus ang kinuha ko)
4 listers of flushing oil = 500
4 bottles of motor oil ordinary = 800 (for change oil)
1 oil filter = 180
10 cleaner (200 each bottle) = 2000 (ito yun ginamit na panglinis sa loob ng makina, parang spray sya)
valve gasket rubber (yun rubber na black dunno if tama yun name) replacement = 650 (malutong na daw kasi kaya nagleleak yun oil dati)
kerosene = 200 (pang linis ng makina)

Inabot ako kulang kulang na 25000, medyo mahal sya pero maayos at mabilis yun trabaho and surplus shop din kasi sya kaya kung may mga parts na walang mabili, sa surplus na kumukuha.

Right now, mas maganda na yun tunog ng makina.

How many months before you hit 4000km?

**sirkosero** · September 24th, 2015 03:23 AM

masyado pala mahal inabot mo. harang ang labo.mas mahal pa than having a decent overhaul.

valve cover? yung buong valve cover pinalitan or gasket lang? kung gasket lang, loko nga yung shop. dami VC gaskets sa banawe. less than 500 lang replacements and gaskets should never be surplus.

imo mahal ang labor na 18k sir...parang taga sa presyo yan. Nagpa TOH ako dati and if I remember it right wala pa sa 6k labor na binayaran ko. Yung friend ko na naputulan ng timing belt, 15k lang nagastos nya all in...palit valve pa yun.
With regards sa valve cover, yung buong cover pinalitan? if gasket lang kase like sir sirkosero said...impossible walang oem or replacement nyan...and dapat bnew gamitin kung papalitan.

Mga 600 km lang ako per month. So 6-7 months bago ako mag 4000 km. So more or less half year change oil isang beses. Gagamitin ko na lang yun ordinary oil kung ganon kadalas magchange oil kasi sayang lang kung synthetic gamitin ko.

Medyo mahal nga po eh. Buong valve cover po yata kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Gasket is yun takip lang po tama po ba? Pasensya na hindi kasi ako sobrang marunong sa mga parts at mga tawag.
