10w30 or 10w40 ??? Mineral or Synthetic ....

[Dezaremos]

Ang rated na engine oil for my Corolla GLi 1.6 4afe according sa internet search ay 10w30 .. Akala ko sa america or cold countries lng pwede ang xw30 kasi mostly forums na seach ko ay US at canada, pero may na basa din ako isang forum sa pakistan na 10w30 rin ang rated oil sa 4afe engine nya ..

Considering na mainit dito sa pinas lalo na pag summer, ok ba gamitin ang 10w30 na mineral oil ?? Walang problema sa 10w30 na fully synthetic kasi synthetics are made to sustain excessive engine heat ...

Currently using Mobil 15w40 mineral oil, plano ko try ang 10w30 either mineral or synthetic sa susunod na PMS ... Marami din akong nabasa na hindi na bagay ang synthetic sa old engine kasi baka mag leak .. Pero kahit 20yrs old na yung Corolla ko, 87k plus kilometres lng natakbo kasi yung dating may-ari ay chinese business man na mahilig sa kotse, pero di nya gaanong ginagamit kasi marami syang sasakyan .. sa city driving minsan ginagamit nya pero kung out of town yung pick up or SUV nya ginagamit nya ...

ano sa tingin nyo ?? Pwede ko bang ity ang 10w30 synthetic ?? kung 10w30 mineral naman, kaya ba nang manipis na mineral oil ang init ng makina at init ng panahon dito sa pinas considering na mas mainit sa pakistan kasya pinas at 10w30 rin ang rating ng 4afe engine sa pakistan ???

i would use the oil recommended by toyota for its car. give the casa a call if you do not know. why guess, when the answer is just a call away?

Another thread? Heheheh

If you are previously using 10w40 or 15w40, stick with that.

Mineral or synthetic depends on your filter...

most oem filters for the old engines were only good for 5000km hence stick with mineral oil.

Honda uses 10W-30 mineral oil. There's new study recommending 10W-30 motor oil over 15W-40.

so you're saying I should only use 10w30 mineral instead of 10w30 synthetic due to my old engine ???

Can you post a link on that new study you're referring that 10w30 is recommended than 15w40 ...

Its for newer engines... the study was conducted on diesel engines.

For newer petrol engines theyre studying 0w16 and 0w8 viscosities. Some cars are already using 0w16 in japan.

Honda has long been using their 0w20 VTEC green synthetic oil for their newer cars. It offers better fuel efficiency compared to the older 5w40 VTEC LEV synthetic oil.

Theyve been using that for almost a decade in the USA because of CAFE standards.

10W30 are mostly mineral oil, 5W30 or 0W30 would be synthetic.

Madami din 10w30 na synthetic. Usually basta 10w30 synthetic na. Iba yung fully synthetic ha. Baka yun sinasabi mo.
