it's just a bit suspicious to me that some of the lower-grade stuff from xteer and maybe zic don't have official API certification. maybe they just don't wanna pay for the expensive certification

Zic motor oils are API certified, while their motorcycle oils are JASO certified.

That's the first thing I looked up about Zic before using it.

Do you know who's still not in the API list but continue to use the API Service Designations? Pertua.

pertua is literally snake oil

check this out the SN version isn't on API's list but it says on the label "meets of requirements of API SN". deceptive word play

technically doesn't claim to be api certified, it just meets the requirements, whatever that means

Two of my owner's manuals indicate 0W-20 as the preferred lubricant for each vehicle, but never ko ito sinunod. I also feel that its "too thin" to use dito sa klima ng `Pinas.

Its not that I know better than the engineers who built them, but I'm inclined to give more priority to engine protection over the extra fuel efficiency with such light oils.

Oil change is actually more fuel efficient New vs Old sabi nitong video from korea (use subtitle and translation)
