drhappy: drhappy: From the picture you posted, it is primary to use oil that is designed for gasoline engines, minimum API rating of SJ, SAE 5w30 and energy conserving. Using synthetic, synthetic blend or dyno oil is secondary and a user choice. However, your choice of oil will change your recommended service interval, thats all. Please Note that the latest API Rate is SN (2011) which which is well above the older SM (2004), SL (2001) and SJ (1997). These ratings are backwards compatible but with exceptions. So, it means you can use SN, SM, SL, SJ but not SH, SG, SF etc |

if i buy 5w-30 Synthetic for honda accord 2000 or toyota corolla 2003 and i drive 100km per day for 5days. My question is how many Km covers is the best to change oil?with good oil filter? Thank you in advance |

Seun: What i was refering to was the price difference. 10k synthetic vs 6k semi synthetic Synthetic 10kmiles vs semi synthetic 7.5kmiles It is economically convenient for me to service my car twice at 6kmiles with semi synthetic than one time with synthetic oil at 10kmiles. |

gambus007: You car owners manual specifies service interval in distance covered or time elapsed whichever comes first. However, you must have used manufacturer recommended engine oil and filter to follow their service recommendation to the latter. For example, 2003 Honda Accord 4l owners manual recommends service at 10,000miles or 1year which ever comes first. There are a whole list of items to replace at various intervals. |

Seun: True. But you need to qualify it. A true synthetic is made using group IV or group V base oil stocks. This is what most European Oils Blenders use. Unfortunately most of the oils we personally import come from the United States which allows group III base oil stocks to be considered as synthetic. So we have a situation where oils made from group III base oil stocks can claim to be 100% Fully Synthetic provided they will be sold or manufactured in the United States. Castrol started this and many other Oil Manufacturers followed suit. Today most people rely on a known brand name rather than research as a guide in selecting motor oils for their cars forgetting that oil manufacturers from time to time alter the formulations that form the oils. I remember in the 90s when a certain synthetic oil was launched in Lagos claiming to last 25,000kms. Today we are told that the extended performance version of this oil will go 25,0000kms. So what does the normal version do today? If you conduct a search online you will find that the normal version is now being made using group III base oil stock while the extended performance version is made using group IV base oil stock. We shall get there slowly but surely and many of us will waste money in the process. 4 Likes 1 Share |

drhappy: Semi -synthetic and Synthetic Blend mean the same thing. They were introduced to lengthen the Oil Change Interval. It is more of cost saving than technological advancement. Remember that in certain countries the labour charge for an oil change may cost more than the oil and filter. The data sheet of any good oil will state the lower and upper temperature limits that the oil will flow or resist thermal breakdown. Have you compared these limits for a conventional vs blend vs full synthetic ? That is the only way you can be sure that an engine might be "fried" using a particular motor oil as against using a better known / advertised brand. The Castrol site states the flash point for their 5w30 conventional and synthetic ( edge with synthec power ) power is greater than 200 degrees centigrade. Mobil is more accurate. Their 5w30 conventional is 221 degrees centigrade while their mobil 1 5w30 is 230 degrees centigrade. According to the Milemaster website the flash point of their 5w30 synthetic blend is 231 degrees centigrade. So in conclusion unless the RX engine reaches temperatures exceeding 231 degrees you are fine with milemaster or any oil sharing its characteristics. 1 Like 1 Share |
