Engine oil Kendall or ZIC
okay naman ang Zic, which variant will you be using? Sa office namin halos lahat ng sasakyan, trucks and forklifts included, Zic X6000 ang gamit namin in the last 5 years, never had an issue with it
Pros: no issues in 5 years
I tried 10W40 in my car as 5W40 was beyond my budget at the time and it's been great.
Pros: great performance
I used kendall 20w50 in race engines, though those saw 7-8 grand shifts, and lasted about a year.
Pros: lasted under harsh conditions
Before 2023 i was using zic 0w20 but caltex has newer technology
Pros: newer technology
Used this for my old Alterra that made it to 250k mileage. Good budget option.
Pros: good budget option
Vehicle:
Isuzu
Mileage: 250000 km
One of the best engine oils, exclusive Zic lang ginagamit ko, and it's a Korean company so alam mong goods yan. Pero ako Zic X9 ang ginagamit ko, mas mahal kaysa sa M9 pero API SP naman na and may resource conserving certifications kaya mas madulas and mas tipid sa gas.
Pros: mas madulas, mas tipid
Cons: mas mahal
Been using it for over a year now sa daily scooter ko. Change oil every 2.5k kms, and so far, less wear and tear naman. Engine feels smoother, and surprisingly, di ganun kadumi yung langis pag draining time. Solid for daily use.
Pros: Engine feels smoother
Cons: less wear and tear
Mileage: 2500 km
Im using zic sa vehicles namin. So far ok naman.
Pros: ok naman
Ran Kendall 15x40 for a number of years, ran Shell T4 till it got oddly hard to find, currently running Delo 15w40
Cons: oddly hard to find
I’m currently living in Korea and switched to a ZIC SK Enmove X8 5w-30 full synthetic and OEM Kia filter 26300-35505. Pretty much directly after ticking started.
Cons: ticking started after switch
Vehicle:
Kia
Part number: 26300-35505
