Engine oil RAVENOL or ZIC
I currently use Zic 5W-20 oil in my mirage
it has around 190kms
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Mirage
Mileage: 190 km
I have an Octavia 2.5 vRS TDI and it has 450k km now, it only drank 5w30 and never an issue, not even in cold winters and I had a few -25 starts and it started right away, at the first key turn.
Pros: easy cold winter starts
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Mileage: 450000 km
Zic M9 10w40 fully synthetic ako for Honda Click. Changed oil every 2k km. 29k odo and never pa ko binigyan ng problema
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 2000 km
Been using it for several years already and very popular brand na sya ngayon since anak ni Lucio Tan ang distributor.
Use their X7 if you plan to change oil every 6 months. Use X7000 for yearly changes.
Pros: popular brand, longer use
Even Ravenol, which is pretty expensive since it is made in Germany from Group V base stock. Great stuff.
Pros: great stuff
Cons: pretty expensive
I used to have castrol but since i chiptuned my octavia i switched to ravenol and the oil temps went down a good bit and it doesnt use any oil but that could also be because the old oil was 0w20 and the new one is 5w40
Pros: oil temps went down
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Last month I replaced the valve stem seals and it helped massively with the smoke. It doesn't really smoke much anymore, there's definitely still small puffs when taking off quickly, but nothing that I can see in the mirror.
Pros: helped massively with smoke
Cons: still small puffs
Vehicle:
BMW
I go with 10w40 Ravenol TSi
Used zic for several years with no issues. This year lang ako nagpalit ng ibang brand since nagmahal na zic dun sa suking auto supply ko.
Pros: no issues experienced
Cons: price increased
I’ve been using zic oil for 6 years now. Ok naman I did not experience any issue.
Pros: no issues experienced
