Engine Oil

former user of Castrol power 1 semi-synthetic for almost 1 year..

when we change the clutch springs and linings due to sliding issue, we noticed that theres a lot of
debris in the engine specially in clutch housing..

so we decided to changed the brand of oil..
is this for real? so does it mean that this semi synthetic can cause damage in our clutch? my friend is using this for 1 year and 6 months for his stock sniper but it still runs in good condition...if this the case, then i'll switch back to mobil1

20w 50... 220 pesos....
899 for fully synthetic
480 semi synthetic

i find mobil1 expensive that's why i changed into castrol...since i have a friend that uses it...maybe, what rhoitol is talking is his engine is not stock...that's why there's a lot of pressure in his clutch. IMHO :)

im not kidding sir, im not against any oil but that was my feedback to castrol.

yah, the engine responsed very good, but after 500 km of running the oil, the engine was too hot and lazy..
