Collected my car from the benkel bawah pokok, sent to service/oil change/check up recently
Sifu says masuk 5W-40 instead of 0W20 for my turbo car, last month sent the non turbo (same engine) he masuk 0W-20 pulak.

Forgot to ask what oil is used in the S2000 he was tuning. My other Honda use 5W30.


Oil viscosity recommendations
0W-20 full synthetic: This is the manufacturer's recommended viscosity for optimal performance and protection, particularly in a wide temperature range.

5W-30 full synthetic: This is the factory-recommended oil for most conditions and a suitable choice for a turbocharged engine. A high-quality 5W-30 can provide excellent protection.

5W-40 full synthetic: A thicker oil like 5W-40 can provide better protection in high-performance or high-stress applications, but it may reduce fuel economy slightly.

10W-40 or 15W-50: These heavier viscosities are generally recommended for heavily modified engines or those that operate in extreme conditions.



Some other car for reference

Proton Preve
Engine: 1.6-liter CamPro CFE turbocharged, intercooled four-cylinder petrol engine
Power: 138 hp (103 kW)
Torque: 205 Nm between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm
Proton Preve turbo engine typically uses a 10W-40 or 5W-40 engine oil

Proton S70
Engine: 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
Horsepower: 148 hp (150 PS).
Torque: 226 Nm.
Proton S70, the recommended engine oil is a fully synthetic 5W-30 or 5W-40

FK8/FL5 Type R
Engine oil specifications require a 0W-20 full synthetic oil with an API Certification Seal (like API SN) and ILSAC GF-5 rating. While 0W-20 is the factory recommendation for everyday use due to efficiency, some owners may opt for thicker oils like 5W-30 for track use,

F30/G20 BMW 320
F30 - 0W-30 or 5W-30 or 5W40 viscosity and a BMW Longlife oil specification like LL-04 (for many diesel models) or LL-01/LL-01 FE+
G20 - 0W20 to 5W40, but 5W-30 commonly used

Just follow what your car owner manual recommends lor, easy and straightforward.

If want more protection but not willing to sacrifice much FE, maybe can consider those LL01 with 5W-30 or 0W-30. These are slightly thicker than your everyday 5W-30 GF5/6A at (1<>10cSt) maybe 11.x cSt.

i use 5w 30, after my bro take over, he just top up and change cheap engine oil, i no eye see

This is Mazda cx5 recommended EO.

For our tropical country, will go for 5W-30.

0W-20 just to meet specific country emission regulations.

My crap ass 4g18 waja use leftover oil collected scrap oil bottle, I mix it with whatever i can find, janji is oil inside has 0w20, 5w20, 5w30, 5w40, 10w40, 15w40, 10w60, differential oil (75w90), motocycle 4T oil, Porsche PDK oil and a little bit of ATF

Whatever oil as stated in user manual. Don't be shy to read.

My car engine cap already state SAE 0W-20, but then gatal want to try 5W-30, car feel heavy. lol. after 2 weeks, cannot tahan change back 0w-20.

Most car, I think on cap already state, but then, some pomen really dont follow it.

Erk... x-20 is thinner than x-30. Sluggish engine for sure.

Many pomen don't trust the engineers that built the engine. They only 'trust' their guts. and many never had any formal automotive professional training.

Bengkel bawah pokok serbis S2000?

i order bold just arrive. free wangi2

same as mine ^^

Then inside the power steering also got a few different kind of ATF fluid, the original whatever fluid which i dunno what that came from previous owner, then i added toyota AT WS fluid, Toyota Type IV, Ford Mercon V, toyota CVT FE, Dexron III, some dunno what multivehicle ATF, LubeGard Seal Fixx (Yeah is leaking big time that why ), some old KIA / Hyundai ATF (which i drained from scrapped transmission oil cooler ). Somehow after using the seal fixx the leak had stopped entirely now i will just change it like every few week, janji is red color i will pour it in.

biasa la... cannot go official SC, go bengkel bawah pokok

5-40 jer la apa susah

haha... previously my myvi also using whatever leftover from other cars EO
