Just wondering.....I am currently using Total 5w30....But then, Malaysia weather so hot couple with my engine being turbocharged, wouldnt it be too much heat for the oil grade to take? I mean i am just guessing la.
What do you guys think? Would the viscosity for the 5w be very thin and cannot protect the engine with the heat that its going through?
dont worry abt the front fiigure as its for cold climate country which we arent.
only worry abt the rear figure.
why there is 2?
because its multigrade oil which is design work on wider climate.
nowadays all modern engine are recommended to run on x30w.
this is due to the near perfect tolerence the manufacturing process can achieve.
old engine are most suitable on thicker oilxw50 to reduces oil consuption and increase protection as the wear and tear is going to be huge.
its something like that.
however,castrol edge have xw60 for track purpose.
can u ised it daily,yes but with compromise on usable performance and ftankly its a total waste of money.
highest u can go in my point of view is xw40.if the current service center 5w30 is super expensive.
but sc wont do it as to avoid their so called warranty.
the current fill your sc uses are of api SN grade if not mistaken which supposedly has super eco friendly substance and quality and which is why its super expensive.
at tesco i doubt there are oil besing sold with high api hrade like that.
what important after yr oil grade is to change it on time as yrs is turbo engine.
even i'm on na,i change less than the so recommended oci as the oil at tesco are too cheap.
heck i used their fs oil for only 5k km.
so will be with the total energy my waja is on.
