    Always try to use Synthetic Oil especially where the weather is hot. 0-25K KM : 0W30/5W30 25K-100K: 5W/30 100K+ KM: 10W30/10W40 untill your car started reducing oil on every change of oil. If the guage show a bit decline in oil then start using 15W50/20W50.

    The only usable oil for those which care about own engines are 0w40 for siberia, alaska and norway, then 5w50 or 10w60 for the rest of the world. Those 0w20 are specifically made for consumerist-globalist policies and for make you buy "newer car" after guarantee expires. You have to be absolute mental retarded, a non-brainer monkey .. to put in your engine 0w20 because that said car manufacturer 😂

    The manual of my Suzuki Grand Vitara recommends the use of 5W30. Nevertheless, the very same user's manual provides a table with temperature ranges coverage of different types of engine oils. Therefore, I assume the real recommendation of the user manual is to choose an oil in accordance to your particular environment. For instance, I do live in Barcelona, where temperatures go from -5 to +40 degrees Celsius. So I understand it is for me better to choose a 10W40 oil (range between -20 and 40 degrees) than the 5W30 oil (range between -30 and 30 degrees) recommended in more general terms. Am I right?

    Hmmm..? "-35 C never occures in Europe.."? Europe is actually a bit more/larger than France ...🧐 & Includes areas in the north where a winter temperature of -35 C is not all that unusual.. The last couple of days it has eaven been down to -43,5 C in parts of northern Sweden, which is very much part of Europe..🧐

    Every corporate oil guy screams only 0000000 oil! Even old 2000 high mile cars. Oil rings spraying oil into piston to burn. Stupid engine destroying green mandates!!!!!! All free thinking maintenance persons of high IQ run a slightly heavier oil and increase viscocity according to ambient temp driving as well as 100000 mileage usage. We old maintenence people never blow engines. We do not burn oil much at all. 250000 miles and clean driveways too. Experience rules if we are not stealership conned.

  • @PhillMac
    @PhillMac 11 месяцев назад

    Best explanation video! 👍 So many people don't know that the biggest engine wear occurs on cold starts, so it is super important to choose a low winter "W" viscosity oil (0W or 5W) even here in Europe, and especially with Diesel engines. 👀

I found that the manufacturer made recommendations to use viscosity oil 10w40. And here the weather is very hot. Is it useful to use this oil in temperatures up to 50 c ?

    You don't have to change oils to different grades during different parts of the year you can use the same oil y'all year-round I usually they're 5W20 or 0w20 all year round I have never have any problem

    Every oil is different difects the best safer side use for cars over 5 years sae full synthetic oil high mileage , if you lived in high heat areas an oil is recommended 10-30 , use half 5-20 or just 20 0-20 for winter use 10-40 , or 15-40 , if is is 0w 20 then you use 0w-20 half the other half 5w-30 , never overfilled oil capacity ,

  • @davidfalconer8913

    At the start of the video you mention the oil warning light ... on most cars ( should it come on ) a lot of damage has already been done ! ... so .... check your oil levels regularly , a MUST on older models ... if it comes on when the level is correct ( after a long hot drive ? ) , your oil pump MUST be replaced immediately ! .... but in this event a handy ( get you home trick ) is to put a SMALL amount of ( VERY thick ) gear oil ( SAE 80 / 90 / 140 ) into the engine , this will cancel the light and enable you to get to your dealer ( or motor parts department ) ... a ( tried - n - tested ) remedy ..........

    It's pretty easy. Open the Owner's Manual and use the correct grade and quality recommended by the people who produced the vehicle. Close the manual = Done.

    Just use the viscosity your dealer says or look at your oil filler cap.if your vehicle starts to leak a bit or use oil start using high mileage oil. The chemical in the oil reconditions the seals inside the engines

    I used only 10w30 Pennzoil all my vehicles from 0 miles to over 200,000 miles never a issue . From heavy duty trucks to corvettes out side temps from 26 degrees to 110 degrees . For years last truck was 16 years had it from new , work truck at that. oil changed every 3000 -4000 miles and filter. Sea Form and Pennzoil for years all with never a engine issue or burning oils , I don’t race though , if I did I would use then 5W 30 and change out way sooner ,that my ingredients for the “ Cake By The Ocean”

      Si votre Yaris est équipé d' un turbo, utilisez de la 5W30. Surtout en conduite urbaine (petits trajets de moins de 20 kms). La 15W40 est prévue pour les moteurs atmosphériques, sans turbo. Par contre, si vous n' avez rien d' autres sous la main, il vaut mieux une 15W40, qu' une vieille huile, ou pas d' huile du tout 😉.

    • @lonniebeal6032
      @lonniebeal6032 3 года назад

      Use a viscosity chart online and use the oil that works best for the time of season. If it's really cold for months, use a 0w20 for those months, then when it's constantly hot use a 15w50 or what ever fits that temp...In either case, any full synthetic will offer the best protection. This guys video agrees with my statement.
