I'm officially a 20wt convert

[Garlic]

Had mine 10K servicing with Terrence last Sunday and I'm now officially a 20wt oil convert!

 

The engine now no longer has to cope with the crappy 20W50 mineral used by C&C.

 

Decided to go with a 20wt as it was highly recommended in the user manual, experience with M1 0W20 for the past few days was a pleasant one, I'm surprised by the throttle response and smoothness. Besides that, engine note was much softer during cold morning starts.

 

Honestly, it took me quite a while to overcome the 20wt barrier and I'm glad I did.

 

I have also added a few ounces of LC20 to beef up the oil.

 

 

Will be draining the oil out at 7.5K for an UOA to determine engine health, was told 5W20 EP is reaching our shores soon.

[Falc]

Is wt20 recommended in your car manual at all? Or you took a step of faith?

[Seanboi]

typo la...

 

Was multi tasking.

[Garlic]

Yes its stated in the owner's manual, using a 20wt oil will yield optimal fuel economy and engine performance.

i've just checked my car service manual.. the lowest it can go is 5w30. I will change to that next.. now on 5w40.

[Alvinchua1975]

Think it will be my favourite if not for the price for RL20wt.

 

Since on budget, decided to go for Shaffeur 20wt. Also as good... Maybe add some addictives will even be better.
