Which oil should you use? 5W30/5W40/5W50? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestiksg 2nd Gear June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 Currently using Synergy Diamond PAO 5W-40, on my '08 SSS. Daily driver, not tracked. Do 8-9k oil change intervals. Strangely, Suzuki user manual recommends 15000km changes Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazda-6 1st Gear June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 Mazda-6 Using Total 5W/40. I usually change arnd 12000km, sometimes a bit more. Personally I think its a waste of money and time to change any earlier for a BNB NA car, its just a personal thought. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now lazy, so always goes for the Groupon offer. Price almost the same with engine oil and oil filter. Saved my trouble of disposal of used oil.

Trex101 3rd Gear July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 i posted this in another thread before but i think it can be useful here also... check out this article.. quite informative about engine oil.. hope this is of some help :) http://www.animegame.com/cars/Oil%20Tests.pdf This street commodore testing was done many years ago and this type of testing only test the extreme pressure additives(boundary lubrication) and did not indicate the other 2 regimes of lubrication(hydrodynamic and elastohydrodynamic). Anyway, Royal Purple has move on from that time and now only Royal Purple HPS series contain the Synerlec additive lubricant technology. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
