RE: Which oil grade?
they factory is 20w-50! & some locally made saudi dino(sounds like crap) I am thinking thats why my fuel economy sucks: 19mpg city.
My manual simply says use any API service SL or higher grade oil & select the proper sae viscosity oil according to this chart: 0w-20,ow-30 & ow-40 are given spanning over ambient temperature range -20 to 100 degrres F 5w-30 & 5w-40 span over the same range as well. 10w-30 & 10w-40 span the range from 0 to 100 degrees f. 15w-40 spans from 10 degrees f to 100. I wonder whats the point of that chart!!??? [&:] it doesnt recommend any specific grade at all. help me guys.The guys at the factory are morons(locals) I asked them which grade you use,they said it was 50w!!! I undesrstood it was 20w-50. BTW-Ambient temperature ranges from 25-40 degrees celsius. |
