i fully agreed! yesterday my friend ask me abt oil change i suggest mineral oil 20w-50 for mehran car. but when he go for oil change work shop. Oil Tip Top shop manger warmly welcome entertain with bottles give other cleaning service of car .. Then forcefully recommend Zic A+ by shop manger... its pakis people psych go for expensive items...
Castrol 20W50 SG or Kixx 20W50 SF
Shell HX5 10w40 for newer engines
and Castrol 20w50 for older one's
Hx 5 is api sn. Not suitable for a mehran
driving the car with more than 50,000 kmno issues what so ever
Well there is a justification for what I am suggesting. A 0 meter swift's owners manual says to use api sm or sn oils but a 0 meter mehran's model says to use api sg oils. This proves that mehran' engine, whether carby or efi, should be fed with older grades
What about Zic A 10w-40?

No way. Its again api sn. Not to be used in a mehran. The best for a mehran is zic m 15w40.
Shell Helix HX-5 is not purely synthetic oil. Since im using it for 2 years, and it had better mileage to
as compared to other brands (i tested zic,castrol , sgo)
, i dont think so this oil is anything near dangerous for mehran
People have quoted cam failures. Ur case might be exceptional, but it is not about synthetic or mineral oils. The real issue is that grades above api sj lack the adequate amounts of zddp which mehran's flat tappet engines need. U might not gradually face the consequences, they can be sudden. Senior members @xulfiqar, @tintin1 @syncview have strictly warned mehran owners to stick to older grades oil such as api sg and sj. Think over the fact that why older grades are still in the market and promoted by oil companies.
Himmi_pak Helix Hx5 or Ax5?
Shell Helix HX5
Sorry for typo
lets see when my cams worn out, 2 Year is a exceptional long time infact the previous owner was using it since 2009
