Hello guys couple of days back i had chat with Zic's official i had sent them my feedback
about their products & also some suggestion of launching dedicated engine oil for generator
the next day i was contacted by them there was call from lahore from Adan he introduced himself
as technical engineer i had very good chat with him he was good guy talking nicely & trying to explain things
in the email i sent i had complained of Zic 4t 10w40 and had quoted it as terrible engine oil
and we know about its performance very well there are many unsatisfied users of this engine
which includes me too
On this thing he said sir can you kindly tell what is wrong with oil?
i told him about its cons & performance he said sir its our best engine oil
fully synthetic oil launched in pakistan and there are many happy users of this oil
i told him there may be but i & my friends having very bad experience with it i said to
him may be as these engine oil are latest so and our bikes are based on old tech so that
is why its causing problem had chit chat on API specifications he said sir latest API specification
also backward compaitable with older engines and i was very impressed with this guy he had good
knowledge about engine oils obviously it was his job but was nice to talk with him he further said
sir i agree it is possible you are having issue with oil which is really surprising for us i adored Zic 20w40
he was saying 20w40 & 10w40 should be technically equally thick so heating issue with 10w40 is unusual
well technical he was very right but guys as we know how Zic 10w40 zic performs its almost same bad
experience with every one who used it and most complain was about heating
He was admiring 10w40 & was saying this fully synthetic engine oil 10w40 keeps engine clean
i further asked him question about which viscosity grade engine oils is good for older engine?
he told 20w50 grade engine oil is good for old engine and 10w40 oil is good for new engine
giving reference to their car Zic A 10w40 is best to be used in new engines & for old long mileage engine
ZIc HIFLO 20w50 is good
and on launching dedicated engine oil for generator he said we have noted your suggestion
but he was insisting generators does not need special engine oil you can use Zic HIFLO 20w50
its general engine oil for gasoline & cng engines can be used in generator as well
& said we also use same in our generators
