AoA all, I'm planning to change the engine oil of my Toyota Passo within a couple of days. The car is 7500 kms driven (genuine). I was thinking about Zic X7 5W-20 but still wanted to ask if I could go for something better than that! Wise suggestions required!
I suggest you to use 5w30 and not 5w20.Liquimoly is a good brand.
Look under the bonnet 5w20 sir

Brother, 0W20, and 5W20 is low Viscosity suitable for Japan. But here in Pakistan, the ambient temperature goes to 43+ degree Celsius; hence is not suitable here. 5W30 is the best choice.
Another question: If I go for 5W30, would I have to switch to 5W20 in winters as my car must not have done 3000-4000 kms by winters. P.S. My car is not a daily runner so it barely does 30-50 kms a week

Brother, what you insist on 5W20. 5W30 is perfect for all seasons.
As you said wise suggestions required.
Use 10w 30 in winterAnd 15w 40 in summer

Numbers 30 and 40 represent the thickness of oil
Where as the number .. WRepresents cold start characteristic

If you are in karachi, sindh or punjab then please only use 20w50 dont use 0w or 5w or 10w they are for cold areas... Rest is your wish

Bhai jaan the 2nd no in engine oil grade dictates that, how much external temperature it can handle ! The 1st temp tells u how low temp it can work in , lower the 1st number the thinner the oil will be on cold start

I know this
Use 5w-40 fully synthetic imported oil
Dont use 5w40 any oil if you live in mostly hot areas because its thin oil and friction in the parts of engine will be greater and engine life will be reduced because when engune heats up viscosity also decreased and if you are using already thin oil that will be harmful. Hope u understand
Dont waste your mony and just buy genuine toyota oil 20w50 from authorized toyota showroom and enjoy your ride...
