hi guys,
i use this oil in my 1.3 lancer on cng,,, actually the mitsu ppl just prefer this one.........
i wanted to know that how good is this???
is it mineral oil or synthetic one???
plz suggest other engine oils beter then this???
this is mineral oil..n its total crap!it only has the basic properties 2 lubricate n nothing more than tht!n woh b it loses its properties after 3-4k of driving n breaks down into sludge if not changed!this does no more than the basic funtion dont expect it 2 cleanse ur engine for u or nything else coz only fully synthetics do that!i wud recommend changing the brand of ur oil if u really love ur car n care abt it!besides shell oils r known to wear out pistons rings faster than u can say OYE YEH KYA HOAH?might as well switch to fully synthetic n play it safe..mobil1,liqui moly,shell ultra etc tc r all fully synthetic oils!the only difference is tht they are better n they have additives in em which clean up ur system as u keep on driving!they r alot more expensive than mineral but definately worth it!
its OK enging oil ... agreed with amirq
if u using this engine oil... try to change it after every 4K max ...
i am using the same since last 2 year ...
@ all
wat does this value indicate???
how to read it???
n wats its significance???
actually i hv no idea about this,,,ur help will be appreciated.

@ pico
I think this number tells the viscosity of the oil if i am not wrong...20W-50 is more thicker than 10W-40...the lesser the no...the oil will be thinner....This brand is not too good...u can use Zic A+...its very good
read my other post the engine flush 1 read it carefully i hav mentioned it dere sumwhere n iv even xplained.find it dere its dere sumwhere
@ aamirq
thanks bro,,
i think i shud switch over too mobil 1,,,,, waisay mobil 1 ka viscocity number kya hay???
Shell makes too much engine noise, i think its not good.Total cng is also goodor go for havoline formula.
mobil1 is 5w50! meaning at cold startings it will be ready 2 flow even at room temp! n when it warms upto its normal operating temperature it will work as well as any 50 grade oil! using 5w40/5w50 shud b ok for ur car!using a 5w40 is as good as using a 10w40 the only difference is that 5w provides far more better protection during cold startings by cold i mean sardiyoon mein b n even when uve parked the car outside all nite during normal days!
anyother suggestion bros..........
