haseebaw (haseebaw) 2014-05-13 05:29:10 +0500 #3

Farhansa (Farhansa) 2014-05-13 05:31:44 +0500 #4

Caltex Havoline Formula 10W-30 is very good oil.

Another product is also available in market named "Havoline CNG Oil", is it also good for CNG vehicle?
and what about the comparison of Havoline with ZIC?

havoline cng oil has more zddp content which means extra protection to valves and other components. but its 20w-50 so it is for used older engines.
btw i want the comparison between zic m vs zic hiflo vs havoline 20w-50(both regular and cng).

for car?

Shell Helix 10w40 HX 5G (CNG)

used twice and found it amazing

ride Mehran VXR 2009

Definately Shell has advanced lubrication formula for engine protection but is it more curable and fuel efficient than Caltex and ZIC?

yes i have got fuel economy

on petrol car was giving 16 km / L and now 20 km/ L without AC

CNG also increased 5 KM / PER KG

oil is good for 3000 km or more i recently change it and its viscosity retained and colour came out wasnt so bad either

1680 Rs for 3 Litre

Engine noise is reduced too

what they claim i found all of it , bought from metro CC

CAR is Suzuki Mehran 06 and Odo is 23000Km.
Want to switch from Havoline 20w50 to ZIC A+ or SHell for fuel economy and reduced engine oil consumption.

your car is reducing oil???

haseebaw (haseebaw) 2014-05-14 05:17:27 +0500 #15

Yes oil reduction issue is there and white smoke also exists.

umarkhan1 (umarkhan1) 2014-05-14 11:15:09 +0500 #16

change your valve seals then-switching to a thinner oil will result in more oil consumption
