10w30 is perfectly fine in old vehicles , makes cold starting more easy, specially in winters:)

Naa..I disagree...it might be WORKABLE in WINTERS for a 98 Mehran...:S
other wise 10w/30 is very thin for an old engine....old engines losing compressions start to blow out black smoke...plus in summers(not even extreme ones) chances r it might leak away nd unable to perform its job to protect the engine...i`ve mentioned 20w/50 considering that winters r almost a bye bye now in a month or so.
nd these conditions are for an engine thats been driven 80k plus..nd for a 14 years old..its obvious

bro, in my previous post i gave so many options priority wise and havoline 10w30 is 1 of them, not the only one.
However as you said its still workable in winters.:).

the main thing is that at this stage the poster should not use synthetic oils, as the seals may leak due to strong detergent action, the seals dont leak for a 10w30 mineral oil as its adequately thick enough.
Also most oil discussions recommend using mineral oils in cars after 75000 miles:o and not KM.
However that is a separate discussion:)

In every case the recommended OEM grade gives the best guidelines abt grades.

I ve seen this oil, the packing is of grey colour i think and the packing is like packing of Mobil..

I didnt use it myself, but someone who was using it said its cost was low was actually quite satisfied..
