Honda engine oil 0W20 SN

There is no doubt it will give a smoother drive and a better economy.... 0w20 or 5w20 whichever will loose its viscosity at higher temperatures specially above 30. I won't put it if I was living in PK.

Is Honda recommending this? I seriously don't know why

It is only recommended for Turbo engine to reduce wear and tear at startup

Even oriel gets 5w-30

Bhai normal engines may be wear and tear hoti hay..anyways everyone has its own opinion..I'm using 0w-20 in my aspire 112000km driven without any issue

5W30 is better and time tested in your case

Khurramchauhdary (Khurram Aslam) 2019-02-15 19:44:17 +0500 #47

Being semi synthetic 5W30 will lost viscosity earlier because 0w20 is fully synthetic latest formula.

I am using same in my civic x oriel without any issue since june 17.

Within the engine there are lot more high temperatures than our environment. Environment doesnt account when it comes for engin in operation, it can only add 10 to 30 degrees, but engines usually have temperatures more than hundred.

Dear I have honda city 1.3L prosmatic with 13000 odo. previously I have changed oil from honda service centre with 5w-30 two times. Now the oil change is due. Should i go for Honda 0w-20 at this stage.

Yes you can. I did the same with mine. First and second oil changes were with 5w30. Then my friend recommended 0w20 and i asked the person at 3s. He said yes you can although he didn't agreed with me on increasing change interval after 0w20.

5 30 is fine continue with it 0-20 was specifically imported for Turbo 1.5 engine. City has old engine and 0-20 is not even recommended in its owner manual.

i would recommend any 0w20 or 0w30 with API rating of SN "Plus" specifically designed for GDI Turbos to deal with LSPI.

Ussamah (Honda City Mehran) 2019-08-30 14:59:44 +0500 #54

Btw 1.5 turbo and 1.5 city and BRV uses the same engine.

I would recommend Total Quartz 9000 Future Series 5w-30.

Its best for bucks, meets latest criteria and standards, and would be best suited for your ride.

anon35615524 2019-08-30 17:06:13 +0500 #57

What???

1.5 turbo and 1.5 city share the same engine???

anon35615524 2019-08-30 17:13:59 +0500 #58

I would recommend Fully Synthetic Total Quartz 9000 Future Series 5w-30 (if engine is perfectly healthy) or Mineral Oil Caltex Havoline 10w-30 (if engine health is not that strong).

Both are best for bucks, meet latest criteria and standards, and would be best suited for your ride. Just change oil + filter after regular intervals!

5w-50 may be strongly avoided. Its performance grade motor oil, may be best suited for sports cars, racing, drag racing, etc. 5w-30 and 10w-30 are good enough for "Insanoo wala use"!

Regarding Gear Oil, follow the grade mentioned in your car's owners / users manual. Regarding brand, you may buy it from any reputed brand.

I hope, it helps. Thank you.

Dude what?!?!?!?

roony (roony) 2019-08-30 18:02:23 +0500 #60

yes. turn off ac in city and it activates boost...

Ussamah (Honda City Mehran) 2019-08-30 18:53:29 +0500 #61

Yup. You can confirm. It just tuned differently with turbo installed

anon35615524 2019-08-30 20:39:38 +0500 #62

Well, as per my limited knowledge, Honda City 1.5L 5th generation here in Pakistan has L15A7 i-VTEC SOHC engine, whereas, the tenth generation Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo here in Pakistan has L15B7 Turbocharged DOHC engine.

I do not think they are same with just difference of Turbo, there are differences: SOHC Vs DOHC, Compression ratio, Torque, Power (which will obviously higher in Turbo).
