@abid110 bhai is right, your Engine is too dirty, too sludge due to either Fake oil or Low quality or wrong spec oil or your drain interval is too high
Engine bay condition is also too dirty sems u have not cleaned it since ages

BTW u or previous owner ran it on 20W-50??????? Also change your gear oil asap

[ghufranhaq]

@brownrose78 which oil should i use? My ODO meter reading is 125k and currently i am using 20w50 Zic oil.

[brownrose78]

@ghufranhaq
20W-50 means your engine already would have too much sludge. BETTER AFTER DRAINING YOUR OLD ENGINE OIL, flush your engine with Flush Oil, then add new oil of Suzuki/Castrol 10W-40 SG Grade only. Also change & use only QAIM oil filter +QAIM Air filter with each oil change.

[ghufranhaq]

Thanks bro, i will certainly do that, my next oil change is due in next month. So will try your advice.

Always buy from a trusted oil dealer. Search for best auto part shop and ask him that u want 100% genuine oil. Petrol pumps, oil stations, oil shops almost most of them sell repacked oils. Keep engine oil drain oil period max to 3500km and just throw it out. Pour in new genuine oil and you will be good to go

My suggestion would be to use 10w40. This engine was not meant to run on too thin oil rest i would appreciate other members to share thre experience

[abid110]

10/40 is an ideal oil for all conditions we have in paki.

[ghufranhaq]

So i assume 20w50 is thin oil rather than 10w40? Can someone please explain the thickness, as i am confused now. I thought 20w50 is thick oil as all Oil companies recommend this spec for car which have done 100K above on ODO.

[adilfarid]

20w50 is the thickest. 0w20 is the thinnest. Thinner oils are for new cars and for cars above 1 lacs 10w40 is a good oil though my civic 2003 is almost 180k on the odo is still on 5w20 but its on the same oil since i bought it in 2007 with 43k on the odo back then.

[ghufranhaq]

Ok, so i was using 20w50, since i bought the car, tried Guard, then Havoline recommended by mechanic, and now on last oil change i used Zic. I was facing oil reducing issue which is still there. My next oil change is due now, changing oil after every 2000 km. I will follow your and @brownrose78 advise and use 10w40.

[abid110]

first make sure that oil you buy is 100% original - be aware that market is flooded with fake oils everywhere. secondly, the bigger the numbers in oil, the thicker the oil is (in laymans language).

[abid110]

ALWAYS use thin gear oil - do not exceed viscosity number of 75

[adilfarid]

Too much thin and the seals will leak. Trust me on this and the repairing work isent cheap lol

@ahmed12355
Ahmed Sb. 5w-30 SN grade is too thin and also there is issue of Chemical component "zddp" which is low in your oil, u might feel it little underpower engine so use only 10w-40 SG grade. Always see API spec/grade like SG,SJ,SN etc.
Yes that is true but another story that thin oil will erupt from seals after becoming old/dense so it is suggested to keep ur engine always in good condition
