Is 20w50 okay for honda reborn 1800 cc?

[pwuser156475951579]

I am currently using caltex havoline 20w50 in my civic 2008 but few people told me as the winter is around the corner this high viscosity oil will cause problems so can anyone help me with if i should stick with 20w50 or shall i start using 10w40?

[hasankhurshid29]

Why are you using that much thick oil? I think this is bad for your car even in summer or winter. Any reason why you are not using honda recommended oil?

[Vaqas1]

Well 20w50 is thick even in summers. If your engine is in good shape try 5w30 or 10w30.

[Xulfiqar]

Instead of 20w50 multigrade, try sae 50 monograde and with api rating no higher than SC

[ghulamrasul206]

Use 5-40 if your engine is in good cond,otherwise use 10/40

[Xulfiqar]

While rest of world drive this car on 5w20

[muslimh4554n]

use 5w40 Zic or 5w50 liqui moly

[Junaid_riaz]

As your car is old so thick oils are good for old cars....however change step by step
10-40 non Synthetic if no smoke comes out of engine (car reduces oil after 3000 kms)
then not next oil change 5-30 semi synthatic..and check again.

in this way you can save money

I sold my 2006 8th Gen couple of years ago with 125k kms on ODO. Was using 5W30 in R18 - engine was silky smooth and powerful. Either use 5W30 or 10W30.

YA ALLAH TAUBAH.

The best engine oil for this car and easily available in pakistan is 5w30 from honda on green packing thats fully synthetic and does the job great.

Also...do share the details of the legend who asked you to use 20w50 in this car. Issay behtar tha app desi ghee daal lien

Why mechanics here recommendz 20W50? Is this because of weather?

[hasankhurshid29]

Well,you can use any fluid as per your desire,but understanding the Pakistan's weather and atmospheric conditions it is mandatory to use higher grade oil in older and high millage vehicles, due to some wear and tear in engine components thick and viscous fluid stops leaks and prevent excess friction between pistons and engine body,and moreover high cc engines work faster and harder and produce much heat and pressure in this way if we put lower grade than 20w50 in older vehicles,the engine will b…

Please someone clarify this

[pwuser156475951579]

Okay this confusing.. Just recommend me one oil plz i dont want my car to get in any bad shape

[khuram2703]

Not because of weather. This is the last life saving injection for the patient moments before death by the Ustaad Mechanics .... hahahahahahahahahaha.....

5W30 from any good company as it's recommended

Mostly engines are not dying but people are using 20W50 losing economy and creating excess friction in the engine. My relative has corolla 1999 in USA and he is using 5W30 with 400,000 kms on odo. Also the weather is relatively same as he is in houston

[khuram2703]

Till now "" BIGUN "" (Big End Bearing) & main brg clearances would have gone wild. 5/30 will make the situation more worst now.... Wish him a good luck with his engine adding if the car is 100k kms plus.......

The Ustaad Mechanic will say " Paa ji patla teil na pao BIGUN awaz kar jaan gay"

[khuram2703]

You are right my brother!
But the engine which is not designed for 20/50 will start dying on a very much faster pace.
As per OEM recommendations engines can last hundreds of thousands of kms even in Pak.
I have friends with 8th, 9th Gen civics clocking 250k kms in Pak with Honda recommended oil grade 5W-30 and going strong....
