Lubricant Discussion- Engine Oil / Gear Oil

[onlyfaith]

Bro. why u regularly change brands?

I am in search of a perfect brand. Also i ve nt used synthetice till now in 2 of my cars ie baleno and rolla.
Only used mineral oils in them so you ve to change them frequently. Lastly i was using ultra 7 but its not availible in pindi.
so i thought of using Mobil 1000 15w40 and the car responce has been awsome.

@Zic
Which oil would you recommend for Corolla GLi 2012? Zic XQ or OW? And can you kindly quote the approximate price of both?

ZIC OW is for 2600 (4 ltr pack) whereas ZIC XQ 4 ltr pack is for 3200 hundred. ZiC dealer told me other day that we can use OW for 8000 km and XQ for 12000 km!

Brother 15 days back i tried Mobil 1000 (15W40)for Rs 1950 from Rawalpindi. Although about 300-400 Rs expensive than other similar oils.I must say its the best oil availible.
I ve tried Havoline, Liquimoly,Shell even Castrol Magnatec and other very good brands but they are no match for Mobil.
You may try some authenticated shop Lahore. Mobil 2000 must be a bit more expensive than Mobil 1000. Mobil 1 (5w-50) I asked 15 days back was around Rs 45000/.

So the recommendation is if you can spend only a few more Bucks then nothing better than Mobil.

you mean 4500?? or 45000

[onlyfaith]

you mean 4500?? or 45000

thanx for the correction its Rs. 4500/ and not 45000/

15W-40 is usually for Diesel Engines...

5000 kms is considered severe urban service - not earlier, be sure to change the filter too

who told you 2000 kms?

Use ZIC XQ it will give best fuel economy for swift, i am also using the same, but do ensure to get the original one, it can be used for 7000 Kms easily. Also u can change the plugs to iridium Denso IK20 or NGK IFR6J11.It will give best fuel average and increase the power.

I use Shell Helix in both of my cars, Cultus 2007 and Corolla GLi 2006. Is Shell Helix a good brand? I haven't had any problems with it. But if the experts recommend I will switch from it..

I used Caltex Havoline synthetic this time..
Drive was very smooth after the change. The oil changer told me that it will give around 7000km mileage. Is that true?
