Lubricant Discussion- Engine Oil / Gear Oil

[ifadey]

now jumpy at the front

This could be a sign of worn out shocks or struts

On level roads it start moving left and lane change within 50 meters at 65 kmhr speed. If in stop and go traffic, within 2 car lengths the front-end reaches the left lane...

When did you last perform the brake service? If your alignment and suspension is ok, then check brake caliper pin. A stuck brake caliper pin can cause the vehicle to move sideways.

brake calipers recently checked... and shocks/struts also routinely checked.. I mean after every 1-3 months I get these/such things checked...
So
1. Tires were checked (swapped etc)
2. Suspension fully checked n repaired (including steering rack replace)
3. Brakes were also checked..
..
by jumpy i meant the road holding is not good as before (that departure from straight on road imperfections)

Your control arm bushings and / or your strut hats are shot

Hi Wheelers,

I have corolla'19 with 72k ODO. I have been using 5w-20 ZIC. Do I need to change engine oil grade as mileage is increasing?

No symptoms are noticed in the engine, everything is fine.

Car is driven mostly in upper and central Punjab.

[zia1288]

No need to change it. You can keep using it.

[zia1288]

Firstly, the recommended oil for your car is 5W30. Secondly, you don't need to change oil at 1000-1500 km.

5w-20

The manual recommends 5w30 for this car. I was planning to shift my corolla to 0w20 but @Xulfiqar guided me that though 0w20 will work but this engine (2nzfe) is more happy with 5w30.

[saadcarnot]

@zia1288 I change after every 5000 currently.

[zia1288]

That is a short interval for this oil. You can use it upto 9,000-10,000 km with OEM oil filter or any other filter with filter change at 5000 km

Salam Everyone. I have a Honda City 2009 Auto. I bought it last year. Meter is showing 120k reading (not sure whether it's real or altered) but the engine is in good condition (soundless, no smoke, and no vibration). My mechanic insisted to use 20w50 as it's passed 100k but I used Kixx 10w40 Semi-synthetic. I have seen people using 10w40 and 5w30 in Honda City.

I need your expert advice on which oil I should use. Also my I am having a low average issue in the city but giving me a good average on the highway.

Note: My running is very low and I hardly cover 3000 km in 3 months. Should I change the oil in 3 months or should I wait for 5000kms?

[jatt.zaildar]

@xulfiqar @ifadey Bohat Bohat shukria... Will look for those as well ..shukria.

Dear User ,
I was using Kixx 10W-40 for my car but recently it has been leaking engine oil (engine consumption) so the level is dropping. Had recently gotten head gaskit changed as well. But the mechanic recommended 20W-50 oil which I think is quite thick but many have suggested. Anyone who faced similar issue kindly let me know . Engine mileage 200k.

[hash4u]

Switch to 5w 30
Smooth drive fuel efficient longer drain interval

20w 50 weak engine fx mehran may dalta hai . Who made u use this

[pwuser15467761328]

actually bro i bought this car from my uncle and car is fully maintained, the engine oil has been changed and recommended from toyota dealership and i now recently bought it from him but when i checked the service history the car has been running from 50000kms til now i.e 95000km on toyota genuine engine oil 20w50. but i personally think that this oil is viscous as i live in punjab, now what im concerned about is will it effect the engine seals, bearings, valves etc when i switch to 10w30 petron plus toyota or im gona have no issue shiffting back to 10w30?

[jatt.zaildar]

AoA.
Is it wise to pour SGO 10w40 api SG oil in rebuilt Mehran (Carburetor) (6000 km driven since rebuilt)??
..
The initial breaking-in was done on Shell HX6 10w40 API SN for 1000 km, and then used HX5 10w40 SN for 4000+ km...
So, should I use Suzuki SG Oil or continue using HX5 or HX6 oil.?? And do I need ZDDP additive? (if i use SN oil)..
..

[pwuser15467761328]

i have toyota corolla grande 2018 model from 50k kms to 95k kms 20w50 has been used can i switch it back to 10w30 what are the pros and cons??? please guide

As salam o alaikum pakwheelers. I live in karachi. I have Honda BRV and honda city IDSI, i used to put havoline oil 5w30 and 10w30 in respective cars or other brands of oil and filter of le oppo, recently i planned to switch to all honda parts/oil, one of my neighbor said he deals in honda oil so i purchased oil and gear oil from him, filter from him, but i think is not original as daraz or different apps py alag oil ka box show ho raha hai , tried to check homda webiste but they didn't show the menu/picture of their products. Is it real or fake?? Or its of atlas brand? Honda or honda atlas are same thing ya alag alag h? Pls reply from authentic source/reason kyu kay parosi hai mjhe sound proof ky sath baat karni hogi. Thanks

[aliaamir0335]

you should buy from honda dealership or official honda parts store
these are not for cars.

[ifadey]

They are original but these are not the OEM honda lubricants. This is a side business of Atlas, not Honda Atlas. Atlas have multiple businesses like AGS batteries.
They have official store on daraz for atlas lubricants

https://www.daraz.pk/atlas-lubricants/?q=All-Products&langFlag=en&from=wangpu&lang=en&spm=a2a0e.store_hp.categoryBar_15390413.1

Atlas lubricants are blended by Shell Pakistan.
OEM honda lubricants are manufactured by idemitsu pakistan. Their gear oil and CVT fluid are imported from idemitsu indonesia
