[Moderator]

New class of Engine OIL from PSO

Thank God they introduced API SP lubricant.

addinol

a German product not known in Pakistan. It must be landing in Pakistan via some Gulf dealer. Check from importer if it is bulk drum import repacked in chechawatni or wazriabad, locally (then stay away) or retail packing is imported (take the chance once). I'd suggest snap picture of packing with bar code and cross check from OEM

Dear experts please advice which one to choose between PSO 10w30 GF-5 SN vs Havoline 10w30 GF-5 SN Plus?

[bored]

Whichever cheap in price.

[helper_learner]

Whichever cheap in price.

But make sure you are getting original product.

[asghar1075.dev]

but isnt SN plus is better than SN?

[ifadey]

The only addition in SN Plus is protection against LSPI in turbo charged GDI engines. If you don't have GDI engine, then there's no benefit of SN Plus over SN.

[asghar1075.dev]

its not turbo charged but i thnk GDI as it injectors are directly connected to engine block and not intake manifold.

[ifadey]

Which vehicle do you have?

[asghar1075.dev]

Its vitz with 2SZFe engine.

[ifadey]

It's MPI based engine, not GDI

[asghar1075.dev]

Thank you very much for the clarification so then it will be safe to use PSO 10W30.

[ifadey]

Both are safe to use and SN Plus have no benefit over SN spec for non GDI engine

[asghar1075.dev]

Ok Thanks alot.

AoA Brother. Can i use 0w20 after using 5w30 for 160,000 km? No particular reason, just for the sake of experience.
I mean will this have any adverse effect on engine? (i dont want any additional wear tear).
Thank you..
** OR how about pouring 0w30 in the same engine (till 300,000+ km).

[capsat]

which car?

[jatt.zaildar]

Civic reborn.
