Oil for swift

[anon35615524]

YES. All are recommended viscosity grades.

[anon35615524]

5w30 or 5w40

10w40

5w40 seems fine

I am personally of the opinion that for Japanese brands, 5w-30 and 10w-30 are fine.

0w-40 and 5w-40 seem more inclined towards European brands.

[anon35615524]

You may use 5w-30. No harm.

[anon35615524]

5w-30.

Yes, because 5w40 is not available in all brands easily and there are not too many choices out there, some swift onwers are using valvoline syn power 5w40 and liquimoly leichtlauf 5w40
Tho 5w30 works fine and also easily available

Used Shell 5w30 in my Liana till it was driven around 170k kms and then sold it off, engine was still in great nick, it used to return good mileage too. Liana had similar m13 engine as you have in your swift. Use any brands 5w30 oil and you are good to go, though I would suggest you to but a local brand like shell or total, do not fall into trap of buying expensive oils. 5w30 for all seasons along with genuine oil filter.

okay thanks everyone i’ll switch to 5w30 in my next oil change at 30k , and changing to a thinner oil from 10w40 won’t be a problem on high revs right ?

no, it won't be a problem. In fact, according to Xulfiqar (the legend on Pakwheels), thinner oil will flow better inside the engine, hence dissipate heat more quickly which of course is better for engine health.

Indeed that would be quite a wise decision, and right move. IN SHA ALLAH. Best of luck!

[anon35615524]

In your particular case, I think NO. IN SHA ALLAH there won't be any issues after switching to 5w-30 fully synthetic by Total, i.e. Total Quartz 9000 Future series 5w-30.

[anon35615524]

i’ll try 5w30

That would indeed be a great decision IN SHA ALLAH.

one more thing , i’m currently getting 14 km/l on SGO 10w40 , will changing the oil have a negative or positive effect on avg ?

[anon35615524]

I believe, your fuel efficiency will definitely increase and will have a positive affect on avg.

However slight it may be, but will be there.
