Salam guys,

Got one carby cultus that has been driven 200000+ kms. The engine has never been overhauled/repaired. Currently using 20w/50. It is driven on LPG.

There is no reduction in oil/white smoke.

I have heard of using Delo15w40.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

10w40 will be better
SGO Premium
Kixx gold SJ

I am sceptical of using 10w40 because the engine is old and it might eat up oil.

Wanted to give delo 15w40 a try, what are your thoughts on it?

delo is a good brand
the thing is this engine requires greater amount of zddp 1500ppm which is available in api sg and sj. sl has it reduced to 1200ppm. and further reduced to 800ppm in api Sn
you are stuck with SG or SJ
10w40 will relieve the hydraulic lifter more than 15w40 especially in winters.
if you want 15w40 make sure its sg or sj. zic has 15w40 in SJ
