What's the difference between both these oils? I'm nearing my 2nd oil change. Should i go for any one of these or go for shell?

"Any body knows the difference"

The difference is as follows:

Ultimate is an API SM grade, where as the Premium is an API SG grade.
There's a rule in reading lubricant specs and what they mean in layman terms.
API grades starting with "S" means SPARK which is the main characteristic of a PETROL engine!!! API grades starting with a "C" means COMBUSTION which is the main characteristic of a DIESEL engine.....
NOW, stating it very clearly that both these are meant primarily for PETROL engines!
How you read these grades is fairly simple. The higher the alphabet goes on the alphabet table, the better the quality of specs and additives or base oil it is blended from. therefore, SM is much superior than SG !!!!!!!!!!!!
Coming down to the viscosity index, where here is 10w40: this means that between what temperatures on the viscosity table can the lubricant hold it's true properties to clean, prevent and protect. Both being the same here in this case we'll just have to see the API specs alone to determine which one's better.

Hence: the conclusion one can derive from this long lecture is SGO ULTIMATE (SM 10w-40) is far better than SGO PREMIUM (SG 10w-40)!

also, selecting your lubricants be it shell's or PSO's or Caltex's - one should know as to what the engine specs are and what the OEM recommendations are with respect to the API grades and viscosity - so select your lubricant's accordingly.

Whenever I rev my car to red line the cabin gets filled with a burning smell, burning plastic or something like that.
Does it happen with every swift?
ANyone knows the reason?

Same thing happens here. It's not that I rev very often but hard accelration in 1-2-3 upshift @ 4000-5000 rpm fills the cabin with a slightly odd (buring like) odor.

Better get it checked. I have no burning smell in the car at red line.
What oils are u guys using..Just curious??

Great information..thanx.....But i am still a little confused about manufacturers recommendations. I am using Mobil 1 for bother By swift and Belta. What do u think??

Im using the oil provided by Suzuki dealership.
What year is your car?
My friend has a 2010 swift, there is no such smell in his car

I once read somewhere on PW its the smell caused by the catalytic converter present in newer cars. Is that true?

bro if you can tell me which variant of Mobil 1 your'e using, only then i can suggest if its okay or any change is required?
What does the manuals of both these vehicle recommend (API grade and viscocity)?

It's everything the manufacturer suggests. The car recently got its 10K km service. Let's see whether it continues or not.

A minor correction. C in diesel oil is fro compression. As diesel engine is compression ignition and combustion engine and not spark based like petrol. I wish we had diesel variant of swift here, because such a hatchback with a gutsy diesel is extra hot in my opinion.

Never felt this smell. My car is also 2010.I m using ZICXQ,5W40.

Guys anu idea where could i find this LCD

Guys anu idea where could i find this LCD

I think this is again chinese and available easily in the market for 18k.

Suzuki will now launch Swift with Navigation and DVD (similar unit) in its Automatic variant from March. DLX will still have the Alpine unit.

[FarhanAnwarKhan]

Bro dont go for it i have checked it its pathetic even the rockmars older model is better than it....

[HNaseer]

bump... where is everybody ?

[devilslayer]

@all swift owners,
the fuel avg of my swift is dimisnishing day by day... I mean it use to give 13kmpl sometime back bt nw it hardly gives max of 10kmpl wid a very light foot... I have also changed the plugs to irridium tip IK 20 and Engine oil i am using is Caltex 5W40 Fully synthetic.

So please advise wat to do to increase the fuel avg??

[Oblivion]

I was getting 7 to 8 earlier but since the last 3 fill ups and a thorough check of the car it's giving 12 in the city and 16 on long

Check the fuel. The number one cause of engine knock and poor mileage. If possible, switch to HOBC completely.
