I change PSO 5W30 SN on 5K, price Rs. 3360 fr 4 Ltr pack.

[rehanaeem]

Suzuki 5W30, SOGO, 3L , I think it's price is also around Rs. 3K . People have mentioned PSO Oil. Its 4 Ltr and Wagon R requires 3, wonder what they do with the left over ?

[htb456]

Best engine oil for wagon R is 0w20, it is also recommended by manufacturers in the owner`s manual

How much milage you get on 0W20 ? And is a thinner oil better in the long run ? Moreover, whats the oil chaning frequency for 0W20 ?

I also bought Wagon R kast month, model 2007 imported 2013. It has automatic transmission and there's also a turbo option (the knob on the gear handle that, if pressed, increases the acceleration and a sign shows on the dash meter that reads as O/D off). I have 2 queries to ask:
1. It gives me the mileage of 14km/l in the city, and on the motorway with 120km/h speed it drops to 11km/l. Is it too low for this model? And how can i increase the mileage? Some people suggest me to do the turning of engine. Would that be helpful for it?
2. Should i always put the O/D sign on or off on dash board? Does it effect the mileage in anyway?

@basitali87 explain turbo

[Vaqas1]

That option is not a turbo. Over drive changes gear ratios to give you better avg or acceleration in some cases. This option use to come in older auto transmissions.

At 120 kpmh on motorway you are already over stretching the tiny 660cc so that avg is ok. Keep it around 90 to 100kmph for better avg.

Local average is good considering its not a CVT transmission.

[anon35615524]

there's also a turbo option

Its not a Turbo option, rather that button is for "Over Drive" O/D Mode.

Overdrive is the operation of an automobile cruising at sustained speed with reduced engine revolutions per minute (RPM), leading to better fuel consumption, lower noise, and lower wear.

Overdrive allows the engine to operate at a lower RPM for a given road speed. This allows the vehicle to achieve better fuel efficiency, and often quieter operation on the highway. When it is switched on, an automatic transmission can shift into overdrive mode after a certain speed is reached.

When it is off, the automatic transmission shifting is limited to the lower gears.

Overdrive should usually be selected when the average speed is above 70 km/h.

Should i always put the O/D sign on or off on dash board? Does it effect the mileage in anyway?

OD Mode may be preferably used on highways, when speed is 65~70 kmph or more.

And how can i increase the mileage?

Use recommended engine oil grade and genuine air + oil filters, clean / replace air filter when dirty, have the throttle body, spark plugs and fuel injectors clean (replace plugs if past their effective service life).

Keep tyre pressure as recommended by the OEM. Avoid using extremely wide and big tyres.

Let go of any additional weight in car (boot / Diggi, etc.)

Use fuel from good and reputed fuel stations, and ensure that fuel lid is good and gets tightly closed.

I hope, by following above steps, your fuel efficiency might become better. Thank you.

i am getting 18+ fuel avg.... after 5000km i am changing

[aqeel]

Well it depends on multiple factors, like, the City you drive in, the way you drive, fuel you use etc.
I have been driving WagonR since Mar 2018 and I have 35000KM on my odometer. Here are some stats:
1. Driving with in Lahore with A/C in summer: 11~13 km/l
2. Driving with in Lahore without A/C in summer: 12~14 km/l
3. Driving with in Lahore in winter: 12~14 km/l
4. Driving on Motorways between Lahore and Islamabad: 14~15 km/l
5. Driving on G.T. Road between Lahore and Islamabad: 15~17 km/l

I have tried multiple things to improve the mileage like driving slow, not accelerating fast etc. but nothing helps to improve the average.

[khurramsml]

check some points

throtal body cleaning
spark plug change
Clean Oxygen senser
clean catyletic cylender
clean air filter after 1000KM
Use fully synthatic oil 0w-20

Drive car in high gear at 2000-2200rpm.
Change gear early. No need to use hi octane fuel. Try to maintain speed wrt road condituon. For example no need to press gas pedal hard to maintain 100kmph speef if climbing and next movement road is going down.
No hard braking.
