For engine oil. go for ZIC XQ, i am using it and found it to be excellent. Get from authorized dealer.You can use it for 10,000 kms with oil filter change at 5000.For the first time use for 5000, 2nd 7000 and onwards 10,000. Other oils you can use suzuki approved oils as per manual.Also i recommend to change the plugs to DENSO IK20 or NGKIFR6J11 iridium. They cost around 3500 but last for 20,000 kms and give good fuel economy and pick.

As for noise, i suggest you get the internal door panels opened of that door and get the screws inside tightened properly and the noise should go away. Authorized dealer should do it in warranty.Also report it to suzuki on their email and call center on official website.

ZIC XQ vs Suzuki Genuine oil any major difference or Just a Shashka????? I have around 14km daily mileage (working days only) and around 300km mileage a month so which oil should i use??????

Any oil is fine until its of the viscosity as recommended by manufacturer and also it should meet or exceed the oil specifications (API grading) recommended for Ur car . U can chose any brand of oil if u take care of wat is mentioned above

No need for tappet adjustments, have done 90,000 and no requirement, Don't get into this stuff.

Today i had the oil changed after 7000 km and also the spark plugs.

Two things i noticed:

1) It was my second oil change ever since i bought the car. First time exactly 3.0 litres of oil was poured into the engine. This time it was 2.9 and the level was in the mid on the dipstick.

2) The engine is built on PATHETIC WASTE SPARK TECHNOLOGY. just like baleno 1.3's engine. I am really sad to know this. Two spark plug cables provide power to 4 plugs. each plug spark works double then it should. the sparking of the engine takes double the energy than it is required. no wonder the car has a pathetic fuel economy (16.02 kmpl actual in my case till this day over 7000 km)
and no wonder the manual says that the spark plug should be replaced after 10,000km. now i agree.

First of all , you are getting an excellent fuel economy, as good as a honda city, secondly as mentioned in ur link, use iridiums and they can be used for 20,000 Kms. This system doesn't use much fuel, this must be clear to you and i have never experienced any issues due to this, so chill out.

@Sdogar i asked suzuki dealership about change of spark plug they said it will not have any effect on fuel consumption other than the life of spark plug itself u recommended Denso IK 20 Iridium . the dealership said why not platinum??????

These delaerships know nothing, ask them why Suzuki has mentioned iridiums as alternate plugs in the owner manual ? Also in my experience ZIC XQ is better, you can try the suzuki oil. In my experience in our city, delerships allow customers to be in workshop so i get everything done in front of me(that is why never experinced any issues in my car).You can ask them to be present at the time of oil change or look for some other dealer who allows.

Platinum plugs are for fuel economy. Iridiums are for better performance.

Interestingly, the best plugs are copper if u can change plugs regularly. Copper is the best conductor, but the issue is that copper plugs have a short life. 10k and you're done with them.

Platinum are the other extreme. They last above 100k kms and are fast becoming standard in many cars internationally. However, performance is nowhere near that of a copper plug.

Iridiums are good because they give performance much better than platinum but still nowhere near copper, and last around 80k to 100k kms.

This is where denso ik20 is something of a mismatch. The denso has a 0.4mm gap and life much lesser than a normal iridium plug. It sacrifices life for performance closer to a copper, for far longer than an ordinary copper but far lesser than ordinary iridums.

If u can manage, copper plugs changed regularly are the best option. Otherwise, ik20 is the best of both worlds.

The best ones are NGK IFR6J11 because they will last much longer than IK20 so if you can get them , go for them.
