Engine oil concerns. Do I need to change my oil immediately?

[Egan101]

this is a three-year old car.
i am wondering, what type oil has it been using before?
does casa have the requisite 0W-20 oil?
is it possible, the car has already been on a more viscous grade of oil even before?

If it was serviced thru dealerships within its warranty period, it will surely be using the 0w20 FS oil. Honda dealerships use three types of oil - 0w20 synthetic, 5w30 synthetic blend, 10w30 mineral.

This 0w20 oil has been used by Honda for more than 12 years now. Back then, the only synthetic oil available was the 5w40 VTEC LEV and it was phased out in favor of the greener 0w20 FS oil.

ok lang ba sa mga Honda City CVT na 15W40 Synthetic/Fully synthetic ang gamitin kahit kung nakasulat sa manual ay 10w30?

Fully synthetic na 15w40? Parang di totoo.

Just stick with 0w20 or 5w30 or 5w40 fully synthetic or 10w30 mineral oil for your Honda. Kaya nga sinulat sa manual yan para sundin.

For diesels you should drive away slowly maybe after 20 seconds from starting. Diesels will take a long time to reach operating temps if you just leave it in idle from a cold start. That could cause a lot more fuel dilution because the rings haven't fully expanded yet.

If you have a gas engine with CVT, I would wait until the idle RPM goes down to the normal level when warm because that is what most user manuals recommend. Putting it in drive at a higher RPM might affect the CVT's longevity.

I have a turbo gas vehicle with CVT. I usually wait for the blue light indicator to turn off before driving off. It takes a kilometer for me to enter Sucat road and another 4 kilometers before entering SLEX. By then, I go pedal to the metal all the way before exiting at C5.

usually mga ilan minutes inaabot mo sa CVT bago bumaba ang idle RPM?

That CVT is probably the most durable one hehe. Saw a cutaway of that in an advert once.

Not long, maybe over 1 minute lang. 2 minutes max. Kita mo naman kung bumaba na yung RPM. Gas engines tumataas talaga RPM pag cold start para mabilis mag warm up.

Different for diesel kasi napakalean ng fuel mixture at idle/no load.

Not all CVTs can handle big amounts of torque (350Nm) at low rpms but Subaru is the only one to offer it for the FXT, WRX, Outback, and Ascent.

Pakiclarify yung sa diesel engine, you mean hindi na kailangan yung mataas na RPM at the start?

Depende sa kotse yan kaya kelangan mo observe.

Can anybody confirm this also, that the CVT might be affected if you suddenly go high RPM after your first start of the day? How about the ordinary Automatic Transmissions, is this also a no-no? Sorry, sugod na lang kasi ako ng sugod kapag nagdidrive e hehe

that's BS CVT isn't directly-coupled to the engine. meron pa yan torque converter or cluctch packs

Well, gee. I guess the manufacturer just put that in the manual for kicks. 🙂

I've been using 0W-20 the whole duration of the warranty. Honda has their own 0W-20 oil.

Pag start ninyo ng engine then magsuot ng seatbelt turn on A/C pwede na kayo umalis huwag na painit ng makina.

Hinde kayo mga lumang tao para gawin yan. Baka pati yun pa tapat ng gas bago off engine ginagawa din?

Yung cool down bago patayin sa mga turbo cars lang.

Pero pag Hindd naman hinataw pwede na din hinde basta normal driving lang few kms away from home siguro.

Oo, just take it easy on the last few kms.

Kung short drive lang, puwede naman. However, a half minute of idle before turning it off wouldn’t be a big hassle.

Pero kung galing long drive, give it 2 minutes to let the engine idle before turning off.

Better be safe than sorry. It will be a head ache if you break your turbocharger.

Di ako puwede humataw sa loob ng subdivision, bro. Hehehe

Probably because a 30 minute oil change elsewhere takes more than half a day at the casa.
