March 22nd, 2006 12:40 PM #3Ok lang yung 20w-50, pero based on my personal experience mas matipid sa gas kapag 0w/5w/10w (less friction i guess). Nung naka 0w-30 ako umaabot ng 8.5-9km/l. Ngayon 8km/l lang sa 20w-50. Pero umabot ako ng 9.1km/l 85% highway driving.

20w is heavy... for older 1.6s, I'd recommend 10w or 15w... 0w and 5w only if it's a high performance car, but at 0w, it might be thin enough to leak past the oil rings if its an old or abused car.

what happens if its too thick?
are you refering to the fully synthetic one ba?
10w and the 15w are the semi synthetic ones?

No damage, if it's just 20w... but the engine will be a bit sluggish, and fuel consumption will increase.

so which oil variant do you recommend for the thread starter's car?
are we talking about the viscousity of the fully against the semi-synthetic oils ba?
naguguluhan ako

Thicker oils are needed for older engines to protect the parts better. VTEC engines are really durable, even when abused like forgetting to change oil on time, overdriving, etc. They still work like new even after a number of years, so they probably won't need thick oils just yet.
If you maintain your car well, 15W-40 or thinner oils are ideal. But if 20W-50 was already placed, there should really be no problem. Just replace it every 4-5K.Last edited by squala; March 22nd, 2006 at 04:14 PM.
