    20w is too heavy. more tear yan sa engine startup.

    eto yung advised oil grade for 5K



    natural lang dark na yung 5K, kasi old na eh...

    5w30 or 10w30 ok na, masyadong thick yung 20w50 sir.

    oil viscosity yan bro.

    SAE number 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60. The higher the viscosity, the higher the SAE grade number is. These numbers are often referred to as the weight of a motor oil.
    kaya yong 20w thick na nga yan.

    you may want to replace your air filter element to a better one.

    dark oil could be caused by the engine sucking in too much dirt from the air. or a hidden sludge problem. you can try flushing muna, too.

    castrol's 20w 50 is fine. with the 5k's design, it could take any oil and be happy. kahit straight 40 pa. just be sure to change it often. 20w50 not very fuel efficient though. malapot kasi yun. yung petron rallye pwede, its 10w40.
