I use motul specific fully synthetic with that viscosity rating in my strada. The engine is quieter and i can feel the quicker response compared to mineral oil. Also, this was approved by the casa (my vehicle is still under warranty) so I suppose it is suitable here in the philippines

Depende.. Kung bago ang sasakyan mo at ginamitan mo ng 5w-40 void ang warranty mo diyan, pero kung wala pwede na rin. In a hot country like Phils. mas maganda kung gamitan mo 15w-40 dahil yan ang karaniwang oil ng diesel engine. Do not confuse between gas engine oil and a diesel oil.
