Too thick for engine oil, but good for Manual Transmission.

What would be the recommended type of engine oil?

huh? i believe that 15w and 20w are regular thickness for engine oils, thinner oils are are used for increased performance.

The max viscosity that you want to put in your engine is 30W. Most 4X4 tranny and differential oil uses 70 - 90W oil, and front wheel drive manual tranny uses 50 - 60W oil. The best multi grade that you can buy in the is 5 - 30W, and mobil 1 got one that you don't have to change oil up to 15,000 miles. But, that would be really gambling with a very expensive investment. I'm using Mobil 1, 5 - 30W, 7500 miles oil.

Teka, bat napunta sa tranny? Engine oil ang pinaguusapan?

15W-50 is well suited for your vehicle. I would also suggest considering Mobil 1 5W-50. Other than that check your car manual for the recommended oil. For my vehicle 20W-50 is the recommended viscosity, so thats what I used on my last oil change.

I use Mobil 20w-50 engin oil, and have it changed every 5000kms. 20w-50 0r 15w-50 as indicated in the manual.

The Mobil1 SuperSyn 15W-50 and/or Mobil 1 5W-50 that chis_d suggested, should work well with your car.
