honda civic 1.8 2007. default is to use 5w-30, cos almost everyone is using that. not bad, nothing fantastic to talk abt - not good not bad. at that time, car engine also new, so a bit rough (engine block fresh cut from factory) is to be expected.

 

after a year or two, i discover my colleague, due to save petrol, uses 5w-20. i think why not, so use.

 

wow. much better. smooth.

 

people say, as cars get older, use thicker oil, like 5w-40 or 5w-50 as gaps in engine grow.

bec of this, every now and then, i switch back to 5w-30. yucks. next round, i go back to 5w-20. shiok.

 

i use redline since day 1. everyone say motul is better, but i doubt it is worth the cost difference. my 2 cents.

using amsoil asm 0w20 for past 6 yrs

Redline is ester oil so the 5W-20

 

gives as much protection as other normal

 

5W-30 oils.

Engine will be noise and not suitable for long distance driving.

Redline 5W-20 !! BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wah, use so thin oil? Mileage how much? If high mileage better use thicker, I think.

so long as your car does not consume engine oil, w20 oil can be used without any issues.

I have been using 0w20, 5w20, 5w30 on current car since day one. Last oil change at 69000km, I used 0w20.. So far no engine oil consumption problem. My manual spec specifies 5w30 as minimum though. The car is a 1.5l japanese non turbo car.

 

Just to state, for the previous w20 oil, they are Redline, Amsoil and current 0w20 is Renewable Lube. I didn't use Motul or Mobil.

U not using this grade on a performance vehicle aren't u?

[Pureness]

for anybody who is interested to try, my advise is to drop by 1 grade intervals

so from 40 go to 30 then finally to 20

what car u driving? consult yr driver manual to see if 5w-20 is suitable

if yr car got forced induction, then 5w-20 is too thin. If NA, still ok
