Caravan 5th Gear January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 Saw this SAE40 at a petrol station. Does anyone use this kind of engine oil nowadays? What are the pros and cons compared to say a 10W40? It's mineral oil though. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caravan 5th Gear January 5, 2007 Author Share January 5, 2007 But they should be suitable for our climate right? considering the lack of VI? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrari7 Neutral Newbie January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 Any oil is suitable for our climate, since we don't experience cold temperatures. Just tt straight weight oil will be mighty thick during a cold start. I don't recommend it unless you drive like a cabby - Start once in the morn, cover 500km, idle at breakfast, lunch time, dinner time, supper time and cut ignition in the wee hours of the morn. Then within hours start again . . . hahaha you get the drift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 No friction modifiers. Short trips, FE drop like a brick in water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raining Neutral Newbie January 7, 2007 Share January 7, 2007 ah agree with ur points... but u meant cab drivers dont care abt the FE ( which translate to higher running costs) I doubt so imho. Coz my uncle drives a cab, he is feeling lots of pressure from the cab rental and rising diesel. He did told me abt some of his fellow cab drivers go Msia pump perhaps many cabbies dont know much abt FE that I'll agree. think for my unc case he rather carry more passengers rather than moderating his right foot ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
