I thought Mobil XHP was good. so are we to stop using it? And what happens if you suddenly switch from one spec of oil to another does it have effect on the engine? |

eeeeeee:before I can answer this question,I'll like to tell you that 20w/50,5w/30 etc talks about the viscosity of the oil,which means that it has to do with weather of the country. While the API of the lubricant deyermines the quality of the lubricant. 1 Like |

kolnel: I don't have the filter for yours or less your car uses then filter as Toyota corolla 03-08. O3-08 filter is that I have. I bought it from Amazon.com for my personal use. Your are recommended to use this oil with its filter or change any other filter insult for 2 to 3 times b4 the oil change. Because it's filter is 3 times capacity of other oil filter. |

I have enjoyed the discussion so far. The missing point is the meaning of 5W30 or 20w50. These numbers are SAE classifications. The nuber before the w is actually refers to the lowest ambient temperature that will be experienced in the year. So goes for the number after w. Car manufacturers do nt consider Nigeria in their statistics because we are not their primary market. We do not evpetiece cold temperatures in Nigeria do the 5W or 10W doesn't really apply. The key thing to check is the S classifixation. The current class is class SN. Another major factor is the kinematic viscosity of the oil. Lots of motorists purchase oil with obsolete class like SG, SF etc. This is not good class of oil for modern engines. If you use a 20w50 engine oil in New York during the winter, the oil will freeze up in the morning but 5W30 won't because of the 5W. Do also note that there are things to note in the 5W engine oils. Some are synthetic and some are semi-synthetic. Synthetic oils are lab engineered and have light ends that tend to evaporate during use. Other engine oils are made from Crude oil. We can talk about this for a long time. 3 Likes 1 Share

From the diagrams below weather temperature and engine temperature has a great role to play on the viscosity of oil u chose. 10w30 seems to be the best putting both temperature into consideration. Followed by 5w30 and 5w40 respectively. If u have a brand new car and sound engine use 5w30. learnt something here today

Where can I get 10W 40 for sale? That's the recommended oil for my motorbike, I have been using 20W 50 with no issues, but lately I have noticed reduced engine performance and more fuel consumption. I want to make the switch back at my next service. |

Please, which is the best engine oil rating for Honda Pilot 2003 model in Nigeria, a warm climate that is to say. The Oil cap says '5W-20', but this rec. is very rare to come by in Nigeria, and I realized that the '5W-20' is for temperate climes. I've come across the Mobil 20W-50, and Total 5w-40 before, but not sure which is the best for Pilot 2003. I shall be grateful if anyone can help. Thanks. |

Re: Why The Obsession With 20W50 Engine Oil? by Crixie(m): 2:59pm On Sep 03, 2016 |
I will always advocate the use of company specified oil ie the number written on the cap of the engine,We might want to say that the car companies don't have Nigerian weather in mind when manufacturing but remember we have cities with the same temperature as some " western" cities/countries ,some states over there even have hotter weathers than we have here in Naija and some cities like Jos and obudu etc can get very very cold .If you really wanna enjoy your car ,give it what it needs,what is recommended by the people that created it.Shekina !!!.. 1 Like 1 Share |
