Best explanation video! 👍 So many people don't know that the biggest engine wear occurs on cold starts, so it is super important to choose a low winter "W" viscosity oil (0W or 5W) even here in Europe, and especially with Diesel engines. 👀
I used only 10w30 Pennzoil all my vehicles from 0 miles to over 200,000 miles never a issue . From heavy duty trucks to corvettes out side temps from 26 degrees to 110 degrees . For years last truck was 16 years had it from new , work truck at that. oil changed every 3000 -4000 miles and filter. Sea Form and Pennzoil for years all with never a engine issue or burning oils , I don’t race though , if I did I would use then 5W 30 and change out way sooner ,that my ingredients for the “ Cake By The Ocean”
Very good demonstration,, I have a question I live in area temp reaches 50 c in summer and 35 c in winter I recently purchased volkswagen tiguan 1.4 tsi , label for oil on it recommend using sae 0w20 vw508 ,vw509 specifications So , is it suitable for this weather , or I should use thicker oil like , 0w30 ...or 5w30 ,,,5w40 ? Thank you hope you answer me
At the start of the video you mention the oil warning light ... on most cars ( should it come on ) a lot of damage has already been done ! ... so .... check your oil levels regularly , a MUST on older models ... if it comes on when the level is correct ( after a long hot drive ? ) , your oil pump MUST be replaced immediately ! .... but in this event a handy ( get you home trick ) is to put a SMALL amount of ( VERY thick ) gear oil ( SAE 80 / 90 / 140 ) into the engine , this will cancel the light and enable you to get to your dealer ( or motor parts department ) ... a ( tried - n - tested ) remedy .......... DAVE™ ................
It's pretty easy. Open the Owner's Manual and use the correct grade and quality recommended by the people who produced the vehicle. Close the manual = Done.
I'm in Canada in Alberta where minus 30° c and -40 happens if you're driving a diesel engine or a gasoline engine is it safe to use a 0w30 In gas or 0w 40 in the diesel year round
Thanks for the video. I have a 2016 LR discovery 4 sdv6, In cold start the oil pressure light comes on for like 2-3 seconds then goes off also there is a tapping sound same time. Any suggestions on this issue What oil should I use ? Currently on 5w30 castrol. Thanks Sahan
You don't have to change oils to different grades during different parts of the year you can use the same oil y'all year-round I usually they're 5W20 or 0w20 all year round I have never have any problem
The manual of my Suzuki Grand Vitara recommends the use of 5W30. Nevertheless, the very same user's manual provides a table with temperature ranges coverage of different types of engine oils. Therefore, I assume the real recommendation of the user manual is to choose an oil in accordance to your particular environment. For instance, I do live in Barcelona, where temperatures go from -5 to +40 degrees Celsius. So I understand it is for me better to choose a 10W40 oil (range between -20 and 40 degrees) than the 5W30 oil (range between -30 and 30 degrees) recommended in more general terms. Am I right?
My country is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter and my car manual the recommended oil is 5w-30, 10w,40 and 15w-50. Can i use the all range oil 5w-40 or 5w-50?
Use a viscosity chart online and use the oil that works best for the time of season. If it's really cold for months, use a 0w20 for those months, then when it's constantly hot use a 15w50 or what ever fits that temp...In either case, any full synthetic will offer the best protection. This guys video agrees with my statement.
Hello 👋 dear I have a question ❔ please Im living in iraq 🇮🇶 and I have scooter 125 cc Yamaha. Please answer my question. I use a scooter RAYZR125... I live in Iraq. I found that the manufacturer made recommendations to use viscosity oil 10w40. And here the weather is very hot. Is it useful to use this oil in temperatures up to 50 c ?
Every oil is different difects the best safer side use for cars over 5 years sae full synthetic oil high mileage , if you lived in high heat areas an oil is recommended 10-30 , use half 5-20 or just 20 0-20 for winter use 10-40 , or 15-40 , if is is 0w 20 then you use 0w-20 half the other half 5w-30 , never overfilled oil capacity ,

manufacturer specification is for all planet and most cases (or average) but IT IS NOT specific for your particular case, your particular case may prefer different grade!
Hmmm..? "-35 C never occures in Europe.."? Europe is actually a bit more/larger than France ...🧐 & Includes areas in the north where a winter temperature of -35 C is not all that unusual.. The last couple of days it has eaven been down to -43,5 C in parts of northern Sweden, which is very much part of Europe..🧐
If you are curious about the engineering principles of engine oil, ask Dr. Lubricants Engineering. I will help you choose the engine oil and let you know your questions about the oil! Sign up for the sub-redits below and leave a message. www.reddit.com/r/ThumbThroughCar/
Si votre Yaris est équipé d' un turbo, utilisez de la 5W30. Surtout en conduite urbaine (petits trajets de moins de 20 kms). La 15W40 est prévue pour les moteurs atmosphériques, sans turbo. Par contre, si vous n' avez rien d' autres sous la main, il vaut mieux une 15W40, qu' une vieille huile, ou pas d' huile du tout 😉.
If i'm looking for an oil! I will choose an oil with no friction modifiers for my engine! Then in hot country i will not put a thin oil. As i have worked as an automotive engineer for 40 years. A commom problem i find in diffs they usually put dextron 3. Dextron 3 is good inm Japan as it is cold. If i can separate the gear box oil from the dif oil i would put 80 90 oil in the dif! Very thin oils do not lubricate in very hot countries! I find the orbital shafts in most Japanes cars wear out at about 250000km! I am in the Gold Coast Australia and i would recommend 20 30 oil in that area!
@@user-yd1ml5iq8u 5w50 or 10w60 if those are expensive or unavailable use 0w40 or 5w40 or 10w40 or 10w50 you want the second number to be minimum 40 and the first number no more than 10 unless it is never below freezing cold if it's not you could use 20w50 or 15w50. Your temperatures are high for 40 but for example in Arizona USA most people do not have a problem running 5w40 and the temperatures are 45 Celsius as well. If it was my car I would use 5w40 minimum or better 5w50 or 10w50 even if you have some freezing days...10w60 is OK as well but those are less available so I would run 5w50 Redline or Mobil 1 5w50
Don't look at the recommended oil for your car! Go by the tempature of your country! I use Penrite oil as it doesn't have friction modifiers for my engine!
Just use the viscosity your dealer says or look at your oil filler cap.if your vehicle starts to leak a bit or use oil start using high mileage oil. The chemical in the oil reconditions the seals inside the engines
You couldn't be more wrong. That 5w20 on your cap is being forced by our corrupt government as a Cafe' standard for mpg. This video also proves your comment a mistake.
What makes you say that? API does matter, most gas cars need the SN license, diesel oil has too much zddp or zinc and supposedly will clog your catalytic converter.
First of all, the recommended grade is usually printed on the oil cap or on the dipstick. Possibly, there is a sticker somewhere in the vehicle which will tell you. Often, there is a sticker on the windshield from a shop oil change which will tell you what grade the shop put in. But seriously, would it be that hard to research what motor oil and other fluids you vehicle uses and put it a little book or on a page and keep it in your vehicle?
Every corporate oil guy screams only 0000000 oil! Even old 2000 high mile cars. Oil rings spraying oil into piston to burn. Stupid engine destroying green mandates!!!!!! All free thinking maintenance persons of high IQ run a slightly heavier oil and increase viscocity according to ambient temp driving as well as 100000 mileage usage. We old maintenence people never blow engines. We do not burn oil much at all. 250000 miles and clean driveways too. Experience rules if we are not stealership conned.

There's is ILSAC standards as well and the SAPS level as C1- C5 and it is confusing
Hi , 3:44 , what are saying , low viscosity ??????????????????? couldnt understand that part
Cold running causes wear, it's not about how long it takes to pump the oil through.
Too tight clearances make wear.
Please tell me the difference between a 10w40 and a 10w-40 ????? Iam seeking this answer like hell ??? I myself know a little but not sure!
Both are the same. Some write it 10W40 and some write it as 10W-40(It is not 10Wminus40)..
so at 2:50 the 0W oil is the more expensive one?
Every oil is different difects the best safer side use for cars over 5 years sae full synthetic oil high mileage , if you lived in high heat areas an oil is recommended 10-30 , use half 5-20 or just 20 0-20 for winter use 10-40 , or 15-40 , if is is 0w 20 then you use 0w-20 half the other half 5w-30 , never overfilled oil capacity ,
I try 5w-40 and I am going back to 5w-30. I see the difference now

Aye cooorl carrr man!! What is a Ferrari !! Maybes bmw I dunno
0W-0 is the best oil.
Water is the best oil
75w-100 is da' BESTEST'.
my owners manual and the engine oil cap itself for my TGDI says to use 0w-30.. but you most certainly wouldn't use 0w-30 on a track would you?
not unless you want the engine to die way sooner then it needs too
No. Race cars use thicker oil because of the heat
I live in southern California and my honda Odyssey recommend 5w20, i have some 10w30 mobil 1 left, can i use 10w30
No. Don't go above 5w
You cant change the second number! It must be 20. But it’s your engine your money
You can. The suitability will depend on API/ACEA requirement.
I use and mix any left over oils used by my families cars. 5/10w and 30/40. Never had a problem

10w is thicker than 0w? I thought 10w is thinner than 0w at -10C and the bigger the number W number, the better it can perform at lower temperature?
lower is W the thinner it is, at cold start, 0 is smallest
