What kind of engine oil should be used for Suzuki New Alto?
1 Answers
For the 1.0 engine of the New Alto, it is recommended to use engine oil with a viscosity of 5W-20 or 0W-20. The former viscosity is usually semi-synthetic oil, while the latter is mostly fully synthetic oil, which is relatively more expensive but offers better protection. Both viscosities are suitable. Here is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Under the condition of ensuring lubrication, choose lubricating oil with as low viscosity as possible based on the temperature range during use, engine temperature, and actual vehicle condition. For engines in good condition with minimal wear, lubricating oil with lower viscosity, such as 5W30, can be selected. For engines with severe wear and larger gaps, lubricating oil with slightly higher viscosity, such as SJ or SL grade oil, can be appropriately chosen. 2. SAE15W-40, SAE5W-40: The "W" stands for winter. The smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after the "W" (after the dash) indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance under high temperatures.
