Check your vehicle’s handbook for the minimum oil quality specification and viscosity grade; but you may wish to choose a better one. Choosing the right oil depends on;
Car type – a high performance car needs higher performance oil
Car age –engines are constantly improving with newer ones giving a high performance with better fuel efficiency. Advanced oils have been developed to help keep up with these increased engineering demands.
Driving environment – None of us are keen on stop-start traffic, and neither is your engine. Using the higher quality oils available will help prevent the onset of engine wear and tear.
When you look into the owner’s manual, you will see it written there. Read your owner’s manual or look for the oil /710 cap on the motor. It may have the correct weight of oil you need. Don’t use cheap oil. Use 100% synthetic oil. Full synthetic rating is not 100%. I recommend Amsoil OE, XL or the best is Signature series. All 100% authentic.
