Exclamation

Guys ... Maruti Sepcifies API CG or Above. I tried MoBil Delvac Super 1300 API CJ+ - The latest in Diesel Engine Oil Specification. Called up Marketing head of Mobil - who gave a contact of dealer at Sewree.... who hand-delivered the 5 Litre oil @ 750 MRP 965. The Service Engineers at Seva Maruti goofed up and put in 3.5 L instead of 3.0 L. Had to take the car to local Garage to remove the excess engine oil.

Swift DDiS has Exhaust Gas Recirculation.... which lead higher running temperatures and more soot. Engine Oil which effectively handle these are API CI and above. Running the DDiS on synthetic (designed for Petrol engines) may harm the engine after few thousand km runin.
