You can use Shell Helix 20W-50 or Shell Helix Super 15W-40. Before selecting, please check the manual for a chart/table depicting the recommended grade for a particular ambient temp. You do not need to flush when changing from one brand of mineral oil to the other especially if you change engine oil regularly. Rgds, | |

Magnatec is the best oil you can get at that price. Used it in various family cars since 1997 including Esteems and my Dad's Palio 1.6 GTX. It is a so called semi synth and positioned between good quality mineral and synthetic from the price point of view. Rgds, | |

The other 2 are MAK classic 20W-50 API SG and Mak Elite 15W-40 API SJ. I think sumeet's M800 must have had fills of the Classic at the MASS. Regards, EDIT - Have not used MAK lubes either Last edited by R2D2 : 14th September 2009 at 21:29. Reason: PS | |

| BHPian  | ??? Help Needed!!  When I went for The First Service of My Maruti SX4 I asked the service adviser which engine oil would they put as I was expecting Idemitsu (read somewhere on Team-BHP) but to my surprise he said Mobil1 Fully Synthetic Grade: 0w-40. I questioned this, to which he replied that this is what Maruti recommends and it is because of the fully synthetic oil that the service intervals from the 3rd service onwards are for 10,000kms or 1 year (whichever is earlier). This sounded like a reasonable explanation. So I went ahead with it but it made my 1st FREE Service Quite Expensive. I ended up spending almost 7k thanks to the Mobil1 Fully-Synthetic and the under-body anti-rust coat. After the advice of a few fellow BHPians I came to the conclusion that I had been Duped. So I called up the service advisor at Rana Motors to find out about the oil. He now very politely states that the minimum required oil for the SX4 and GV as per Maruti is Mobil-1 semi-synthetic. But for best results Maruti recommends the use of Mobil-1 fully synthetic. To confirm this I called up another dealership in the vicinity by the name of JR Automobiles & to my surprise they also said the same thing, but being the inquisitive self that I am I called up another dealer: Apra. This one now claims that Maruti recommends Mobil-1 semi-synthetic and upon further enquiry about Mobil-1 fully-synthetic, I find out that the chap has absolutely no idea about it. Now the Problem / Dilemma / Heart-Ache My car vibrates at Idle (With & Without A/C) around the 600-800 rpm mark i.e. when the engine is warmed up. Also the tachometer needle flickers quite a bit at times, whenever the fan starts or switches off. Is the synthetic oil the reason for this or is it something else?? If not then will it damage my engine or hamper in the run-in process if I use Mobil1 (Fully Synthetic) from the 1st service?? If the need be I am willing to get an additional oil change done and go back to Idemitsu or whatever oil that would stop the vibrataions ?? Guys I am very  as the car is just 2 months old and close to 2800kms on the clock?? I would really appreciate if someone could through light on this.Last edited by maglev : 15th September 2009 at 00:55. |
