Was in the same boat as you. Last week I availed basic service from pitshop app and the expierience was pretty decent. I paid around, 3.5 k for oil ( Shell helix ) + oil filter change as well as air filter cleaning. It's a doorstep service. They come with a vehicle with all the tools and accessories. PS :- The oils used was Shell helix 10-40 ( not 5-30 ). |

Does 3.5K include cost of engine oil? Usually, these doorstep service providers provide semi-synthetic oils and seems you got synthetic oil. Also, are they NOT supposed to change the air filter? |

My knowledge on oils may not be so good. My thought was, as I live in Bangalore, I might be OK with 10w as the temperature never falls that low. Please correct me if I am wrong here. |

That gives the basics but in general if a car manufacturer says use a different grade of oil at different temperature in the manual then do so. Don’t change to a heavier oil grade on your own accord. |

Some manufacturer recommends 5w-30 grade engine oil for their cars. But I am confused that how is this applicable to two different cars with the same engine but operating in two different locations, say one in Leh-Laddakh and another in Rajashtan. |

People use the same 0w20 in Alaska as well as in the Arizona desert, in the USA. Don’t worry - the temperature of your engine is rather different from the temperature found in the local climate. |

Ok. Thanks. I asked that question because 5w-30 engine oil of my Honda Amaze diesel is getting thinner in just 7K Km. In the past three years I have tried veedol, valvoline and Idemitsu. Should I try 5w-40 or 10w-40? |

My first generation Amaze that I sold in 2018 ran happily on 5w40 a3b4 (shell helix ultra) and the manual asked for 5w40. Honda has much the same iVtec / iDtec engine in later generations of Amaze but keeps tinkering with the oil spec. Pour Shell Helix Ultra and enjoy life. |

Greetings, I own Baleno 1.3 DDiS (2016) and is due for it's 120k service. The manual says the recommended engine oil is A5/B5 5w30. But post completion of 40k service, the MASS have been using MGDO 5w40 (a/b spec not known) saying it's semi-synthetic and costs around Rs.1400. |

Plenty of synthetic 5w30 oils around in a5b5 Buy whatever suits your pocket and change oil frequently - maybe a bit earlier than the change interval if you have high running in the city besides highway driving. |
