Mauricio Pelissari Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have seen other posts in the forum about oil changes and type... there are some outstanding questions, which also i would like to know? Here in Brazil... it is not quite easy to find Mobil 1 5w20 oil or similar, normally you would have to buy from another state within the country and wait quite while in delivery, the previous owner was using 5w30, we have quite a hot weather, so the question is? manual states to use 5w20 but also states that is also for cold climate and cold starts, since i'm in a hot climate how would this affect? is it ok to use 5w30 or in the next oil change i have to go back to 5w20? 1 liter of Mobil 1 5w20 cost around 28 dollars...here without delivery...

Journey_SeXT Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) In a hot climate it is better to use the 5w30 as it makes for better lubrication than the 5W20. Stick with 5W30 and you'll be fine. Edited September 17, 2014 by Journey_SeXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
