NEVER CHANGE YOUR CAR'S OIL GRADE / OIL WEIGHT
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 07. 2024
- A detailed explanation about why is not a good idea to change the engine oil grade or oil weight of your car , how oil and oil pressure works and what can be the dis-advantages of changing the oil grade over short and long periods of time . There are few essential things to keep in mind like oil pressure and the thickness of the lubricating film created by that oil around the moving components inside the engine

Awesome bro, I like this new educational series!
My car came without the manual and i was using 10w40 mineral oil uptil 100k milage now i read it online in the user manual that 0w20 fully synthetic oil is recommended now my question is that can i do an engine flush and switch to 5w30 or that wont be possible anymore?
Wonderful and very informative videos as usual. I have a polo 2013 TDI Highline, can I replace my headlight assembly with the double-barrel ones in the new-gen polo? Do you recommend the after-market projector ones? I am not sure about the quality. The stock ones on my vehicle are pathetic for nighttime driving.
Sir if you want to have proper usable light on road the OEM double barrel lamps are the best for that , aftermarket lights are mostly cosmetic and usability of the light is questionable .
And if you want to swap for OEM , as far as i know its a direct plug and play with just 1 wire which needs to be adjusted .
@@yourDIYneeds thanks for your advise. I am more in favour of usability than looks. Is there any video which shows how to do it. I don’t want to mess with the wiring. And if it’s DIY it’s better. Here in Gwalior it’s difficult to get it done even at service centre. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏻
Sir i don't have the video , but can share wiring schematic with you , please drop a mail on everydaydiyhelp@gmail.com
Very helpful
I have a polo 1.2 TDI December 2011 model , always serviced at authorised service centre with company approved oils. Now the car has done 165k kms and drives like a dream. Should i try any other better oil or keep sticking to the VW Special D 5w40?
Or should i try Liqui Moly Toptec 4100 5w40
Or
Amsoil 5w40 European spec red cap bottle
Sir liqui moly
Talked correctly about the pressure but there's a minor hiccup. Both would work fine for a given temperature, the upper limit would widely vary at higher temps. So I think both perform similarly given the temperatures. Thus, your argument is kind of dependent on temperature as the w40 or w30 means the optimal flow and viscosity rate of that particular oil at its highest operating temperature. So technically you can use 5w30, given you live in a cool temperature area.
Sir i mentioned that as well , ( when i said " 5w30 is ok till 30 , but the real problem starts when it starts to reach 31-40" )

Hi need ur assistance, i have vw polo 1.5 tdi 2016 facing very weird issue
After driving 100 kms glow plug signs come up and turbo drops
When ignition re started its again back yo normal and runs fine below 85 kms
But again same issue if speed increased
I showed the same to one of my mechnc near my home
And he confirmed n95 issue got it replaced still issue not resolved
Sir considering that on 85kmph the engine speed is close to 15-1600 rpm , exactly the range from where the turbo is supposed to spool
Just check the turbo charge pressure lines and hoses for any leaks ( intercooler as well )
MIL is showing up due to difference between the specified value and actual value ( what ECU is expecting and what its getting )
Hope it helps
Are you only referring to TDI's /TSI's? Does this apply for the 1.6 MPI? Btw, finding the owners manual for the Vento is hard and when i finally downloaded one, it was for vento and polo and it doesn't particularly say if it's for tdi or tsi or mpi.
Sir this things applies to every engine , regardless of manufacturer and technology

on the owners manual of rapid 1.6TDI CLNA engine it states to use VW507 engine oil i.e. 5W30 grade, but the Authrised service center use 5W40 VW505 01 oil. what do you say about this?
For india it’s better to use 5w40 or 0w40 as it performs well in hot temperatures, 5w30 better for colder European weather !!! 5w30 0w30 5w40 and 0w40 all suitable for VW TDIs
Sir thats because there are very few oils , which are 5w40 and have a approval of vw507 , most of vw507 oils are 5w30 , and those manuals are almost carried from their European counterparts
Sir, as far as I know, there are no 5w40 oils with VW 507 00 approval. All VW 507 00 oils are 5w30. VW 507 00 supercedes 505.01. As per Lubrizol relative performance comparison tool, VW 507 00 seems to be highly demanding when it comes to wear protection, sludge , oxidation, deposits etc. So I think VW 507 00 will have better additive package in it.
Sir, would you be able to do a video explaining the vacuum system in Tdi engines when you have a chance?
Will do it sir.
Yes 507 surpasses the vw505.01 but the older tdi engines are designed for 5w40 ,
Tolerances and clearensis are designed keeping the viscosity of oil in mind .
Engine which has t
5w40 will have more clearance in between ( crank and con-rod , cam and cam-seats )
As compared to an oil which is 0w16
hello sir i have mahindra kuv100 nxt petrol. as per user manual company recomened 15W40 however this grade is used in diesel engines generally so should i use 15W40 in petrol?

Which is best OIL GRADE for 2014 RAPID 1.6TDI. Manual shows 5W30 (VW.507) but Iam not sure 5W30 grade is best for Indian hot climate. How is Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 as Iam planning to get this oil for my next oil change.

Hello sir,
Sir which oil grade is Suitable for (2006) Swift petrol+ C.N.G ??
Sir as far as i know swift takes 5w30 but after CNG , there is kind of a doubt , as it was never designed for CNG
@@yourDIYneeds ok sir thanks for helping me..
Sir if possible please help me..thanks.
Swift petrol these days comes with 0w16 and earlier it was 5w30. Hence both should work. 0w16 will give you better fuel economy.
The earlier engine was designed to run on 5w30 not 0w16 , so i would never advise that , if you want a proof , then give your car to service centre for oil change and check the bill afterwards , it will be clearly mentioned 5w30 , earlier swift had a k12 engine but now its a newer alteration which runs on 0w16
@@yourDIYneeds The earlier K series engine (UPTO 2011/12) require a 5W30 grade Engine oil. But later on, Maruti modified the engine to use low friction pistons, rings and bearings. Thus the later cars came with a 0W20 recommendation which again in 2017 was changed to 0W16. 0W16 will cause unecessary stress on the engine components. If your manual recommends 5W30, you can switch to 5W40 but nothing greater than that. 0W16 will cause severe engine damage. If you want better mileage, the best you can do is to buy a ACEA A5/B5 certified engine oil. If will make sure you get better mileage and stick to your company's recommended grade, since it is a thinner oil than normal 5W30. Also switch to fully synthetic.
Sir as you told about not to change oil grade but what about their specifications as ecosport diesel has recommended 5w30 a5/b5 which amsoil signature 5w30 red can one fulfill and i want to use toptec 4200 5w30 which has acea c3 can i use toptec 4200 5w30 acea c3 over amsoil 5w30 a5/b5 or shouldnt i?
Please reply
No sir , very first thing to look for is the grade , then the approval , oils without the approval can be used in a situation where nothing is available but for best performance approval is must
@@yourDIYneeds so using toptec 4200 5w30 will harm engine or affect mileage? If yes then by how much approx thanx in advance
No sir , its not going to harm the engine , the only thing is that the engine will not be able to perform absolutely best it can with the approved oil . But in long run like 200 thousand kms its effects will be observable
My car came without the manual and i was using 10w40 mineral oil uptil 100k milage now i read it online in the user manual that 0w20 fully synthetic oil is recommended now my question is that can i do an engine flush and switch to 5w30 or that wont be possible anymore?

Your suggestion for the same or any other brand oil recommendation.
I'm your long time subscriber i used to own polo tdi in which you suggest me for meguin engine oil it was just fantastic oil in terms of refinement of engine .
Sir Hyundai usually designs their engines for 5w30 , so using 5w40 is not an option
And they require pretty much basic approvals , nothing special , so any good brand in 5w30 will work good ,
My recommendation , you can go for shell
And if budget is not a constraint then go for toptech 4200

Give different brands oil with vw specification

What about the VW 504/507 oil grade? That oil is only available in 5w30 viscosity. Both Liqui moly and Amsoil are a providing that viscosity in 5W30.
Sir yes 504/507 approval are available mostly in 5w30 because both the approval and the engine for which those approval are made , are relatively new , almost every new vehicle is coming now with 5w30 and there also are vehicles which are using 0w16
@@yourDIYneeds So I think in your video it should be concluded that any other 'XYZ' 5w30 oil which does not meets the VW specifications should not be used in VAG cars, that 5w30 oils are harmful for TDI/TSI engines, not the approved VW 5w30 oils. Generally the 5w30 oils are used for extended drain intervals (30k Kms) in the Europe, but in the Indian weather and stop go traffic it is not suitable. So we should stick to the 15k or 1 year criteria.
The newer gen EVO TSI engines now require 0W20 oils and that only provides VW OEM oil and in aftermarket only the Liqui Moly.
@@NavjotSingh-zi5jl What he meant was, if your manual suggests 5W40, then don't go for 5W30. Nowhere did he mentioned about the VW standards. It is best to use oils that come with VW specifications, but if you cannot find them, any good oil with same grade should do. But make sure to change the oil earlier than specified in the manual. I've known a person, who didn't used VW specified oils for his VW TDI and yet his car runs perfectly at 1,00,000 kms. What he did was, changed his oil before the manual recommended interval and he sticked to 5W40 grade oil.
Sir exactly , an oil without approval will work ( no approval means , that specific oil doesn't have all the required additive package which is required by engine to perform its best )
And this video was not just for VW owners it was meant for everyone , so thats why i didn't mention any approval or comparison of India vs european intervals . The whole crux was , if you have a vehicle which is like 5-6 yrs old and uses 5w30 or 5w40 and you want to switch to 0w20 , its not a good Idea , because your engine is not designed for it .
I used 5w30 and 5w40 as just examples.
@@yourDIYneeds Yes sir that's not a good idea to change the viscosity grade of oil.

Hi , I have a Creta 1.6 diesel manual , owner refers 5w30 and acea a3/b4 , toptec 4100 or 4200 which should I go , and my car approval is acea a3/b4 is it ok to put acea c3 please answer .
Toptec is acea c3:)
Sir toptec is available in 5w40 and your car needs 5w30 as it's designed for that , after getting a proper warm up you may experience a little bit of sluggishness . A good oil fir 5w30 grade is zic x7 5w30 and they are also the OEM supplier to hyundai ( as far as my knowledge goes ) and it also got the approval , and i have tested it on a different vehicles and its good .
@yourDIYneeds toptec avaible in 5w30 also 4200? I was using shell full synthetic before , need a better oil

15w40

Ji sir , mere cousin ke paas hai wo ab
So ideally for an engine rated xWy, you can go lower on x and higher on y upto a certain limit. Hence for 5w30 you can go 5w40, 0w40, 0w30 but not 0w16 or 10w40.
