Engine oil for 2017 Suzuki Swift RS Hybrid

[Imal Shanaka]

Hi Guys,

I have a new 2017 Swift RS Hybrid and about to do the first oil change at 5000Km's. Can anyone recommend me the best engine oil for this car?? what i have heard is, as this is equipped with an idle stop function normal engine oil will not work. Also searching the internet i found that Castrol MAGNATEC HYBRID 0 W-20 is recommended. (I doubt that i can find this in SL). Hoping to do the oil change at Pitstop.

Any expert advice about this??

Thanks.

0w-20 is recommended available in Toyota, Mobil

If you use syntactic can go up to 10K or 1 year

Thanks mate.

Today i downloaded the Japanese user manual for the model and it says something about 5W-30 also. Actually it says that go for 0W-16 if the outside temp. is somewhere around -15c and says about 0W-20 and 5W-30. I'm actually confused now as I'm thinking whether the 0W-20 is too low for Sri lanka.

tilvin, i assume you are not intending to drive a Peugeot 308 R Hybrid. :) As the model I'm referring to is a Mild-Hybrid with idle stop function.  ?

No issue using 0W20 in SL. Irrespective of brand, use 0W20 for your car.

Non-Turbo engines, 0W-20. I have a RST and i use 5W-30.

 

Toyota 0W-20 for 5000KM service intervals

Mobil 1 0W-20 or any other full synthetic oil for 10,000KM service intervals.

 

I think all RS Hybrids are equipped with the Idle stop feature. IMHO better to use the thinner oil as the engine is always stopping-restarting.
