Hi, for a car more than 2 decades old, yes , use a 40 weight oil and keep the oil level in check and topped up,..

And change your air filter.

I replied to you on the other thread.....That seems fine for a vehicle with that much high mileage....why do you not like the oil you are using ?

Finally...please do not go around asking the same question on multiple threads....

Dear iRage,

Could you please share the experience of your 110 car engine oil. it will more helpful for me.

I have never owned a 110 on a long term basis. But then again, type of engine oil is very subjective as what works for my engine might not be the best thing for your engine. A "not so worn out" engine would do quite well with a thinner oil and if a heavier oil is needed it would purely for heat absorption in a high temp environment like Colombo. On the other hand, if the engine is somewhat worn out, one might be tempted to use a thicker oil anyway in the interest of maintaining oil pressure and such.

As for whether you should use synthetic or mineral oils...again...that is also subjective as it depends on your vehicle usage and conditions and budget.

If the engine is relatively unworn...then yes a lighter oil would work....but then if the engine is worn with age..a heavier oil would be better....

As for brands...

Mobil, Castrol, LiquiMoly, (do we still have the proper Penzoil ?)...etc...

Devinda_Z · August 16, 2019

I'd say a 40 viscosity semi synthetic but again knowing the mileage would help!

The brand, type and viscosity of the oil you currently use sounds fine but i'd be more concerned about the oil level decreasing....

Any noticeable leaks? Any residue under the car when parked overnight?

How much oil do you top up and how often (in terms of km's run between top ups?)

still no leak founded, oil level is between High and low ( half level), top ups in nearly 3 months ago.

Thanks for your support.
