SAE 40

[Kanishka Amarasiri]

I am owner of Honda GP1 (2014).  Usually I used toyota 0w-20 engine oil.  Recently my service agent asked me to change it to SAE 40 due to oil coemption.  My issue is, does it matter if I change the oil 0w-20 to SAE 40.  Thank you

Could it be that your GP1 was manufactured in 2012-2013 and registered in 2014? Because if so there's a good chance of your oil consumption issue being due to faulty piston / piston ring design which Honda advised to be addressed by replacing all 4 pistons and accompanying piston rings with redesigned ones.

If the car belongs to oil burning chassis range, i dont see a point in increasing the velocity as it is a temporary solution. Better get it rectified asap. May i know the current millage of ur car if you don't mind?
Also i believe you car is registered in 2014, cz GP1 series stopped after 2013. from 2014 GP5 manufacturing started.
