Does engine oil get thinner after 5,000 miles.My old engine oil looks a lot thinner than the new 5W 30.Thanks.
If you see polar bears around you or you have 3 cyl. engine, only then you might need 0W16 oil !
1. The "thinner"oils have a freezing point around -60C (-72F) . The fuel in your tank will freeze, but your oil - not! Who needs such characteristics?
2. The 3 cyl. engines have balancing shafts , which spin twice faster than the cranksahaft. There are some "great" constructions where the oil pump is at the end of the second balancing shaft!!! When your engine runs at 8 000 rpm, the oil pump spins at 16 000 rpm !!!
If you have one of the upper conditions, yes, you need a tinner oil.
If not, I recommend you to read the manufacture instructions about your engine for countries, where the environmental regulations are lowered ( in Asia),the whether conditions are similar to your country and the terms of changing oil are shorter ( in Japan) .
Yes, the manuals, for one engine, are different, for different countries, due to regulations!
Keep in mind that many of the new engines have direct fuel injection, which leads to additional diluting the oil !
Higher viscosity + shorter oil change = longer engine life !
Good and safe voyage!
I live in an Asian country and almost all cars now are using thinner oils in the manuel though
It depends if you care about the engine or about the fuel.
If you use thinner oil , definitely, you will save some fuel... ;)
@@yordanyordanov9453 thats what toyota recommends, i doubt toyota would want to jeopdize their title of most reliable car branding for some fc, and hey not saying your wrong that thicker oil equal better protection but is the extra protection when compare to thinner oil that much needed.Also , thinner oil work better for cold start protection as compared to thicker so all things equal they may offer similar protection but thinner oil have better efficiency

For example,
About Toyota Hilux, 2023 :
toyotamanuals
hilux-owners-manual-aug-23-current
page 488
5W-30 and 10W-30 are also approved. According to the temperature range chart, 10W-30 can be used above - 18C / 0F with the warning for a difficult start when it is extremely cold.
Without jeopardizing their title of most reliable car brand.
About Toyota GR Corolla , 2023 :
There is no other option than 0w20 .
It depends on the model.
@@yordanyordanov9453 it's not an issue if it the manual,follow the manuel. They will be reason why they recommend thinner oils and thicker oils for their model and engine. Manufacturer know best and not due to some fc saving
bro just wanted views he dont know what he saying i run 10w-30 on my b20 been beating on it since i swapped it 2 yrs ago no issues
I'm not sure what B20 is, but probably a BMW engine? BMW does not recommend 10W oils, you re just lucky if it runs fine 😂
@@99vehicles99 It doesn't matter what BMW recommends, there's no universal recommendation since we don't all live in Europe. Engine weight/viscosity is based on your climate and use type, not some universal pick. Someone in Saudi Arabia won't be running a 2023 Toyota engine with 0w8 or 0w16 for what they recommend in Europe or Japan, they'll run it with 10-15w40-50-60.
@@em4703it doesn't matter what the own car manufactur recommends? Dude, if you don't trust this guy above go and look at other reputable mechanics channel then, Chris fix, the car care nut repair or scotty. Your statement that what the car manafucturer recommends does not matter is so off
What exactly are you basing this all on , have you any qualifications , or have you conducted research , or just made assumptions ?
Yeah, I'm an Automotive Engineer. I sell oils, I have a shop and I've seen the trends in engines, especially Europe. Lots of research, actually. Some of which you will also find written on some spec sheets of oils if you look carefully. Cheers 🎉
He is talking basic concepts not rocket science dude
@@leeheemeng3799 he talked for ages and said nothing though.
@@tomthompson7400 if that is so why did u asked if he conducted research or his qualification?
Thin oils don't work in hot climates, hence why thicker oils are recommended by these same manufacturers that scream for 0w16 in europe, they'll recommend 15w40-50 oils in SA or Africa on the same engines where this guy says that "it will break them". Lol. Besides cold climate, thin oil means better mileage but with lower protection/more wear on the engine, which in Europe that's what they care about. In other countries, there's no emission laws so the manufacturer will recommend a better, thicker oil, for their engine.
