based on some basic research all engine oils have an SAE number (Society of automobile engineers).
Now, viscosity is measured in a unit where higher number means more viscous oil(more thicker), Lower viscosity value means(lower number) means thinner oil at a particular temperature.
There are two number x and y in the format xW-y. The x means the viscosity value when engine is cold. It is supposed to be lower value since oil needs to be thinner when engine is cold, so that it can reach the engine head. Now the value Y is the viscosity of oil measured at 100 degree C. Please note thats its not the temperature itself what Y is signifying. Rather the viscosity value at 100 degrees. This is the operating temperature of most engines running normally. Now the oil has to be thicker to maintain its consistency so the value is higher.
E.g 0w-20 means the oil is very less viscous at cold temp, and viscosity value is 20(more thick) when temp is 100. Similarly 5w-40 would mean, oil thickness is less(5) when engine is cold, and its viscosity is 40 when engine temp is 100. So this oil is more thicker at 100 degrees than 5w-20.
So which is better for a diesel and petrol mill if u are from Delhi, NCR. As tem here goes till 2, 3 degree to scorching 50 degree in summers.
@@priyamjoshi2667 Sorry if I may have confused you. The summary of my post is that every engine requires a particular thickness of oil at different temperature and this can be identified by its sae number. This can only be provided by the OEM engine manufacturer for their engine.
"So this oil is thicker than 5W40 at 100 degree"
No.
Higher the number, higher the viscosity, it is directly proportional. Which is exactly what you have written in your comment however your end conclusion is the opposite.
Brother let me tell u its pretty clear ..the market scenario is hiped with buying more new cars rather than maintenance of cars for longer period. Aab yeh trend govt bhi support karta aur Autosector k to wah wah. The only thing to do is drive cautiously till warranty period after that save ur car by giving the necessary graded oil & fluid. Thanks again Paaji for the video with truth and man to man conversation ❤. God bless you all.
Master mechanic Mukesh Chandra Gond once said... new engine has low tolerances so use thinner oils... but as engine grows old due to usage, tolerances increase so use heavier oils... 0w20 upto like 60k, then 5w30 upto like 1.2L then 10w40 there on... and for old diesels use 15w40👍🏻
Adding to the pinned comment, 0W oils are used because normal public does not warm their engines before driving. They just crank the starter and start driving. This is the basic reason for using 0W oils. Us enthusiast are the only ones who follow the engine warm up, turbo cool down procedures. 95% of car buyers are not enthusiast, hence companies are switching to 0W oils. Such a basic thing Manish ji missed, you are enthusiast doesn't mean everyone is. And regarding VW oil burning, there are many articles on oil burning issue with VW engines. Use any oil, both TDI and TSI engines consume oil. That is not a bad thing.
True ..also rate of change of viscosity with temp.
ok... but could you please tell why 40 to 20 upper temp🤗
@@mrbeanofficial923 May be because band width of lower to upper range is not wide.
Sir, from whaf i could make out of his views and statements is... the issue doesn't seem to be with the winter grade but the latter... i.e. 20 or even 16 nowadays... U seem to have missed the part where he mentions that racing bikes and cars have 0W40, 10W50 and even 10W60...
VW engines burn oil every enthusiast knows that, Munish ji too. However, Thinner oils like 20, 30 burn up even quicker...
Modern engines do not really need engine warm just a waste of time, if you really want to do 10 seconds is sufficient( Yes u still need to drive in a sedate manner until engine reaches optimal working temperature [some 40C° to 130C°] ) and such low viscous oil will get so thin at extreme hot temperatures in India they would damage the engine instead of protecting them .
Its totally depends on engine calibration and service intervals targets , engine power output and oil consumption. Operating conditions. Engine durability cycle w.r.t vehicle and torque curve. In addition some organisations use minaral oil as base and add additives. If more oil consumption its actually trouble for company as engine may sized due to non availability of oil. And warranty related issues may face..so do not skip the service intervals as recommended by companies. And also use recommended oil as mentioned in user manual.in addition oil pump selection is also done w.r.t oil used in engine.now a days its observed oil quantity feeling on higher side as organization already did these calculations and recommend the oil greads accordingly
Last week i had been to Skoda sc for an engine oil topup of our kushaq 1.5 TSI with 8600kms on the ODO. Half a litre oil (0W-20)was put i.e in 8.5k kms running 0.5l oil was consumed.
A very good topic to discuss about, have been researching quite a lot on this.
VW themselves are confused, dealerships are putting 5W-40 in 1.0 TSI Polo (DSH0) while the Virtus and Taigun 1.0 (DTB)have a sticker under the bonnet stating 0W-20.
I’ve personally noticed drop in fuel efficiency after the first oil change in my Polo hinting that it was filled with 0W-20 from factory.
Interesting observation, even I witnessed a drop in FE after 1st oil change of my Vento 1L TSI
Engine oil plays vital role in mileage
➕ Same happened to me in my Rapid 1L TSI, the change in engine viscosity was quite evident.
1.0 turbo engines run very hot , i have noticed. It's better to use 5w40 for our climate
If you are not doing extreme driving and i mean really extreme then 0-20 oil is good for highway driving. In India much driving is start stop so better flow quality oil like 0-20 provides better protection to components where thicker oils will not flow. It will lubricate sleeves better. 5w-30 will also do the job well enough in same engine. Modern cars are even going lower like 0-16 even 0-8. If you are morning driver 0 oils will serve better over time.
0w 16 is used in hot areas of America as well. I had used 10w 40 in 10w 30 recommended bike and had a camshaft failure as the oil pump was unable to pump oil in the head properly.
makes sense. You user a thicker oil than recommendation.
The bikes manual has a range of oil viscosity you can use, according to ambient operating temperatures.
Same thing faced in my cbr! I used 10w40 instead of 10w30 and the engine heated more with the thicker oil. Which resulted in burnt armature.
10w40 won't hurt the engine. May be some adulterated fuel.
Should provide Manish g views on latest VW statement please?
- It's a straightforward statement, not very complicated. They want to sell a stake aka seek partnership with a local company, not very complicated. Unless you try and read too much into this statement and twist it and try to make something else out of it.
Have a good day.
Same was done by ford ....
- Situation was different with For. Get the complete deets, autocar covered the reasons quite well. VW has a different scenario, it's not an apple to apple comparison. Also Although Ford doesn't sell new cars they are still supporting existing customers witb proper service. @@varunesh123
True video. company uses 0w20 oil in my alto 800 2022 model. Poor power, vibration in engine poor pickup. Then i shifted to 5w 30 then car become rocket pickup increased no vibration smooth engine. I feeled difference in performance. Whatever they are talking here is true.
Any milage change in your altok10
Not checked but drastic change in performance
I have been researching a lot about engine break in time
Recently and came to conclusion that
When we buy a new car we should be doing our first oil change at 600km to 1000km
For all engines
Then an other service around 4000km to 5000 km
3rd service at 10000km
After that 7000km to 8000 km should be our interval to enhance engine life
If you ask new engine price for 1.0 tsi cost is 4 lakh to 5lakh
So oil service cost only
Cost 5k
I am happy to spend another 1 lac in 12 years to save engine life
I have got 1.5 TSI GT virtus. Got same problem with 0w20. At 7800 kms on odo have to do 1L engine oil top up. And the reason they gave was that i missed my 7400 km general checkup. I am car enthusiast and knows a little bit about these things but were ready for a discussion with service center regarding 0w20 used at 45 degree temperature. Asked the same question to my service advisor that if you have 5w30 or 5w40 recommended for virtus. But sadly have to put 0w20 again.
Recommended oil type is mentioned in user manual - stick to that type as OEM knows better than anyone else. My Rapid petrol uses 5W40 and has worked well for past 10 yrs. Recently I tried 0W30/20 which is a thinner oil ( expensive than 5W40 ) and result is that the mileage has marginally improved and engine is bit silent. Thinners oils do this. Flip side is that if i rev too hard, i can smell some oil burn - this may be because of thinner oil. Hence i am shifting back to original skoda recommended 5W40 ( many oil cos make this oil e.g. Shell Helix, Castrol Magnatec, Mobil etc )
Please watch the full video to understand the point. 0W20 is good for certain conditions. 5w40 was ideal for all conditions.
@@SunderdeepSingh Yes you are right. It matters where the car is being driven ( ambient temperatures ). Oil types change accordingly. For most consumers, sticking to OEM recommended oil specs which are mentioned in user manual is the best thing to do in my opinion.
@@adityainamdar8131 0W-20 or VW508 is not backward compatible, meaning older gen engines like yours will get damaged overtime if 0W-20. It is only meant for new gen TSIs.
I own a Honda City 2012 model.
Previously Honda service centre use to fill 0w30 oil. Around 5 years back they started filling 0w20.
Since I work in Petroleum Oil Refinery, I understand oil grades & its effect especially for hot conditions prevailing in northern & western India.
Upon questioning service centre, they replied since it’s a fully synthetic oil grade, 0w20 will also work and will improve car’s mileage.
But I was not satisfied with their answer and I checked with my car service manual wherein list of recommended engine oil are 0w30, 0w40, 5w30, 5w40. Further I states 0w30 SM grade will give best fuel economy.
Since my Honda city I-vtec engine is naturally aspirated engine so switched back to 0w30 fully synthetic SN Shell Helix Ultra engine oil.
Further Honda service centre doesn’t allow to use other brands engine oil so I have stopped going to Honda Service Centre, instead get my car serviced at reputed third party service centre while using 0w30 oil.
It is better to not mess with any grade ... 5w30 is said to be smarter better super, which is all crap.... just stick to 5w40 it is recommended which both tdi and tsi loves
Newer engines, especially those designed with tighter tolerances like those of VW and requiring better fuel efficiency, often benefit from 0W-20.
• Older Engines: Engines with more wear might perform better with 5W-30, which offers better protection at higher operating temperatures.
5. Fuel Efficiency: 0W-20 can slightly improve fuel economy because of its lower viscosity at operating temperature, reducing engine drag.
6. Driving Conditions:
• Normal Driving: For typical daily driving, either oil might work fine if it aligns with your manufacturer’s recommendations.
There can be only two reasons behind this trend followed by most OEMs:
1) First, the quality and type of the oil pump being used in the sump might be incapable of pumping high viscosity oil at required pressure into the engine. The lubrication lines in the engine might also not support oil of a thicker viscosity and may even get clogged leading to premature engine failure. The oil pressure sensor would show a low oil pressure signal along with that dreadful red low oil level warning indication on the dash.
2) Secondly, it may be a deliberate attempt at reducing the cost of consumables for the customer which works in two ways. Firstly, it improves the margins for dealer service network and secondly, it also brings down the cost of servicing for the vehicle owners thereby creating a public image of the brand being easy on the pocket when it comes to the cost of servicing a vehicle at an authorised service centre.
To sum it up, its advisable to stick to the OEM recommended grade of oil, at least till the vehicle is under warranty. In case one is deciding to change the grade of oil, ensure to get the old oil flushed out completely, sump cleaned up, and the oil filter replaced before a different grade is refilled.
Add planned obsolescence to the list
@@ketankadam5669 Any grade of engine oil deteriorates over time and should be used within 12-18 months from the date of packaging. There is nothing called planned obsolescence in case of engine oils since they all have a limited shelf life anyways.
CAFE norms is another reason and I believe this is the primary driving force for companies to switch to thinner oils....
perfect on the point discussion.
now i have been asking the same question to many people and mechanics and even workshop managers. but the only answer i got was that lower grade oil is used in the interest of fuel efficiency only.
till date i havent got a proper answer
6 months back i even saw a 0w16 in a workshop belonging to a manager there for his maruti suzuki car. i just asked him what will happen to the engine in our hot climates.
he answered that i dont know. this is recommended by the company
even in motorcycles and scooters i think a Xw40 oil is mostly need as these vehicles run at very high rpms and no liquid cooling.
regards
They put 0w16 for performance and mileage ( most of the people don’t keep idle after cold start they start driving ) they add engine oil treatment along with the oil now a days for higher temperature support
What a discussion, thanks for increasing our knowledge on automobiles ❤
My Bmw x1 uses 0w30. Am using 5w40 and engine runs happily. 😊
Mileage?
Keep updating this typ of knowledge ❤very nice brother this is truth
11:55 Even 0w8 also there for TOYOTA Corolla Hybrid & TOYOTA PRIUS
Thicker oils like 5W-40 may lead to a slight decrease in fuel economy compared to the recommended 0W-20 oil. Thicker oils can create more resistance in the engine, which can affect fuel efficiency.
I completely agree with sir that in Indian hotter climate id do not make any sense to go with 0W 20 oil grade. In my opinion too 10w 40 is perfect as compared to our climate.
those who are still going with 0w20 should atleast go with 5w30 agar sahi laga toh slowly switch to 10w40.
Thinner oil helps flows from VVTs and vTecs solenoids to give quick response pickup
5W40 is best for TSI in indian conditons. We put 0W30 in Sweden
India has lack of knowledge because our education system is based on memorizing and scoring high marks in examination. Every brand and big institutions take advantage of us and scam us is most possible way. I am an Engineer and I know what all these mean. That is why I service my own vehicle, I have trust in me that my engine can't go wrong with the type of care I take. I don't care about brand warranty unless there is any manufacturing defect. I take things in my own hands and stay happier and service better than authorized service center. Also, for the people who are non-technical you guys can trust your technical friends more than those brands and their so called warranty. Companies do dirty business, nothing else
Thanks for raising such a critical point here. It was beneficial and eye-opening.
Brands want to maximize their sales that's it. Nobody cares about customers and reliability.
maybe they are scared of Chinese automakers eating their sales or something else but this needs to be stopped.
Everything has become short and fast-paced nowadays just like short reels and tiktoks. They now want cars to be like that only.

Company wants us to buy car every 5 years😢
That's why they are using 0W20 , which will not result in the aging of cars and people buy new ones
At the end it's business
Please use 0W20. The engines are designed for lighter engine oils. Do not listen to anyone who says to use otherwise. You will wear out your bearing if you switch to a heavier engine oil.
i am using shell 5w30 fully synthetic 3.5L cost 3850/-

Advantages for brands / dealerships for promoting low viscosity engine oil as standard of late....
1. Three to four percent increase in fuel efficiency to give temporary psuedo satisfaction to customer
2. Easy low temperature / early morning lubrication is ensured specially for those who crack the engine and immediately move the vehicle due to easy flow in engine. This ensures lesser engine/ turbo related compliants specially in early ownership period or say warranty period
3. Chance to get more money from customer for costly fancy grade oil instead of basic mineral oil
4. Thinner oil leads to relatively early engine overhauls ( around 1.5 lacs ) leading to gone piston rings and blowby problems. This again gives dealerships one more chance to make money for engine buildbup out side warranty.

Thanks for the info. I will use Liqui Moly 5W-40 fully synthetic engine oil for my brand new VW Virtus 1.0 Topline. I've used the same oil for 4 years in my VW Polo, which has the same engine but slightly less power, and it had zero problems. I have full trust in VW reliability, so I’m not concerned about the warranty if it voids.
Its the best oil
From the video, it is clear that 0W20 is most efficient engine oil and maintain its low thickness for 100 degree.
Hello Sunderdeep Ji.....
I own Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG and noticed major drop in Oil level .Same is with the 1.0 TSI which is owned by my sister.
After seeing your video, i can corelate that these cars burn oil on high rpm's, because whenever i drive at higher speeds on highways,i can see drop in oil level.
So please suggest what to do in that case.
On asking ASC about this, they say it is normal for TSI Engine that they burn oil,and said KI YE TOH BAHUT NORMAL HAI,SIR AAPKA TOH BAHUT KAM HUA HAI ,AAP UNKI CAR DEKHO WOH TOH 10K Kms PE DO BAAR TOP UP KARA CHUKE HAI.
SIR PLEASE IS MATTER KO ESCATE KARNE KI ZARURAT HAI KYUKI YE MERI 12th car HAI and i according to my knowledge engine should not consume engine oil.
Vw skoda engines consume oil. But this is normal. I own 2 skoda cars for past 10 years. I usually top up. I enjoy my cars. This comment is by a good study 😊
There is difference between ambient temp vs engine temp.
Engine temp are same for Rajishthan & Kashmir, check you engine temp. Hardly +_10 degrees
For TDI engines, its better to stick with VW 505.01 or VW 507 00 approved oils. VW 505.01 is available in 5w40 and 5w30. The newer VW 507 00 spec (supposed to be a more demanding spec) is available only in 5w30 grade. I have personally used VW 505.01 Castrol Edge 5w40 and VW 507 00 Mobil 1 esp 5w30 in my TDI. Don't know which one is better, but since last 4 years, I have been using VW 507 00 approved oils due to its highly demanding requirements. VW tests 507 00 oils in atleast 18 different engines for a significantly higher duration than VW 505.01 oils
Also gear oil viscosity rating and engine oil viscosity rating are completely different. A 75w80 gear oil will be almost equivalent to a 5w30 engine oil with respect to viscosity.
0w20/5w20 they use because turbocharger needs thinner oil for optimum circulation that is the reason they recommend this grade i am using tigun gt dsg
Maruti provides 0W-16 for ciaz during service.. Please provide your recommendations in a separate video for engine oils as mentioned. Thank you
No issues as maruti k series engines are lighter and not meant for very high revving as the tsi or turbo engines. I was using 5w30 in my Baleno 1.2 but from last 15k kms I'm using 0w20 ecstar by Suzuki. I've noticed 2kmpl mileage increase and little bit free revving nature of the engine. I'm checking oil levels regularly along with the temperature and not found any martinal difference between 5w30 and 0w20.
In my option if you drive on 2.5-3k rpm and cruise at 120-130 then 5w30 is still better
But if you drive calmly like shifts below 1.8-2k rpm and drive around 80-85kmph then 0w20 is better as it's also not expensive and comes with synthetic technology.
Bhai g honda city bs6 mai cng instal hai....aur 20000 km driven kon sa grade ka engine oil accha raheyga....

To increase mileage, the difference between 20w40 and 0w20 will be about 3-5% , now govt mandating mileage as well as meeting emission norm easly. 2nd maybe thicker oil has tendency to produce more sticky carbon particle affecting valve and injector comparatively more.

Whats will be IMPACT ON EMISSION LEVELS & DPF SERVICE LIFE etc. if someone uses higher grades as per high ambient temperature at location of car.
Most of the newer oils are mid saps or low saps oil. They are compatible with the emission systems. More than grade, it is the saps content in oil that matters for emission systems

Which is good for Polo 1.5 TDI
As munish ji generalized his statement “all brands are doing that” i disagree with this. I haven’t come across other brands that use different engine oils for the same engine or have reduced their oil grades. Anyone can clarify me if wrong.
Maruti Hyundai are using this engine oil grade in their cars. Please check. That was the context.
Nissan uses it in its Turbo engine. HRA0DET. I have the turbo CVT Magnite and recommended oil grade is 0w20
What a valid video worth its weight in gold --- this same point i was wondering since so many years --- this is nothing but organised scam --- west india should only use 10w 40 or 10w 50 grade since lower temp are never below 10 degrees and higher temp are there almost everyday and engine would be run much colder
Shouldn't a user check car user manual and put engine according to that.
I mean car manufacturers do a lot of research and development and only then they publish something.
If a car company publishes something wrong then a customer can file a case against that company.

One key take away from your statement is that if the engine oil is not suitable for that particular engine, the engine will start consuming more engine oil and will not last the annual service interval of 15,000 km. I have not faced any such issue with VW 2.0 cars till date. Another point is that the current manufacturing and servicing is only taking into consideration that the life of the engine should be about 15 years because of the NGT ruling for petrol vehicles and 10 years for diesel vehicles. This was earlier restricted to Delhi NCR areas but now is being gradually rolled out on pan India basis. Also, along with fuel efficiency, the manufacturers are also required to comply with the latest pollution emission norms and perhaps this change in type of engine oil great has to do something with that as well. Also, at the end of the day, the Indian customers have been making huge huge cry about the servicing cost being higher and this is One way for the manufacturers to bring down the cost.
"One way for manufacturers to bring cost down..."
0W20 is more expensive than 5W40.
@@sufiyanadam if what you’re saying is correct, it makes no sense for the manufacturers to hike up the service cost unless there is a good reason to do so.
@@JainArpit If I had to make a guess, I would say it's probably due to strict and stringent emission norms. Thinner engine oils can increase efficiency marginally, allowing the oil pump to work more easily at lower temperatures, even during cold starts. While I'm not completely sure about the specifics of BSVI Phase 2 emission norms, I do know that Euro 7 and the upcoming BS7 standards will require compliance with cold-start emissions.
Although the corporate world can be quite greedy, and one might suspect that car manufacturers are conspiring to execute planned obsolescence, as hinted by Munish and @Sunderdeep Singh, I don't think that's the case-at least not with engine oils.
Especially after the Dieselgate scandal, the VW Group has taken a defensive approach to comply with emission norms. There's no way they can afford to ruin their brand reputation again by pulling a trick like this. They had to shut down their diesel engines globally after the fiasco, so they understand the consequences of malpractice. I do not think the VW Group is conspiring.
@@sufiyanadam my thoughts exactly as stated in my original message. To add to what you’re saying, these TH-camrs are not indicating that this is only the VAG group which is doing this. They are stating this to be the case across the manufacturers in India and perhaps even abroad.
@@JainArpit Yes, I agree. There is a global shift to 0W20, most probably for regulatory compliance.
While the choice of engine oil might seem counterintuitive for tropical climates at first glance, modern synthetic oils like 0W20 are designed to perform well across a range of conditions. These oils are designed with advanced viscosity index improvers, ensuring the oil stays thin enough to flow at low temperatures while maintaining the right thickness at high temperatures.
As far as I am aware, they add additives like zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) which offer strong anti-wear protection, keeping critical engine parts safe from friction and wear, even when the oil is on the thinner side. They're formulated with high-quality base oils that enhance their thermal stability, meaning they're less likely to break down or lose viscosity at high temperatures compared to older formulations.

10:58 paaji , peeche white caar aapki hain kya??
Yes, it was my wife passing by
Bro can u give vwskoda ceo india nos...
I have verna bs6 diesel campany use shell 0w 20 oil (acea c5 ) after 5 k km engine oil increase please tell about this and I could not found 5w 30 oil in acea c5 which is for dpf I think and I asked company service advisor for fully synthetic oil and they didn’t know anything about it
In bs6 diesel engine oil level increase slightly I have seen this in Mukesh charda Gond video ( he is a popular mechanic on TH-cam) you can search
@@neerajsodhi7041 I know buddy any advice about synthetic oil acea c2/3/5 i also saw that video
Avoid short distance trip on bs6 diesel vehicles .... like 2-5 km... dpf will get choke and regeneration will happen frequently leading to more fuel mixing with engine oil. Hence you are seeing engine oil qty increasing because diesel is mixing with oil due to incomplete dpf regeneration... never turn off your vehicle when dpf regeneration is happening
@@chetanmalhotra26 I never got dpf light I have 90 percent highway running but still engine level increase little bit
Please do not dish out your opinion based on some blogs / articles you read online. Every manufacturer invests into research when suggesting oil grades / specifications. Manufacturer always mentions multiple viscosity for a particular engine. It is the approval / specifications that are fixed with multiple viscosity covered.
Eg: VW 502 can be met with 0/5 W 30/40. Newer TSI engines where VW 508/509 is specified must use the newer generation oil 0/5 W 20. To compensate for the lower viscosity, the additive package is added always as per the manufacturer.
You can shuffle between the viscosity allowed by the manufacturer but neglecting the recommendation is not the right way for your engine.
Also the racing car example given by you makes sense as they do this in short sprints. Those cars are not daily drivers.
Look at this video: th-cam.com/video/IKdhgKUZhPA/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUhbG93ciB2aXNjc290dSBvaWwgZGFtYW5hZ2UgZW5naW5l
We have case studies, we deal with 50+ customers daily especially Munish ji. Blogs are written based on our research, we don’t read anything but observe & experience things. 0W20 is getting dumped here and all top mechanics in India have the same opinion. They deliberately are making our cars to last only 2 lakh km
Very interesting topic I agree with this Brother
0w8 in Toyota.. they can use water next
Darn!
Money minting?
Dumping worst grade here because of the research money involved
0W20 is used in parts of world where ambient temperature constantly remains between -10°C to 5°C, for eg, summer season in Alaska, US. In India, temperatures go up to 45°C in summer, this oil grade doesnt make sense here.
Chhod diya na suspense mein 😂
