Here in the UAE, 20w50 Mineral oil - readily available of all brands (Amsoil is also available) 10w40 Semi-Synth - readily available of nearly all brands (Amsoil doubtful) 5w30 Synth & Semi-Synth - Easily available (of all brands) 5w40 Synth - Becoming rare and hard to find these days 5w50 Synth...

Yes, thats what even the websites show me. But it would have been better if it was running on 5w30 from the beginning which currently isnt the case here.

Yeah, even i was thinking on that to go for the 20w50 amosil. but somewhere i read that Higher Viscosity Index for Synthetics is not good always, means it would be thicker compared to a mineral oil 20w50 Film thickness. If that is the case, wouldnt my mileage drop further? Again, i am new to...

I did check for that option, here the mechanic totally ignored me for it. They showed me "for diesel engine only". :)

Hi, I recently purchased a second hand 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4L Inline 4 Cylinder SUV which has clocked over 195k Kms on the odo. I live in the United Arab Emirates where the summer temperature reaches 50 Degree Celsius. The oil which was being used in it was 20w50 Mineral changed at every...
