What is the difference between a 25w50 multigrade oil and a sae 30 monograde oil? What oil would you recommend for a 1990 toyota corolla diesel 1.8 d 1C engine?
I live in tropical climate in nicaragua a country where the lowest temperature ever recorded was around 59 degrees F or 15 celsius and temperature maintains between 72 and 86 degrees F or 22 to 30 degrees Celsius, in may temperatures may get up to 100 degrees F or 38 degrees celsius. The vehicle was just purchased and has around 270,000 km. I dont have the owners manual.
These are the engine oils available to me:
shell rotella t1 sae 30 straight grade specs
shell rimula t4 x 15w40 multigrade specs
shell rimula r2 25w50 multigrade specs
liquimoly mos2 low friction 20w-50 specs
which of these oils would you recommend?
thanks
