Benefits of 0W

[Jetronic]

ok, now i am really curious about where you live man..
and how is your mg doing? i am interested on getting one ,looks good ,but i dont know .. Chinese quality?

Got a whole thread about it, but it's boring. It's been absolutely fine so far, and the average consumption is about 20% below the official figures. The thing I like the least is the sound quality of the radio, it's lacking in the sub bass region, so will add my own small subwoofer.

I live near Brussels

Thread 'MG HS'

Nov 18, 2023

MG HS and EHS is the biggest MG on offer where I live, it's roughly the size of a Hyundai tucson.

It's also the cheapest on offer in it's calss.

I've seen one article about it, what stood out to me is they commented how well it soaked up speed bumps (the ICE only version: HS) and rough roads. As I get older, I find this more and more important for a family vehicle....

Apparently the engine is a GM 1.5 turbo, and the transmissions available are a 6 speed manual or 7 speed DCT. I don't know who supplies the transmissions, but unless there are major concerns with the DCT I'd want that...

Well my plan with the Tiguan when it was in warranty was to ask my dealership to use 504 00 oil instead of 508 00, which they did.

Perfect.

Hyundai which has always recommended 5w-xx for as long as I can remember, is now recommending 0w-30 on select new engines; just my 2c on the use of 0w-xx.

They skipped the 0w-20 altogether.

My uncles Tucson takes 0W-20

Ya I was going to mention your fill with Ravenol. I really don't see why this is such an issue. Most 0w40 are susceptible to falling out of grade simply because they lack the headroom. It's not a big deal anyways. I mean who gives a rats behind if an 0w40 temporarily shears into a heavy 30 grade. Big freaking deal.

I've given this a little thought. I'd not mind a bit of a drop with an xW-40 even to a "high 30" as that would be quite suitable for my engine, and result in a somewhat heavier oil than when using an xW-30 that starts, say, in the middle of the grade range, as I see some oils do.
