hello everyone
i`m new here and i really need advice about oil
i live in egypt, in summer we have hi-temp 35-45c
i just got a new car which is 1993 fiat tipo 1.6L I.E. with 190000km
i looked in the manual and it says the recommended oil is ( 15w40 SF/CC )
i couldnt find that grade here in the market and i really want to change the oil
i can use 20w50 which is avaliable but i think it`s a little thick for the engine
i was thinking about changing to synthetic oil but i`m confused about the grade
choices are
Mobil 1 0w-40 , Total Quartz 9000 5w-40, Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40
i don`t know if these grades are suitable for hot dusty climates
help me choose an oil please
i really appreciate your help, thanx in advance
