Hallo Bitog.
As mentioned in earlier threats. I am on the lookout for a good 0w-20 oil. The application is a Suzuki swift.
The number of 0w-20 oils on the Danish market is pretty small. Therefor I started looking on German eBay. They has a lot more to offer.
At the moment I am leaning towards Motul 8100 Eco-lite 0w-20 api SN/GF5. And magnatec pro 0w-20 that carries the same approvals. Outsiders are Rowe 0w-20 and addinol 0w-20 both pretty cheap. And made in Germany. But I know nothing about the brands.
The Castrol is a bit heavier at 100 Celsius then the Motul. 8.9 vs 8.5 for the Motul.
My question is. Does the small difference mean anything? I kind of would like to go for a heavy oil within the 20 weigh range.
On the other hand the Motul is advertised as 100% ester oil. And according to the TDS has a HTHS at 2.7. Castrol don,t inform on the HTHS.
And finally I have a personal preference towards Castrol... I simply don't trust them.. For reason that are hard to put any logic into. But I had used it 2 times. Before in 2 different engines. And both developed timing chain noise within 2000 km from the change to Castrol. On the other hand. Motul is extremely respected for there MC oils here in Denmark.
So does the difference in weight at 100 Celsius mean anything ?
Thanks all and have a great weekend.
