Our automotive market here in Dominican Rep is very similar to the US one in terms of available vehicle models and motor oil brands.
Now we are getting the new CR-V (made in USA) with the 1.5T engine which calls for 0w-20 motor oil. HGMO full syn and syn-blend, PP and Motul, are the only 0w-20 motor oils currently available here. There is a small community located on a mountain frecuently visited for leisure but it takes over an hour going uphill on a paved road to get there. We all know the heat produced by turbos is insane and in this case the Turbo will spend that amount of time working continuously to power up the CR-V or any other turbocharged vehicle demanding a lot from the oil.
What motor oil should we use?
