Oil

[Ronald]

what type and grade of oil should i use in a kia rio.

what model rio and engine
the manual for the car will tell you
most prob 20-50 is the recommended

[CD4Accord]

Highly unlikely the manual will recommend 20w-50... I have NEVER seen that specified in a car manual before..

Man, just stick to the manual recommendation and read the oil thread(s)...

something wrong with 20W50:?:


check manual for best oil for our climate.

[Rory Phoulorie]

Mitsubishi (CK Lancer) and Hyundai (Gen. 1 Accent, Gen. 3.5 Coupe) owners' manuals indicate that 20W-50 oil is suitable for the ambient temperature in Trinidad and Tobago. It should be noted that other oil grades are indicated to be suitable for use.

[CD4Accord]

If others are noted as being suitable in our climate, then why bother with the 20w-50?

It will give you worse gas mileage and worse startup protection.....

[Hook]

Is this going to degenerate into yet ANOTHER 20W-50 vs. 10W-30 oil thread?

[CD4Accord]

I hope not, i fed up discuss it..

It has the oil thread and the oil viscosity thread discussing the same things in detail..

Talks done..

[cinco]

shrugs i just tellin the man what the rio manual says in it if he has the same model i have..

Just use a synthetic.....I had a car that blew a radiator tank, (plastic sux) ....overheated, threw an engine check light....went to 2000RPM limp home...and happily drove 10 miles on Syntec and NO water.

No seizing no head damage.
