My engine steams on cold start
After 128k kms
5 years and counting
20w - 50 every time
Convincing me to do otherwise is gonna be difficult
Except for Benz and other high end luxury models

Bros: I responded to the best of my knowledge. Can I see the data sheet for that oil? Had it been I can get like 250ml, we run the analysis and send you the results

Ikenna351:


You just proved your position on 20w-50 oil for your vehicle wrong with the pictures you attached.

That's bluish smoke. A sign of weak Engine about to enter grave. The 20w-50 you have been using have ruined that Engine, as the picture you attached has proven (other factors may contribute).

This is why I mentioned earlier that most 20w-50 oil users or Nigerians that abuse their vehicles usually claim their engines or vehicles have no issues and running perfectly fine with the wrong oil or abusive maintenance, until they bring their vehicles to experts/specialists, only to be told their Engines or vehicles are Walking Dead.

There is nothing Wrong with 20w-50 oil weight, be it mineral or synthetic. It's not a bad oil. It's just not meant for all Engines, especially the newer or modern ones. It's too thick for them.

AshipaEk0:

mammanbawa:


Lmfao
It's the picture
And once the temperature gets to the normal gauge
Nothing comes out
I know my car
I trust my car
And nothing you say will change anything
To each his own
Cheers

Does the castrol you have meet or exceed API requirements.. It is a Yes Or No answer

NEW API SN PLUS SPECIFICATIONS
API
Today’s modern engines are designed to deliver higher levels of performance, improved fuel economy and emissions benefits than ever before. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines are one of the more prevalent engine technologies that unlock the higher demands on today’s engines. GDI engines are sometimes susceptible to a condition called low speed pre-ignition (LSPI). A full range of Castrol’s products have been specially formulated to protect against LSPI and help you get the best from your vehicle.



1. What is SN PLUS?



API SN PLUS is the interim spec within the lubricants industry that supplements the API SN category for gasoline engine oil performance. It helps bridge the gap between current ILSAC GF-5 and future ILSAC GF-6 specifications. It was developed in response to auto manufacturers request to ensure gasoline direct engines have guaranteed protection against low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) events. LSPI is caused by high pressure build up in the cylinder of the engine which can damage your car’s engine.



2. How do I know I need an SN PLUS oil?



As of May 2018, no OEMS are recommending an API SN PLUS oil but check your owner’s manual to see if you have a gasoline direct engine that might benefit from an API SN PLUS oil. GDI engines are named differently by manufacturer (eg. GDI, FSI, SIDI, Eco Boost), consult your owner’s manual to understand what specific engine your car has. API SN PLUS is expected to be recommended by OEMs in 2019. A host of Castrol products are already API SN PLUS licensed and are ready to meet the API SN PLUS category needs when OEMs begin to require this product.



3. Does Castrol have products that meet API SN PLUS?



The core of Castrol products have been licensed by the American Petroleum Institute as meeting or exceeding the requirements of the API SN PLUS category. These products are

Castrol EDGE (Advanced Full Synthetic): 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30
Castrol EDGE Professional: OE 0W-20,
