Its Suzuki kazashi 2.4 Fwd
1.what is the fuel average you kizashi is giving
Mine is 8,8.5 in city 9,10 on highway is it ok
2.whats the mobile oil grade to use and which company mobile1,liqui-moli, suzuki.
out of the two you mentioned, which one is thicker? im not familiar with how that scalesBatNasko wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 5:50 pm My Kizashi is European from Italy, but the Suzuki manual recommends 0w20 for the same engine, and in the US 5w30. It is most likely due to different standard. 0w20 cites it as the greatest fuel economy. According to the country and climate where I am, I pour on my Kizashi Ravenol 5w30. I will try Pakelo 5w30 soon.

With oil, it's measured in viscosity, which is the measure of resistance to flow. Basically, higher viscosity means thicker fluid. Honey has much higher viscosity than water. With motor oil, the higher number means it's more viscous/thicker. 5W-30 is thicker than 0W-20.Obama_is_hot6 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 9:22 pmout of the two you mentioned, which one is thicker? im not familiar with how that scalesBatNasko wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 5:50 pm My Kizashi is European from Italy, but the Suzuki manual recommends 0w20 for the same engine, and in the US 5w30.

This is my italian manual where recommended 0w20, but there is temperature diagram on the region.KuroNekko wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:48 pmWith oil, it's measured in viscosity, which is the measure of resistance to flow.

Also, most modern motor and gear oils are multi-grade meaning they have a cold and warm rating. This is wear the "W" comes in which technically means "Winter" but represents cold flow properties. A 5W-30 has multigrade properties of flowing like a grade 5 oil when cold but when warmed up, will flow like a grade 30.
Most engines can take a range of motor oil viscosities based on the ambient temperature they are used in but tend to have one recommended grade. For the Kizashi, the recommended grade is 5W-30 and this should fit nearly all uses worldwide. However, in extreme temperatures, either cold or hot, you can use thinner or thicker oil. You want to use thinner oil for colder temps and thicker for hotter but we are really talking about extremes in temps. Lastly, as engines wear from age and mileage and their tolerances change, many start using High Mileage or thicker grade oil. High Mileage formulas have additives to help with minor leaks and resist burn-off.
The topic can get far more complex but that is the basics of motor oil. If you're ever in a situation where the engine is very low on oil and you can't get your hands on 5W-30, it's going to be totally fine to use 0W-20 or 10W-30 to get the oil to a recommended level. I've oddly encountered people with zero understanding of vehicle mechanics who didn't believe me and would rather run their engine with low levels of oil than to put in a different grade temporarily until service.![]()
What is interesting is that about two weeks ago, I was looking for this very oil chart in the US owner's manual and could not find it anywhere. I looked in the same section as your book but it only mentions that 5W-30 is the recommended oil. The owner's manual I have is not original to the car however and is for a 2013 Kizashi. Mine is a 2011 and when I bought it used, it didn't come with the manual. I bought the book and other Kizashi parts from KlutzNinja after his was totaled because he's not far from me.
