Recommendation Chart

Which is Synthetic Oil? What is the best engine oil for my car? We have got you covered. Here we present you the recommendation chart for almost all passenger cars available on Indian Roads. Contact us if you are facing any difficulty in selecting the most suitable engine oil for your car. We do not market, we just provide you with the most genuine expert advice.

Q. What viscosity grade engine oil should I use in my car?

The right viscosity grade for your car depends on the manufacturer’s recommendation, usually mentioned in the owner’s manual. Most modern petrol cars (like Maruti and Hyundai) use lighter grades such as 0W-20 or 5W-30 for better cold starts and fuel efficiency, while diesel cars often require slightly thicker oils like 15W-40 to handle higher loads. At our stockistship, we supply Serve PCMO range and OEM-approved oils for Maruti and Hyundai, ensuring you always get the correct grade for smooth performance, warranty protection, and long engine life.

Q. Is fully synthetic oil better than mineral or semi-synthetic oil?

Yes, fully synthetic oil is generally better than mineral or semi-synthetic oil because it offers superior protection, cleaner operation, longer drain intervals, and improved performance in both high and low temperatures. While mineral oil is cost-effective and suitable for older engines, and semi-synthetic oil balances performance with affordability, fully synthetic oil is ideal for modern petrol and diesel cars.

Q. How often should I change engine oil in my vehicle?

As a general rule, mineral oils may need replacement every 5,000–7,000 km, while semi-synthetic oils can last around 7,500–10,000 km. With fully synthetic oils, you may enjoy extended drain intervals of 10,000–15,000 km, as they resist breakdown and provide better protection.

Q. What happens if I use the wrong type or grade of oil?

Using the wrong type or grade of engine oil can reduce lubrication efficiency, increase engine wear, and may lead to overheating or sludge buildup. It can also affect fuel efficiency, smoothness of operation, and in some cases, void your car’s warranty.
