mammanbawa: 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.

dru23: Bros... inasmuch as you can influence your audience online doesn't mean no one else knows it more than you. Check Castrol Nigeria online and know where their Laboratory is. The Lab is even ILCP accredited aside ISO 9001:2015, SON MANCAP.. See the link below: https://www.castrol.com/en_ng/nigeria.html You can send me a PM and we discuss in detail. I can facilitate your facility tour |

Re: ......20w50 Oil Does More Harm To Your Engine if it is not needed ... by ascendo(m): 9:32pm On Sep 13, 2019 |
YES! But let me enlighten you more. API ie American Petroleum Institute Classification is a MUST on all multigrade oil that's why you get SD, SF, SJ, SL, and SN is the highest API Classification at the moment for Spark Ignited IC engine lubricants. The S in the classification shows that it's for petrol/gasoline engines ie spark ignited while API Classifications starting with C eg CD, CF, CH is for compression ignited engines or better still diesel engines. Let's not argue much. The symbol you see is for API Service and they went ahead to tell you that the product is the finest blend of the SN class Its technical. Castrol is not just oil, its fluid Engineering... trust me when I say that its fluid engineering. We don't just maintain standards...we improve on standards.

mammanbawa: This smoke is not bluish... it's a COLD START and the engine is yet to attain the operational temperature. If you notice the temperature gauge for cars that still have thermostats...the temperature rises and gets to a place that looks like the middle of the gauge. At that point, if it tries to move up, the thermostats opens and the engine cooling fan comes on till the thermostat closes it again as the coolant is cooled down... the engine temperature maintains a range for optimum performance. I rest my case... 2 Likes |

dru23: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, Castrol EDGE Professional 5W-20, 5W-30 Castrol EDGE High Mileage: 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 Castrol EDGE Extended Performance: 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 Castrol EDGE Bio-Synthetic: 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 Castrol GTX MAGNATEC (Full Synthetic): 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 Castrol GTX High Mileage: 5W-30, 5W-20 Castrol GTX Ultraclean: 5W-20 and 5W-30 |
