educate me what you mean by its too late to switch to another engine oil please? because i dont see anything wrong happening as long as the engine oil in question i am about switching too is the recommended. by the way, my neighbor having used XHP for long switched to the recommended and the engine is doing very fine with little or no noise at all.

I don't know why ppl are too triggered. Simple question o. Educate the guy if you can. Haba!

To your question, when you start off using heavier oils like xhp, and use it over time, the engine which may sound okay, would have undergone some wear and tear working hard pumping the thicker oil, compared to the lighter oil it was built for. That wear and tear will become very pronounced when you decide to now switch to a lighter oil, majorly smoking due to clearances which the lighter oil will seep through. So in such an instance where you have been using a thick oil for an extended period of time, it is best to just continue using that. The oil burn that will happen when you change to lighter oil will be hoooooge. Cheers!

thank you for educating me. cheers.

You can safely change to automedics oil that contains polytron. It's 5w30, and fully synthetic. Pls Google it and make up your mind.

I use a 5w-20 Mobil 1 high mileage engine oil since 2020 on my 08 Honda crv. I'm about to switch to Amtecol 9000 5w-30 Full synthetic. Cos I heard 5w-30 is good for our climate. And I notice when I travel long distances from Lagos to the east, my engine oil drops significantly. Engine still runs fine. Will 5w-30 Amtecol 9000 full synthetic be a good alternative?

Your engine is a k24, it’s a 4cyl high revving engine and once taken on a road trip it’s rev count usually stays at the higher mark so it’s perfectly normal to experience some oil loss after a long journey of several hours steady cruising.

Where there is a problem is if you lose more than half a liter after a trip of approximately 500 kilometers. Then you might have a case of a bad pcv valve, oil leaks, worn out valves in your cylinder head or slacked oil control rings on your pistons.

Just top up your oil and keep cruising if you’re experiencing no other issues with your vehicle. If you still wish to change oil on your next service you can switch brands but please don’t switch its weight.
