The issue is that some people seem good cuz of the condition they found themselves in.

During these oil debate.. One thing I didnt do is go directly to owners manual to read . All the information is free and readily avilable on line... as u can see 5w30 is good for all extreme weather ... most of the tokunbo cars are from the USA ,which are built better than SA.. Apart from that ,you can the 1999 Camry owners manual at the bottom.. I rest my case ...
Check the manual you attached... Use API SJ

In lube selection; API Classification plays the major role.

Like I said I import directly from the USA bro... keep in mind the manufacturer date is July 2019.. So they are as fresh as possible.....
OK! but you can now change the title of this thread...20W50 doesn't harm engine that is in need of it

Am asking you why you guys don't have gtx Magnatec ? You telling me Magnatec stands out. ....on the European label your 5w30 says Magnatec and the USA label it says GTX Magnatec ..what is the difference bro ... abi na just labeling or false advert ..or because the gtx magnatec exceeds or has better protection than Magnatec .... Am waiting sir
Its not false advert... its like a HYBRID. Just like combining the features of the two ranges (GTX and Magnatec) in a single product. Thats just the secret.

GTX has its strength in fighting SLUDGE while magnatec has intelligent molecules as its strength. These clings on the bodies to be lubricated even when the engine is off for a long time. Thus, at the first motion of your engine mechanisms, there is protection from the start.

Why no gtx magnatec now
We only have EDGE, MAGNATEC and GTX... That Magnatec GTX is advanced blend tailored for US Clime... Just Like GTX 20W50 is tailored for West and Central African Market.


Bros; go for Edge Professional 5W30 or 5W20..(but 5W30 is preferable cuz of the range), you will get the result you need.

Mineral based oil will do the work. 20W50 but drain at 4-5000kms

The black is Castrol 5w40 USA



Vs


Compare to the European that you are selling.. And which one would you buy or likely the customers will likely to buy ....
Bros, Castrol Edge Professional 5W30 is what COSCHARIS uses on all these Rolls Royce, BMW, FORD, RANGE ROVER... it's a perfect fit.

Why going for advanced synthetic that you don't need just for the sake of using?

The good news is that conventional drain intervals for Castrol Edge Professional is 8-10,000kms.

Check BMW ISIS or ISPI Platforms

I just saw your new topic on Castrol. GTX Essential comes in 3 viscosity grades 20W50, 25W50 and 15W40...and are mineral oils.

Castrol edge has 5W20, 5W30, 5W40 and Magnatec has 5W30...all are full synthetic and available as for SN Plus, I'll check its availability

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,
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

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
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...
Car TalkRe: ......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.
