what engine oil you using now?
SoL:
Isn't the viscosity determined by the number behind? Like 10w30 is thinner than 10w50. I think the front is the winter rating, nothing to do with us. Not too sure though.

You are absolutely correct! :thumbsup:

Currently just pass my 1K on the way to 5k engine seem to lag after the 1k service. I suppose it is the mineral oil which makes me wanted to buy EO for my next 5k service. a lot of you are using redline 0w-30. If we used it will it void the warrentry at TC as the recommendation is 5w-30.
Recently I got to know Mobil 1 0w-30 but really had second tots about going for it. Question like what if the oil is too thin what will happend... Please share your exp. I am a total noobe here. =)

For me, I prefer to use at least '40' as the local hot and humid weather is unforgiving and the strained engine needs extra protection from a thicker oil especially for 'stop & go' city driving and when faced with a traffic jam.
SoL:
Whats the minimum our latio can go? I'm using 30 right now. Thinner oil bad for engine?
clarence:
I even heard of some using '20'.
Thinner oil has its advantages in being more fuel economical.
'30' can be used.
It's just a personal preference and driving conditions your car has to go through which you will know better (eg. more city driving or highway driving).
