  • Engine oil. High temp recommendations

    Hi all.
    What would be the best option for the high temp for the next couple of months in Perth
    Supercheap have a few on sale which are fine but want the right one.
    10W 30- 5l Castrol edge $50 or magnatec stop start $21.49
    10W 40- Castrol magnatec $21.49
    15W 40- ?

    Would like a quick reply as I want to get some today if possible. Any reply appreciated. Cheers

      Thanks for the reply Mick.
      Thought 5W would be too low that was why I was thinking more alone the line of at least 10W.

        I think 10W -40 is ok ,this is what my Toyota dealer using all year round. And they use Castrol magnatec.

            I'm using the 10 - 30 castrol edge.
            It is noticeably quieter on startup and have had better fuel per tank economy since. It's an ILSAC GF-5 oil which was the main spec i was looking at.

                Your car manual should show a graph of different oil viscosities and the ambient temperatures they're designed for.
                But for potentially hot summer temps you'll be perfectly okay to use a 10w-40 or even 15w-40. For a modern engine like yours I'd be reluctant to put 20w-50 in it..... Like ever. 20w50 has its place for engines with long term rocker gasket leaks that people opt not to fix. So they try to slow the oil leakage with thicker oil. It's too thick for use in modern engines I believe. I use 15w-40 all year round in my old 98 model V6 engine and also in my wife's 2011 2.0L petrol X-Trail. We get hot temps here. Commonly get 35-38 deg days in summer. Half a dozen days over 40. Going by the last 2 years two consecutive days between 43 and 49 deg. Plus we drive up a long steep mountain range 5 days a week to go to work which generates some hot temps in the engine bay by the time you get to the top.
