leonov · Answer

I would use 10W (semi-synthesizer), but the 5W synthesizer might as well.

I once heard that it was better to go with better oil for worse. Is not it worth thinking about mineral oil with such a course? If pol syntetyk is what company?

leonov · Answer

Such formerly opinions were not pouring better oil after a mineral because it rinses the engine and unsealed engine, but it was at a time when the quality of mineral oil was very poor, now even mineral oil should not create carbon deposits in the engine. As for the brand, it will not make much difference.

thoroughly semi-synthesized - 10-40 (regardless of which companies would not be counterfeit (eg castrol or mobil 2000) but not a lotus (I used to get burned on the lotus and heartily advise against it) Do not look at the mileage - I have a car with a mileage of over 240 thousand and pouring castrol 0w40 from the news - just do not know what was flooded earlier in your car and safer will be semi-synthesizer.

It was at the time of Polonez and Fiat 125p, unfortunately myths still linger in the nation. The engine is unsuitable for mineral oil (i.e., almost all currently), it will not work well even if it runs above the psychological barrier of 200k km. When I was not sure what was injected into the engine earlier, I used a Millers lotion and switched to 5W30 synthetic oil, recommended by the car manufacturer. The rinse should be poured into a warmed up engine like oil, start the engine for 10-15 minutes and decant the old oil with the rinse aid. I have not noticed any negative symptoms after this procedure.

280 thousand of which 180,000 on Valvoline MaxLife 10W40. Engine 1.6 16v. This oil is much smoother and it burns at least 4 times less than other, which I used before and was already mentioned here.

kkknc · Answer

Gentlemen, none of the above. Each engine requires oil of a certain quality. And you all give viscosity. Which allowed to use the engine in a specific climate zone. I will not mention that with stickiness you start tying the kines with mineral or synthetic oil. What has nothing to do with this? First class advising .........
Engine oil with ACEA A3 / B3 quality is completely available for this engine
The oil selection calculators are on the oil producer's website.

leonov · Answer

Take it according to this

mkpl · Answer

@kkknc Valvoline meets this standard, but just out of curiosity goes somewhere to find a catalog with oils and a description of their quality? Because everywhere I am looking is just the class of viscosity is given and the elaborate name of the manufacturer. In the store, it's also foolish to change from right to left.

kkknc · Answer

On the website of the manufacturer of the oil you have everything. There are also product cards.

mkpl · Answer

@kkknc actually. Anyway, the author of the subject can pour what I have recommended. The oil is compatible with A3B3.

Fifiopel256 · Answer

I chose the German ROWE semi-synthetic oil 10W40, some new on the market, from what I know is nothing special but the price encouraged me - about PLN 60 for 4l. Thank you, I have completed the information on car oils, I take the above graphic to myself and I will be happy to use it when choosing oil, greetings!
