My son just bought a kia crdi with a 1000cc 3 cylinder turbo diesel.
And to my surprise does the manual say use oil with atleast CH ( no gas "S" in manual.)
This thing uses hdeo...
I wonder if the servce station ever used this kind of oil?
Anyway, i use 10w-40 hdeo in all of my stuff and havent had any trouble with that.
But my son doesent have access to an electrical outlet so he cant use the cars engine heater. It can get cold in the winter here (-30 degC/ extreme, -10/ normal, +-0/ common
and he have to get this thing started.
- With what should i dilute my lovley hdeo with to get things turning??
I can get 0w-30 b4 oil.
I can get all kinds of oils in the 5w-40 range and some 5w-30.
It will se a 8 k oci wich means tvice a year. Manual says 12 k and once a year for normal duty and 6 k for severe duty. He mostly commute on a highway so it gets run rather fast/ hard wich makes me place it inbetween severe and normal duty.
Right now it gets 44-50 mpg with minimal differences between city and highway driving.
