Best 0w-20 oil available on the Danish market

[shDK]

Hallo all you lovely people.

As mentioned in another thread. The family recently got a new little Suzuki swift, and apparently it prefer 0w-20 oil. Some here might remember me not being too happy with those thin oils. But that engine have required 0w-20 since in got out in 2014. And have never had any other viscosity as preferred before. So I guess 0w-20 it will be.

The car will run on 15.000 km/1 year OCI. It will maybe be driven 3-4 times a week. Mostly 20-30 km highway trips( 110-130 km/h) My wife will be the driver. She is an angel when she is not behind the wheel. When she is behind the wheel, she drives it like she stole it. And the rpm limiter is often used. The car is a Suzuki swift 1.2 dual jet 90 horsepower.

Unfortunately 0w-20 is still a rare breed where I live. But I have found 3 different I can get fairly easy.

1 : Castrol Magnatec Professional GF 0W 20

2 : TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 FUTURE GF5 0W-20

3 :FUCHS TITAN SYN SN SAE 0W-20

What do you all think would be the best choice?

Thanks all

I would go with the Castrol. It appears to have the best cold performance properties and if those magnatec molecules work, then that's another level of protection for your wife's driving style.

i think it would be a better idea if you asked this in the European oils sub board

 

[shDK]

You have a point. But it does not require any acea spec. And is a Asien car.

All 3 of those are named brand, high quality oils...so I'd probably choose on price.

Do you have Toyota dealers in Demark? Get the TGMO 0w-20 if you do.

Out of those three I trust Fuchs above the others, but if you really want the best oil then Redline is the answer. That's not to say there aren't more cost effective and adequate solutions but they're not the best solutions, only adequate. Redline is the best.

regardless of the recommendation, I'd use a thin 30 weight (2.9 HTHS).

Anything with an ACEA A5/B5 rating really.

HTHS becomes important if you drive it like you stole it*, and there'll be no observable fuel economy benefit from going thin.

* the inertia of the piston assembly provides a very heavy load for the big end bearings at high rpm, higher than the actual load from a full cilinder igniting.

Redline 0w20 is 2.9HTHS, and ACEA A5/B5, details here http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=124&pcid=21

I know, but you could get 5 litres of another oil for 1 litre redline.
