hi dear friends,
i am an owner of a kia ceed 2013 1.4 crdi D4FC is the code of the motor. i have always used 5w30 oil and made 10.000 mile oil changes. so far so good. i have 60.000 miles on the odometer. right now i am going off the dealer for an oil change and the guy who sells oils says that i should go for a 0w40 or 5w40 oil instead of 5w30 C3 spec oil because of PDF filter. the oil is OEM Kia 5w30 low saps and doesn't burn at all. but i abuse the car a lot in the highway and the climate here is a bit hot (summer about 40 degrees celsius and above), lots of idling and A/C unit on. in the car manual, KIA wants a C2 or C3 oil. viskosity index shows 0w30, 5w30, 10w30 and 15w40 oils can be used. i have no problem with the oil so far but i want better protection of the motor.
i see that Aral oil guide and liqui moly oil guide suggest among other 5w30 oils and 5w40 c3 specs.
also what oil do you suggest ? castrol edge turbo diesel? aral hightronic?? thank you in advance
