Hi everyone,
new poster, been a long time lurker. Could not find any "introduce yourself" section so I am posting my question.
I bought a Euro Accord Tourer 2.4 (Acura tsx wagon in the US) with 50k miles. Currently 76k miles the car runs great but burns around
1.5 liter per oil change (10000 km-6200 miles). Been using Motul oils for since I got it, anything from xcess 5w40 and 5w30 to synergy 10w40.
My last change I decided to go with Eco-nergy 5w30 and the engine seems to like it, revs much easier and sounds great, quiet at idle.
So after reading around I am starting to understand that I can go thinner without any "risk" like you do in the US
I would like to try a real synthetic 0w20 to see how the car takes it and I found the Motul specific 508509:
Viskosität SAE J 300 0W-20
Dichte bei 20°C ASTM D 1298 0,833
Viskosität bei 100°C ASTM D 445 7.8 mm²/s
Viskosität bei 40°C ASTM D 445 38.5 mm²/s
Viskositätsindex ASTM D 2270 179
HTHS-Viskosität bei 150°C ASTM D 4741 2,5 mPa*s
Stockpunkt ASTM D 97 -52°C
Flammpunkt ASTM D 92 222°C
SulfataschegehaltASTM D 874 0,79 Gewichts-%
TBNASTM D 2896 8,3 mg KOH/g
I am in Switzerland, winter can be quite chilly here, the cars sees 98 % motorway use, most of the time long runs (700 miles journeys)
a few of the in german motorways.
Can I use this oil?
