Hi
I have recently owned second hand Ford S-Max, 2000cc 240 hp gasoline, 2012 model.
In manual, it advices to use 5w-30 synthetic motor oil. I live in Maputo, so average day degree in 6 months around 35Celcius, another 6 months around 25-28 degrees. Even nights, colder days not decreasing below 14-15 Celcius.
My question is, mostly people using here 10w-40 or 5w-40 for those kind of cars. Is there any big difference to use these oils in this climate condition? I want to use what manual says but want to confirm also, I do not have too much info about motor oils.
