NEVER CHANGE YOUR CAR'S OIL GRADE / OIL WEIGHT

I don't understand how this video has more comments than likes. Anyway, this channel deserves far more likes and subscribers.

[@adityagupta4745]

Talked correctly about the pressure but there's a minor hiccup. Both would work fine for a given temperature, the upper limit would widely vary at higher temps. So I think both perform similarly given the temperatures. Thus, your argument is kind of dependent on temperature as the w40 or w30 means the optimal flow and viscosity rate of that particular oil at its highest operating temperature. So technically you can use 5w30, given you live in a cool temperature area.

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir i mentioned that as well , ( when i said " 5w30 is ok till 30 , but the real problem starts when it starts to reach 31-40" )

Should i try any other better oil or keep sticking to the VW Special D 5w40? Or should i try Liqui Moly Toptec 4100 5w40 Or Amsoil 5w40 European spec red cap bottle

So ideally for an engine rated xWy, you can go lower on x and higher on y upto a certain limit. Hence for 5w30 you can go 5w40, 0w40, 0w30 but not 0w16 or 10w40.

[@yourDIYneeds]

Yes sir , that's correct , but only for people who really push their engines , like track days , else 5w40 is just fine for everyday driving

[@ZAI0001]

can i use 15W40 instead of 5W40 untill i fix the engine oil leakage?

[@yourDIYneeds]

If your city's ambient temperature never goes below 10°C then yes you can go for 15w40 , but honestly that answer is purely based on physics , ideally its not advisable

Hi need ur assistance, i have vw polo 1.5 tdi 2016 facing very weird issue After driving 100 kms glow plug signs come up and turbo drops When ignition re started its again back yo normal and runs fine below 85 kms But again same issue if speed increased I showed the same to one of my mechnc near my home And he confirmed n95 issue got it replaced still issue not resolved

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir considering that on 85kmph the engine speed is close to 15-1600 rpm , exactly the range from where the turbo is supposed to spool Just check the turbo charge pressure lines and hoses for any leaks ( intercooler as well ) MIL is showing up due to difference between the specified value and actual value ( what ECU is expecting and what its getting ) Hope it helps

Wonderful and very informative videos as usual. I have a polo 2013 TDI Highline, can I replace my headlight assembly with the double-barrel ones in the new-gen polo? Do you recommend the after-market projector ones? I am not sure about the quality. The stock ones on my vehicle are pathetic for nighttime driving.

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir if you want to have proper usable light on road the OEM double barrel lamps are the best for that , aftermarket lights are mostly cosmetic and usability of the light is questionable . And if you want to swap for OEM , as far as i know its a direct plug and play with just 1 wire which needs to be adjusted .

What about the VW 504/507 oil grade? That oil is only available in 5w30 viscosity. Both Liqui moly and Amsoil are a providing that viscosity in 5W30.

Sir yes 504/507 approval are available mostly in 5w30 because both the approval and the engine for which those approval are made , are relatively new , almost every new vehicle is coming now with 5w30 and there also are vehicles which are using 0w16

[@NavjotSingh_993]

@@yourDIYneeds So I think in your video it should be concluded that any other 'XYZ' 5w30 oil which does not meets the VW specifications should not be used in VAG cars, that 5w30 oils are harmful for TDI/TSI engines, not the approved VW 5w30 oils. Generally the 5w30 oils are used for extended drain intervals (30k Kms) in the Europe, but in the Indian weather and stop go traffic it is not suitable. So we should stick to the 15k or 1 year criteria. The newer gen EVO TSI engines now require 0W20 oils and that only provides VW OEM oil and in aftermarket only the Liqui Moly.

[@abhishekchaudhary9542]

@@NavjotSingh_993 What he meant was, if your manual suggests 5W40, then don't go for 5W30. Nowhere did he mentioned about the VW standards. It is best to use oils that come with VW specifications, but if you cannot find them, any good oil with same grade should do. But make sure to change the oil earlier than specified in the manual. I've known a person, who didn't used VW specified oils for his VW TDI and yet his car runs perfectly at 1,00,000 kms. What he did was, changed his oil before the manual recommended interval and he sticked to 5W40 grade oil.

[@yourDIYneeds]

Sir exactly , an oil without approval will work ( no approval means , that specific oil doesn't have all the required additive package which is required by engine to perform its best ) And this video was not just for VW owners it was meant for everyone , so thats why i didn't mention any approval or comparison of India vs european intervals . The whole crux was , if you have a vehicle which is like 5-6 yrs old and uses 5w30 or 5w40 and you want to switch to 0w20 , its not a good Idea , because your engine is not designed for it . I used 5w30 and 5w40 as just examples.

For india it’s better to use 5w40 or 0w40 as it performs well in hot temperatures, 5w30 better for colder European weather !!! 5w30 0w30 5w40 and 0w40 all suitable for VW TDIs

Sir thats because there are very few oils , which are 5w40 and have a approval of vw507 , most of vw507 oils are 5w30 , and those manuals are almost carried from their European counterparts

[@thomast4479]

Sir, as far as I know, there are no 5w40 oils with VW 507 00 approval. All VW 507 00 oils are 5w30. VW 507 00 supercedes 505.01. As per Lubrizol relative performance comparison tool, VW 507 00 seems to be highly demanding when it comes to wear protection, sludge , oxidation, deposits etc. So I think VW 507 00 will have better additive package in it. Sir, would you be able to do a video explaining the vacuum system in Tdi engines when you have a chance?

[@yourDIYneeds]

Will do it sir. Yes 507 surpasses the vw505.01 but the older tdi engines are designed for 5w40 , Tolerances and clearensis are designed keeping the viscosity of oil in mind . Engine which has t 5w40 will have more clearance in between ( crank and con-rod , cam and cam-seats ) As compared to an oil which is 0w16

[@abhishekchaudhary9542]

​@@yourDIYneeds The earlier K series engine (UPTO 2011/12) require a 5W30 grade Engine oil. But later on, Maruti modified the engine to use low friction pistons, rings and bearings. Thus the later cars came with a 0W20 recommendation which again in 2017 was changed to 0W16. 0W16 will cause unecessary stress on the engine components. If your manual recommends 5W30, you can switch to 5W40 but nothing greater than that. 0W16 will cause severe engine damage. If you want better mileage, the best you can do is to buy a ACEA A5/B5 certified engine oil. If will make sure you get better mileage and stick to your company's recommended grade, since it is a thinner oil than normal 5W30. Also switch to fully synthetic.
