Anyone using 0w20 Mobil-1 oil in Metro/Swift?
I was going to be really clever and change to Mobil-1 synthetic oil in 0w20 weight in my '99 Suzuki Swift 1.3 liter 4 cylinder for the ultimate low resistance deal. Engine is said to have about 7000 miles on it and is VERY "clean".
But my mechanic just about had a cow - is all worried it might ruin my engine, etc. MetroMPG said he's using it in his, and I told my mechanic, but he said something like, "Well yeah - in Canada - it's COLD. He can get away with it there."
So I guess my real question(s) are; 1) How hot does it get there, MetroMPG, and do you run the 0w20 all year round? And you said Mobil-1, right?
and 2) Does anyone living in a warmer climate use this stuff successfully?
On the one hand, I'm a bit annoyed at my mechanic for not just putting the stuff in like I wanted him to, but on the other hand, if he happens to be right, I'd sure hate to damage (or prematurely wear) my beautiful "new" 7000 mile engine for just another 1/2 mpg, or whatever.
Anyone? Thanx
