oil weight 1.9L vs 2.4 L
oil weight 1.9L vs 2.4 L
Hi gang. Just changed my oil for the first time on my 2009 2.4L. Was surprised to see that 5W20 is the recommended weight. Truthfully, I always wondered how 5W30 was thick enough for the old 1.9L. how do engine designers set up the clearances to work with thinner oils? I understand why thinner oils are "greener" and appreciate that, but do we sacrifice bearing wear and engine life in the long haul?Any lube geeks out there....
