[QUOTE="netmatrix, post: 3811583, member: 217"] If your saga is already 8 years old, without any noticable engine wear like white smoke, then you can continue to use 10/40 engine oils. But if you have white smoke problem use 20/50. The thick oil actually creates a seal at the piston rings and lessen the effect of white smoke. Do not use 10/30 because they are cheap! It would cause even more problems. If you have been using 20/50 for the last year, do not start to use 10/40. Then engine will wear out even if its a RM200 engine oil. [B]Unless the engine goes for an overhaul, then you can start to use those expensive synthetic oils.[/B] Many guys here recommend very expensive oils without taking into consideration engine life and condition. So be wise about it. My 79 toyota went though the process of "being smart but not intelligent" before. So i can tell you now. [/QUOTE]
