Engine oil for Mexico vehicles...

[SiskRifles]

Seems I remember someone posting that the Mavericks sold in Mexico ran a different viscosity oil than the US models do. Is that correct ?

No, it is 5W-30 for the Ecoboost and 0W-20 for the hybrid, just like US/Canada.

What is it with people and oil threads?

 

[SiskRifles]

Thanks for the info.....and oil is fun to talk about

No, it is 5W-30 for the Ecoboost and 0W-20 for the hybrid

Or 5W-30 and 0W-20 in Spanish.

Goody another oil thread.

Corn oil...

Oil? It's just tequila

 

[Maverick123]

Stop lying! Here in Canada we run -20w0
(or maple syrup if that's all you have lying around)

 

[HeyBales]

probably was thinking of Argentina:

Or Europe for hybrid - so perhaps Spain?

That's a slippery subject.

That's a slippery subject.

On a slippery slope.

In Mexico, the so so down there, it’s the PEMEX brand there.
But it’s a valid, slippery point.

The US EPA requires vehicles to hit a certain mpg so US vehicles get lighter oils than their foreign conterparts.

The Motor Oil Geek on Youtube has avfresh video that deals with oil viscosity (and the GM 6.2 engine failures) that is eye opening.

Yea, the vehicle mfr into thin oil for slicker engine (fiction). From what I read, the GM 6.2 has a cavity area where oil deposits accumulate and that restricts oil flow to crankshaft lube tunnels, and bearings fails.
