Ryan ... the guy selling it said it was good ... is the viscosity range of that oil similar to what is recommended for your swift and the oil is for a gasoline engine and not a diesel.It pays to be careful and for modern high stressed turbo engines use what the manuf says, is prudent.

Wouldn't recommend Pulzar and neither semi-synthetic for a new car like yours.

Also I think Suzuki recommends 5W30 for a Suzuki 1.2 engine (K12B) and not 10W40.

Also don't forget to change your oil filter together with the new oil otherwise an oil change is quite useless.

0w20 is the synthetic that will be used for thr 1.2 swift. Thats for fuel savings. The 5w30 should work as well.

From an oil website.

"Semi-synthetics" are oils which are a blend of petroleum oil and no more than 30% synthetic oil. If the manufacturer adds no more than 30% synthetic oil and does not change the additive package, they do not have to recertify the oil. These days, since everyone has agreed that Group III base oils are "synthetic," I'm not sure "semi-synthetic" means anything at all. The manufacturers love this stuff: it costs about 15% more to make the oil, and they get to charge about double. I don't recommend semi-synthetics. Save your money and take your kids to McDonalds.

What you bought probably won't do any harm.

Exactly.

5W30 for Semi-synthetic though

Has he changed the standard engine for a highly stressed turbo unit?

Cheers guys, well I have just done 2000km init and drove fine, I also saw the big pulzar head office driving into BKK, as it was massive it gave me some confidence heh, seems like your standard oil here, thanks for the replies

As far as I know, Pulzar doesn't make their own oil but buy it OEM from ?.

it's not bad, but not great either.
