Hallo from Russia!!! I need information

[mbeach]

My dealer just referred me to Mobile 1 0W-30 oil. Apparantly that's what Isuzu has been telling them to switch customer cars over to in order to quiet valvetrain noise in the 3.5L motor.

The engine does idle smoother, I had no consumption issues before the switch, so I'll see if the oil is just blowing out the tailpipe now with such a light weight.

20w-50 is not a lighter weight then 10w-30.for cold weather you should use a 5w-30 or 5w-40 or the 0w-30 synthetic. shawn

mbeach, which oil do you use in front and rear axles?

[thebear54]

Sorry Alex, I forget a lot has changed over there. Yes use the Mobil 1 synthetic oil for normal changes. Go with a lighter 0w-30 for cold winter driving.
90 weight gear oil for the axles is the best.
Glad I could help you out a little.

Welcome to the board!

Since you're in Russia, what does the name Benkendorf mean to you?
