This viscosity is suitable for most operating conditions and provides a good balance between engine protection and fuel efficiency.
However, there may be some exceptions to this general rule based on climate and driving conditions.
For example, in extremely cold climates, a thinner oil such as 0W-30 may be better suited to ensure proper oil flow at startup.
On the other hand, in very hot climates or for high-performance driving, a thicker oil such as 10W-30 or even 10W-40 may be more appropriate to provide adequate engine protection under extreme conditions.
It is always best to refer to the owner's manual or seek advice from a qualified mechanic when choosing the best engine oil for your particular vehicle and driving conditions.
