Can Using the Wrong Oil Grade Increase Oil Consumption in Suzuki Bolan?

I recently switched to a different engine oil brand and viscosity for my Bolan, and now the engine seems to be consuming oil faster. Could using the wrong oil grade be the reason? What is the recommended oil type for Suzuki Bolan in Pakistani road and weather conditions?

Yes, using the wrong oil grade can significantly increase oil consumption. Each vehicle has a recommended oil viscosity based on the engine’s design. If the oil is too thin low viscosity for the temperature, it may not properly lubricate the engine, leading to oil burning. In contrast, if the oil is too thick high viscosity, it may not circulate well, which can cause improper lubrication, leading to increased wear and oil consumption.

Solution: Always use the recommended oil grade as specified by Suzuki for your Bolan. Typically, 10W-40 o r 20W-50 oil is preferred for Pakistani conditions. Check your owner’s manual o r consult with a mechanic to confirm the appropriate oil viscosity based on your climate and driving habits.
