Does Pakistan’s hot climate contribute to increased oil consumption in the Honda City?

Higher temperatures can cause engine oil to thin out and burn more quickly. Does Pakistan’s hot weather and stop-and-go traffic conditions accelerate oil consumption, and should owners switch to a different oil viscosity in the summer?

Pakistan’s hot climate can indeed accelerate oil consumption in the Honda City. High temperatures cause engine oil to thin out, which leads to faster oil burn and higher consumption rates. Additionally, frequent stop-and-go traffic conditions in urban areas like Karachi and Lahore further exacerbate engine strain, leading to increased oil usage. To address this, owners can consider using a higher-viscosity oil in the summer months to prevent the oil from thinning too much. Regular oil changes and keeping the engine well-maintained can help mitigate this issue.
