Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 is best then Castrol Edge 5W40..Mobil 5W40 is not very good oil and way lower than these oils..Mobil has excellent oil in 0W40, 5W30 grades

If money no issue, buy Motul Xcess 5W40 otherwise Castrol/Liqui Moly Molygen is good

Re: swift vxi petrol service help
If you don't use it much then why are you buying synthetic in the first place ? Synthetic is meant for high running.
Use semi synthetic castrol. Should be about 1400rs.

Re: swift vxi petrol service help
I always change mineral oil within 5-6k kms. Will not recommend you to use till 10k.

Let's say , You are spending 4k on synthetic oil to use for 2 years.
Why dont you spend 1400rs every year on semi synthetic ?
Dont go for mobil 0w40 fully synthetic. It's unfeasible.
Don't get confused more. Get castrol semi synthetic and get it changed every year.
Btw what's your swift's interval period ?

Re: swift vxi petrol service help
Its not a good idea to use any oil for more then 1 year. The oil will degrade even if its not used.
Mineral oil should be charged every 6 months, semi-synthetic upto 10-12 months and fully synthetic can be charged every year.
Since you don't use your vehicle regularly, I too suggest you Castrol Magnatec which is semi-synthetic and it works out cheaper. Change it every year and you'll be fine. Either 5w40 or 10w30 but I'm not very sure about grades for your car.
p.s Mobil 1, Liqui Moly, Motul and etc are preferred brands for fully synthetic oil.

Re: swift vxi petrol service help
My bad, its 5w30 and 10w40 available grades in Castrol Magnatec.
Since your car manual recommends 5w30, you can go for it.
0w20 is available from Shell Helix HX8 and Servo MGO which are specially made for Maruti Suzuki cars and I think ASC uses this grade.
