Popular: 5W-30 for modern petrol cars • 15W-40 for local diesel pickups • ISO VG 46 for many hydraulics.

Cars — Petrol & Diesel

Viscosity picks, synthetic vs mineral guidance, service intervals for Pakistani roads.

Key: Follow OEM viscosity + local climate adjustments.

Motorcycles

Wet-clutch compatibility (JASO MA/MA2), 2T vs 4T oils, and practical change intervals.

Trucks & Buses

Heavy-duty diesel oil grades (API CI-4 / CK-4), long-haul vs city duty recommendations, soot control tips.

Industrial Lubricants

Hydraulic oils (ISO VG), gear oils (GL-4/GL-5), compressor & transformer oils — selection and contamination control.

Quick Oil Finder (Start here)

Select your vehicle type, engine type and operating condition — the Oil Finder returns recommended viscosity and oil type (synthetic / semi-synthetic / mineral) with change interval advice.

Example: Small modern petrol cars in Karachi ➜ 5W-30, Full Synthetic, change every 10,000 km or 12 months (adjust for heavy city use).

Synthetic vs Mineral — What to choose?

Short answer: synthetics offer better high-temp protection and longer intervals, but match oil spec to OEM requirements and budget.

Viscosity & Pakistan Climate

High ambient temperatures (like Karachi summers) favour slightly higher film-strength and regular checks. For older engines, consider thicker grades where recommended by OEM.

Industrial Focus

For hydraulics and gearboxes, use ISO/AGMA/ACEA specs and monitor contamination (water, dust) closely; humidity and dust in Pakistani environments shorten oil life.

Can I use the same oil for bike & car?: No — motorcycle oils often need JASO MA spec for wet clutches. Cars & bikes have different additive needs.
Which oil is best for Karachi weather?: Modern petrol cars commonly use 5W-30 or 5W-40 synthetics; local diesel engines often use 15W-40. Always match OEM specs first.
