Hello guys.
1- I have a 2005 Kia Pride (manufactured by Saipa). The only API that manual recommends is SG grade ( same from 80s). I know newer APIs are better for engine, but why is that manufacturer never recommends newer APi oil grade if they are superior? The car has catalyst converter.
2- Saipa Manual says change oil at 6000 km or 1 year, but the oil bottle label that is specifically for saipa pride ( and sold by saipa) says change interval is 10000 km. Which one should I follow?
3- Why is that all oil manufacturer refer to car recommendation for change interval even if their oil last longer?
Thank you.
