Hi Ipgoogle

I believe a 5W/40 would be suitable or your car. ACEA B4 and then buy as good oil as possible

Check your manual all will be revealed.

So long as you comply with the requires specs, all will be ok

Your English is pretty good. I can understand it.

While I don't know what oil your car would take, I'm sure that somebody will be along shortly that does.

Shell Ultra 5W-40 is good, I use it myself

Thanks for replayes
I used now (Total engin oil 5w40)
And if found Shell Ultra 5W40 i will change to it

And want to ask another thing , i think my car spent alot of petrol ( 1 ltr = 8-9 km) is that normal or there is something wrong with car ?? I think its too much , and the petrol here so expensive 1 ltr = 1,49 $

What octane level is the fuel being used? if always used below 95 ( 91 octane fuel contains no cleaning additives ) then the injectors might need a good clean with some high octane fuel and a dose of good quality injector cleaning additive added to the fuel tank.

Also make sure the air filter is clean, depending on how dusty/dirty your roads are in your location I'd say every 15,000 to 30,000kms max for a new filter.

Economy would vary with differing terrain - hilly or flat, driving style - are you easy on the pedal or do you like to floor it?

I'm averaging about 15.6kms per ltr in my 1.6

I use always 95 octane , air filter and oil filter i change it with engine oil every 7,000 km
About driveing style mmmm it's depand on the mood hehehe , but how ever i drive i never reach 15.6 km per ltr .

The petrol filter i never change it till now they told me in carage it's change after 100,000 km , and BTW my car just drive 67,300 km from 2008 till now when i buy it in 2011 it was just 20,000 km.

How are you measuring your economy, by the cars trip meter/stated fuel usage, or are you calculating the distance travelled "divided" by fuel used?

8-9 km's to the ltr sounds more like a V8

If it is a 4 speed Auto transmission that would explain your economy. The Manual is much more economical usually.

I measure it by full the tank and go to any place ( example 80 km ) and when i reach i full the tank again then i see how much i pay $ change it to ltr so i can know exactly how much KM car used in 1 ltr petrol.

An yes its Auto transmission D,1,2,3
