Recommended engine oil for swift petrol
2005-2011 (1st Generation Swift Petrol)
This maruti swift 2005 to 2011 model requires 3.1L of engine oil and the recommended engine oil for swift petrol is API SG+ with SAE 5W-30 grade, a mineral-based option for everyday driving.
In India, it delivers an ARAI-certified mileage of about 16-18kmpl, with real-world figures around 14kmpl in city traffic and 18kmpl on highways
2011-2017 (2nd Generation Swift Petrol)
Oil capacity remains at 3.1L. Opt for API SL SAE 0W-20 for better cold starts and efficiency. This swift petrol engine oil grade helps in smoother performance.
Mileage improved to 18-20kmpl (ARAI), with users reporting 15kmpl in cities and 19kmpl on highways in India
2018-2021 (3rd Generation Swift Petrol)
the Capacity is 3.1L. and the recommended engine oil for swift petrol here is API SL SAE 0W-16 or 0W-20, fully synthetic for enhanced protection.
Swift petrol mileage in India averages 20-22kmpl (ARAI), but real tests show 14-16kmpl in urban areas and 20-22kmpl on open roads
2024-Onwards (4th Generation Swift Petrol)
Still 3.1L capacity of swift petrol. Stick to SAE 0W-16 API SL for optimal results.
This latest model boasts ARAI mileage of 24.8kmpl for manual and 25.75kmpl for automatic variants. In real Indian driving, expect 18-20kmpl combined, thanks to the efficient Z-Series engine
NOTE: For all petrol models, using the right swift engine oil grade like 0W-16 can improve mileage by reducing friction. If you’re in colder regions, lower viscosity oils aid easier starts.
Recommended engine oil for swift diesel
2005-2011 (1st Generation Swift Diesel)
The 1st Generation Swift Diesel Requires 3.1L of oil. The swift diesel engine oil grade is ACEA A5/B5 or A3/B4 with SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40.
Recommended engine oil for swift diesel includes synthetic blends for sludge resistance.
What is the mileage of Swift diesel? ARAI claims 20-22kmpl, with real Indian figures at 18kmpl city and 24kmpl highway
Swift diesel mileage in India is around 23.8kmpl (ARAI), translating to 20kmpl in mixed conditions
2011-2017 (2nd Generation Swift Diesel)
oil capacity was 3.1L. and Use SAE 5W-30 ACEA A5/B5 as the primary swift diesel engine oil grade for better mileage and engine life.
Swift diesel mileage in India is around 23.8kmpl (ARAI), translating to 20kmpl in mixed conditions
2018-2020 (3rd Generation Swift Diesel)
3.1L capacity of 3rd generation swift diesel engine and Recommended engine oil for swift diesel is SAE 5W-30 MGDO, a lightweight synthetic for performance.
Mileage peaks at 25.2kmpl (ARAI), with users getting 22kmpl on highways and 18kmpl in cities across India
The Swift diesel engine oil capacity is generally standardized at 3.1L across most years and generations, with very early models sometimes noting up to 3.2 liter
NOTE: Differences are negligible for practical maintenance, and you should always refer to your owner’s manual for precise recommendations for your year and variant.
swift engine oil change km
For the Maruti Swift (both petrol and diesel) in India, the recommended engine oil change interval is every 10,000 KM or 12 months, whichever comes first.
This schedule applies to most model years and should be followed to maintain engine health and warranty validity.
- First oil change: 1,000 km or 1 month (initial service)
- Second oil change: 5,000 km or 6 months (initial service)
- Regular interval: Every 10,000 km or 12 months thereafter (includes both petrol and diesel Swifts from 2005 through current models)
If you drive frequently in severe conditions—such as heavy stop-and-go traffic, dusty roads, or extreme climates—changing oil slightly sooner (between 7,500–10,000 km) can be beneficial.
swift petrol and diesel mileage
The latest Maruti Swift petrol delivers 24.8–25.75km ARAI-rated mileage, with CNG options achieving above 32km/kg.
