Recommended Engine Oil Grade for Maruti Jimny
Choosing the right oil is vital for the Jimny’s performance, especially for off-road use.
The Maruti Suzuki recommends SAE 0W-16 grade engine oil for all Jimny K15B petrol engines since their introduction in India.
Alternative Oils: Some service centers suggest 5W-30 or 0W-20, but 0W-16 is optimal for fuel efficiency and BS6 compliance. Avoid 0W-16 if you experience issues like engine overheating, as reported by some users.
Why 0W-16?
- Superior cold start protection: Low viscosity allows rapid oil flow during startup, minimizing engine wear.
- Enhanced fuel efficiency: Thinner oil reduces internal friction, translating to better mileage and efficiency.
- Meets BS6 emission norms: Supports the technical requirements for new, low-emission engines
