Recommended engine oil for Dzire petrol
Choosing the right swift dzire engine oil grade ensures optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity across India’s varied driving conditions.
The Maruti Swift Dzire’s oil requirements vary by model year, engine type, and variant, including the unique Front Left (F/L) model.
Dzire 1.2L K12M Petrol engine
The 2010 to 2012 models 1.2L K12M (BS4) engine recommended SAE 5W-30 API SG+/SM , and its ideal for older models in hot climates.
In the 2nd Generation models 2012–2015 the K12M petrol engine (84 bhp, 114 Nm) requires 3.1L of SAE 5W-30, API SL/SM engine oil.
and For facelift models (K12M F/L, especially 2015–2025), the engine remains the same 1.2L K12M. Oil recommendations are identical—SAE 0W-20 grade
Dzire 1.2L K12N Petrol engine
after that, in the BS6 era (2020 to 2025), the Dzire received the enhanced 1.2L K12N DualJet petrol engine.
For these updated BS6 models, the manufacturer recommends even lower-viscosity oil 0W-16, API SL. This oil supports the DualJet’s improved thermal efficiency and stricter emission control.
Dzire 1.2L Z12E Petrol engine
In the latest Swift Dzire (from 2024 onward) adopts the all-new Z12E three-cylinder petrol engine.
For this advanced powertrain, continue to use 0W-16, API SL grade fully-synthetic engine oil. The typical engine oil filling capacity for the Z12E remains around 3.1 litres
Recommended engine oil for Dzire Diesel
Selecting the right swift dzire diesel engine oil grade ensures efficient turbo-diesel performance, fuel economy, and engine longevity for the 1.3L DDiS engine across India’s varied conditions.
Dzire 1.3L D13A Diesel Engine
From the 1st generation (2008–2017) through to the end of diesel production in the 3rd generation (2020), the primary recommended engine oil is 15W-40, API CF-4/ACEA B3/B4 for earlier models.
As engine technology evolved, especially after 2016, the preferred oil grade shifted to 5W-30, ACEA A5/B5 for improved cold-start performance and stricter emission norms.
The typical engine oil filling capacity for all Swift Dzire 1.3L diesel variants is 3.1 litres.
Swift dzire engine oil change interval
Both Petrol and Diesel: Maruti recommends changing the engine oil every 10,000km or 12 months, whichever comes first
First oil change in new cars is typically at 1,000km or 1 month, especially for older models
Swift Dzire Mileage in India
Mileage is a key concern for Indian Dzire owners
With mileage up to 25.71 kmpl for (petrol) and 28.4 kmpl for (diesel), proper maintenance ensures efficiency. Calculate your mileage with our mileage calculator
Final Thought
Maruti Swift Dzire, when maintained with the correct engine oil, enjoys higher fuel efficiency, smoother operation, and long-term durability.
Refer to your specific year and engine type for exact requirements, and when in doubt, consult the latest Maruti service manual or your authorized service center.
