on our indian version the manual recommends 5w20 for max fuel economy and 5w30 for a balance between protection and fuel economy. But! our service dealers only fill 15w40 and the car as well came of the factory with 15w40 api-sl oil! The reason they say is to keep service costs low. No wonder most of the gasoline guys get an average of 11-12l/100km i changed to 0w40 mobil1 extended performance and started getting 7-8l/100km will try 5w30 on the next oil change.
