Fanfaro 5W-30 API SL/CH-4 TSE

Hello Everyone,

As you might know we have an economic crisis here, the authorized dealer does not have 0-20 Oil, and i searched around i could not find 0-20 Oil anywhere, what i found is Fanfaro 5W-30 API SL/CH-4 TSE, i would like to know if it's good for the engine ?

Thanks!

Definitely tough times over there. Thoughts & prayers for u and your country.

If that’s the only oil u can find, I believe it’d be perfectly suitable for daily driving. Ideally API service category would “SN” but “SL” will have to do. Here’s a link to a forum with a lot more knowledge when it comes to oils.

Best of luck!

+1 to it should work. Not ideal on the API standard, but I run 5w30 and that weight is fine. Take it easy and good luck.
