Suzuki Swift 2012 - What oil grade - Doc
Which oil should I use for my 2012 Swift 1.2 ?

The handbook is rather vague. It recommends a 0W-20 viscosity oil as it's "preferred" oil .. BUT ... also claims other viscosities such as 10W-40, 10W-30 or 5W-30 can also be used .

Then in the "Warranty and Service" book it recommends using 10W-30 .. in this case it stipulates Shell Helix HX7 oil.

So which one is it ... 0W-20 or 10W-30

Further confusion is that if I check the lube guide on the Castrol site it recommends Castrol Edge 0W-40 or Castrol Magnatec 10W-40

Simple way to find out. Go to your Suzuki dealer and ask, they will know better than 1000 "experts" on a web forum who don't actually own a 2012 Suzuki Swift but think they do. Take a suitable bottle with you and they may well give you some if you only need a top up.
