No car can operate normally without engine and transmission oil. Moreover, it is very important that the liquid is of the highest quality. The durability of all vehicle mechanisms depends on this.
Special lubricating products have been developed for Japanese Suzuki vehicles. In order for the automatic transmission to retain its functionality for a long time, it is necessary to use only original oils. Suzuki ATF 3317 grease has proven itself very well. It can be considered an ideal option for automatic transmissions.
Choosing engine oil for Suzuki
Suzuki ATF 3317
Of course, it is very expensive. This sometimes stops drivers from looking for a cheaper product. It is very difficult to justify this approach. After all, if you want your "iron friend" to be on the move all the time and never break, then you need to understand that only good lubricants can prolong his life.
Suzuki ATF is designed for certain types of transmission. In the technical manual, Japanese manufacturers provide detailed information on its composition. Any substitute, even the best one, will not be able to surpass the original Japanese grease in its functional properties. Moreover, such a TM can only be used in a specific brand of car.
It has long been no secret that the use of cheap consumables leads to increased wear of engine parts, failure of the gearbox. Automatic transmission repair costs much more than any of the most expensive oils.
ATF 3317 properties meet all the requirements of an automatic transmission. The composition includes all the necessary components that protect the automatic transmission from rapid wear. The grease is highly resistant to heat. It can be safely operated in a wide temperature range.
What other engine oils can I fill in Suzuki
The duration of its operation without major repairs directly depends on the quality of the composition poured into the engine. Like the transmission, the engine requires only high quality lubrication. It becomes a guarantee of its long-term operation.
A wide range of motor oils are produced at Japanese factories. Among them, the most popular are Suzuki greases:
- 0w20,
- 0w30.
The optimal brand of car oil depends on the specific engine installed on the car. It is impossible to recommend a specific one. The fact is that Japanese cars are produced with different types of engines. Typically, the manufacturer gives in the technical manual for the machine accurate information about the fluid that is ideal for the unit.
The most popular is the 5w30 motor fluid. But before you buy it, you should read the manufacturer's recommendations. After all, the characteristics, even of the most popular oil, do not always coincide with the requirements of the internal combustion engine.
It is very important to use only the recommended engine oil. Suzuki grease was developed taking into account the specific type of engine. Therefore, the composition includes certain substances and original additives that extend the life of the engine. They keep it clean, remove harmful deposits and reliably protect against corrosion.
Always consult an experienced technician before using a Suzuki genuine oil substitute. There is an opinion that the low quality of Russian fuel, which contains a lot of sulfur, has a negative impact on the efficiency of the motor oil.
The master may advise you to use a substitute for Suzuki 0w20 - the engine will work perfectly on 5w30 engine oil.
In the 1980s, Suzuki began developing lubricants in order to achieve the optimum formula for Suzuki engines. The result of many years of work by Suzuki engineers is ECSTAR engine oil.
ECSTAR synthetic oils are developed and manufactured in Japan. They are designed to work in modern gasoline 4-stroke engines, including turbocharged engines!

The task of ensuring optimal performance of the power unit of a car, maximizing its durability, effectively protecting parts and assemblies from friction at high speeds is relevant both for novice motorists and for experienced car owners. Of great importance in this is motor oils, which are called the blood of a motor, which, in turn, is an analogue of the heart.
Currently, there are a large number of well-known brands developing independently of automakers, but many well-known automotive brands are trying to produce lubricants that ideally meet the requirements for modern engines of various types.
Japanese companies producing passenger cars were especially distinguished in this aspect. In particular, the Suzuki concern has long been successfully engaged in the manufacture of lubricants, and Suzuki 5W30 engine oil has managed to win the trust of the owners of both cars of this brand and other common foreign cars.
Features of motor lubrication
Genuine Suzuki Motor Oil Series lubricants are oils with truly outstanding performance. The specialists of the Japanese company made a special bias towards the maximum efficiency of their motor lubricants, having succeeded in this direction.
And yet, the main feature of these engine fluids should be considered their ability to provide a protective effect against premature wear of each unit of the power unit. This is achieved by using an optimal complex of additives, including organic molybdenum, a substance that has had a revolutionary effect on the wear-resistant properties of motor oils.
Suzuki Motor Oil series automotive oils have a wide range of advantages that distinguish them from similar products from other auto chemical manufacturers:
- operation of the engine in the optimal mode with the most stable performance throughout the entire life of the oil until the next change;
- the ability to work in a very large temperature range;
- the possibility of saving up to 5% of diesel or gasoline fuel by minimizing losses due to friction of rotating engine components;
- effective protection of the power unit from erosion due to extreme operating conditions;
- compliance of the characteristics of the grease and its composition with most of the world standards and specifications.
According to API specification Suzuki 5W30 grease is assigned SM grade, in accordance with ILSAC specification - GF4 grade. Suzuki car owners know that the carmaker recommends using only Suzuki brand oil (or an almost identical lubricant) for any engines installed on vehicles of its own production.
The engine oil should be changed within the scheduled time specified in the operating manual. Failure to comply with these requirements can cause damage to the power unit and the need for costly repairs. Consequences of using non-original oils with inappropriate characteristics:
- increase in average fuel consumption indicators by 10 - 30%;
- a significant reduction in the resource of the power unit in comparison with the declared manufacturer;
- an increase in the number of emissions that pollute the atmosphere;
- noticeable decrease in engine efficiency, efficiency and thrust.
Suzuki 5W30 lubricant product avoids all of these symptoms, ensuring trouble-free operation of your vehicle's powertrain.
Specifications
Suzuki Motor Oil 5W30 is a high quality engine lubricant designed for all types of modern engines, including turbocharged versions.
Properties of the original lubricant:
- good temperature parameters, focused on engine operation in extremely low temperatures (including the arctic climatic zone);
- excellent antioxidant characteristics that significantly increase the service life of the power unit as a whole and its individual units;
- the ability to lightweight engine start in the widest temperature range (from minus 45 to plus 50 degrees);
- the pour point of the grease is -42 ° C, however, even at lower temperatures, it is possible to start the motor without problems;
- this engine oil ensures efficient, stable, uninterrupted operation of all components of the power unit;
- being manufactured by specialists working closely with the creators of engines for cars of this brand, Suzuki 5W30 synthetic oil is considered ideally compatible with internal combustion engines, which are equipped with almost all models of the Japanese brand;
- having approvals from many Asian, European and North American automakers, the engine can be used for filling engines of other brands of cars, provided that the viscosity class in accordance with the SAE specification coincides.
The lubricant additive package provides a full range of properties characteristic of modern engine oils: lubricating, cooling, anti-corrosion, cleaning (anti-friction), sealing.
Main technical characteristics of Suzuki Motor Oil 5W30:
- dynamic viscosity (at a temperature of 40 ° C) - 64.56;
- kinematic viscosity (at a temperature of 100 ° C) - 11.05;
- viscosity index - 163;
- pour point: -42 ° С;
- grease density (at a temperature of 15 ° C) - 0.865;
- alkalinity - 8.5;
- sulphated ash index - 0.90;
- ignition temperature - 220 ° C.
Forms of release, articles
In all markets, including North American and European, Suzuki Motor Oil 5W30 is available in three packaging options:
- in liter canisters (article 99M0021-R02001);
- in four-liter plastic containers (article 99M0021-R02004);
- in 200 liter drums (article 99M0021-R02200).
Currently, there is no data on the possibility of purchasing counterfeit products, which increases the level of loyalty of car owners to the lubricants of this brand.
However, many motorists note that Suzuki 5W30 oil with the article number of one- and four-liter containers is practically indistinguishable in its technical characteristics from Idemitsu brand oils, although the cost of the latter is noticeably lower.
But those who read the labels very carefully, as they say, from cover to cover, know that Idemitsu Kosan is indicated as the manufacturer of Suzuki oil.
There is no contradiction in this - Idemitsu Kosan Company is a very famous Japanese company specializing in the oil and oil refining market. With more than 100 years of history, Idemitsu ranks second in terms of oil refining in the Land of the Rising Sun, second only to the Nippon Oil concern. This company is a developer and manufacturer of engine and transmission oils for most Japanese car manufacturers, including Toyota, Suzuki, Subaru, Honda.
Idemitsu - an analogue of Suzuki engine oils
Indeed, in the Idemitsu line of motor lubricants there is a liquid of the Zepro Eco model (Touring 5W-30 / Medalist 0W20). They are considered the prototypes of Suzuki oil, however, it cannot be argued that these are absolutely identical products.
In particular, according to the API specification, Suzuki Oil is assigned the SM class, and according to the ILSAC specification, the GF4 class. Idemitsu Zepro oils have an API class - SN ILSAC class - GF5. This means that Idemitsu lubricant can be used to fill biofuel engines, this grease is characterized by greater fuel economy, improved protection against corrosion and wear, as well as the formation of deposits and sludge.
At the same time, Suzuki oil is characterized by a lower alkalinity index (5 instead of 7 for Idemitsu Zepro), which indicates a high lubricant potential in terms of service life. The flash point is also slightly lower, and this indicator has a direct impact on the level of oil consumption as a result of burnout.
In any case, you can be sure that Suzuki 5W30 oil (regardless of the article) will provide an easy start of the power unit in frosts up to 40 degrees, which is important for many regions of our country.

Currently, the lion's share of car owners stop bothering themselves with going to a car service in order to change the oil in the engine of their own car. Increasingly, they are resorting to the practice of changing oil with their own hands, although not all of them know the correct algorithm of actions. Let's take a closer look at this whole process using a car as an example. Suzuki vitara .
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION
1) Changing the oil in the engine is possible only with a warm power unit, so the first thing to do in this situation is to put the car on a pit or overpass and warm up the engine.2) Next, it is necessary to dismantle the additional crankcase protection, because its presence will complicate access to the oil filter.
3) After that, we install a container under the engine to collect used oil. It is important that the container holds at least five liters of fluid and has a significant diameter of the neck (preferably a 5 liter canister), otherwise oil may fall on the floor, soil or any other sensitive surface over which the car is located.
4) Unscrew the oil drain bolt and wait for the complete drain of the fluid from the engine.
5) Change the oil filter. To do this, you need a special filter remover, with which the filter should be unscrewed counterclockwise. In the absence of this tool, an ordinary metal pin will do, with which the filter can be pierced and rotated.
6) Install a new filter, after having lubricated its rubber seal with fresh oil. Wrap it up until the rubber gasket touches the seat and turn it на turn.
7) We screw back the oil drain bolt and process it with a rag. In the future, this will help to more easily identify oil leakage at the time of starting the power unit.
8) Fresh engine oil must be poured through the oil drain and screwed on with the cap.
9) We start the engine for a few minutes. At this time, we are waiting for the oil to drain into the pan and with a dipstick we check the oil level, as well as the connections of the oil filter and the fluid drain cap for leaks.
HOW MUCH OIL TO PUMP INTO THE ENGINE?
How much oil should be poured into the Suzuki Vitara engine is described in the Service Manual. So, if you do not pour oil into the filter before installation, then for a 2-liter engine the volume of the liquid to be poured will be 4.7 liters, and for a 2.4-liter engine - 4.8.
As for the classification of engines and the required amount of oil for them, the situation is as follows:
- M16A: 4.5 liters
- J20A: 5 liters
- J24A: 5.2 liters
- N32A: 6.2 liters
OIL CHANGE FREQUENCY
Depending on the version and configuration of the Suzuki Vitara model, the oil in the engine is changed according to the regulations every 5-15 thousand km or once a year. In addition, the following factors affect the frequency:
- technical conditions of the Suzuki Vitara engine;
- intensity of vehicle operation;
- winter or summer season
- the quality of the oil itself.
The primary indicator of the frequency of engine oil change in a Suzuki Vitara is the age of the car. If the car was purchased "hand-held", then it is better to castling as early as possible from the moment of purchase. In the future, oil consumption, its level and condition should be kept under control. If the car is new, then the oil should be changed after a complete break-in.
To shorten the oil change period in the Suzuki Vitara engine affects:
- low quality gasoline;
- frequent driving on uneven surfaces;
- weighting of the machine;
- frequent downtime.
WHAT MOTOR OIL TO FILL?
The oil recommended for the Suzuki Vitara engine must have:
1) API classification: SG, SH, SJ. SL or SM;
2) viscosity characteristics: for 1.6 liter engines. and 2.4 liters. - SAE 0W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40, for 2.0 liter engines. and 3.2 liters. - SAE 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40.
When choosing an oil of a particular brand, the car owner should know that the parameters of the oil should not differ from those indicated above. It must also be remembered that it must be approved for use with the Suzuki Vitara engine. It can be seen on the label below.
Suzuki Motor Corporation recommends using its own brand name oil and serviced by an authorized dealer.
