can i use this oil in my hyundia i30 2013 1.8lt
Yes. 10W30 is a most suitable viscosity for the i30, and the engine armour is a good oil. Used it over many years and provides good protection and never had a problem.
My toyota hilux single cab ln106 diesel 2.8. i changed to engine armour diesel 15w50 back when it had about 200,ooo kml..it now has just over 300,000..i live in nth queensland..i love 4x4 action..and graham kahill said in one of the dvds that it was the best engine oil for old engines..never had a problem..dont have a turbo but have extractors..been reading alot of forums on oils for older engines..was thinking about changing..thay say full synthetic is useless for older engines....please help..
Answering this question is a bit complicated. For old cars (1990s) these synthetic oils can damage the seals because of chemical additives which are used in the oil. Nowadays, synthetic oil has an enhanced formula which usually does not have bad impact on car seals. So if your car has no mechanical issue, there is no problem to use it, however, each brand of car is different from other one. Please first talk to your mechanic.

Is this oil suitable for a Toyota 200 series twin turbo diesel and Isuzu MUX?
The 200 series yes, if the mu-x is newer maybe look more towards full synthetic 10w30
Is this oil (10W - 30 Engine Armour) suitable for small appliance engines - from ride-on mowers, Honda powered 8KVA Generators to smaller Briggs & Stratton engines?? The specs seem to agree with manufacturers' requirements; but?? I do change engine oil in all small engines at six monthly intervals.
10w 30 is what I use in all my small engines, no problems at all.
Thank you.
Would this be suitable for a 1hz diesel landcruiser?
Yes will be fine.
My husband used cheap Woolworths brand oil in our Falcon for 285,000 km without a problem. He said regular oil changes are the key. How would anyone really know if the oil is doing the marvelous things the manufacturers claim unless the oil is analyzed in a laboratory each oil change and the engine stripped down after 300,000 km and compared to an engine using a different oil? A lot of people buy expensive oil and feel warm and fuzzy about looking after their engine, then sell the car before it's done 100,000 km.
Different engines require different oils the old generation engines don't need expensive synthetics but ordinary mineral oil
Synthetics are good if you want to extend oil changes as they are less temperamental to temp changes and have superior additives to keep oil in good condition longer. 10,000km to 15,000kms If you change the oil frequently mineral is fine. 5000km-10000kms
Suit this 10w-30 or 10w-40 for Holden Adventra V8 5.7L?
probably 10W30 if low miles on it otherwise 10W/40 if over 100k or for severe driving conditions.
is 15/40 suitable for subarau impreza 2008 non turbo or is 10/30 better?
If 15w 40, is what Subaru suggest, then you are better off sticking with it its a thicker oil when cold and when warm and will protect your engine better, however if Subaru suggest to run 10w30, then swapping to 15w 40 during winter or as the car gains more km will prolong the engines life
