Read from manual for Kia Carens 2010, with Theta Engine 2.0L, saying it is recommended to use 5W20 engine oil for fuel economy. Any good 5W20 can be recommended here, to purchase in Singapore ?

For new engines (i.e. New cars), using 'thinner' EO is manageable... But if engine is old, then a 'thicker' EO shd be used...

Thanks everyone, yes, it is a new engine, and I wish to get good FC, so it will be ok to try 5W20. What is the website of Autoback ? Or where is it located, and contact number ?
