Most parts places cater to what the market wants, and not what the market needs to use, ergo the popularity of 20w50. Compunded to this is all the untrained mechanics recommending the wrong oil, and you get a society averse to using the correct lubricants.
I sometimes stock w20 oils, but with no established customer base for it, its future is uncertain at my shop.

If you're looking for a competent Swift grage, check out Auto Technica Workshop. They are Swift specialists.
The pcv valve relieves pressure from the cylinder head cover. If it sticks open, the engine may burn oil.
