Can BMW X1 use 0w40 engine oil?
1 Answers
BMW X1 can use 0w40 engine oil. The viscosity of 0w40 engine oil is higher than that of 0w20. Using engine oil with higher viscosity can reduce the phenomenon of oil burning. Introduction to engine oil: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining the basic properties of the lubricating oil. Additives can compensate for and improve the deficiencies in the performance of the base oil, giving it certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. Selection of engine oil viscosity: It should meet both low-temperature startability and high-temperature lubricity. Select the viscosity grade according to the region, season, and temperature, and try to use multi-grade oil. In winter in extremely cold areas, engine oil with ow, 5W, or OW/20 or 5W/20 multi-grade oil should be selected. In summer in hot areas, 40-grade oil or 20W/40-grade oil should be used.
