Can the new X-Trail use 0w20 engine oil?
1 Answers
The new X-Trail can use 0w20 engine oil, as recommended in the manual. The numbers in 0w20 engine oil represent: The number before 'W' indicates the freezing point temperature. For 0w oil, the corresponding freezing point temperature is -35 degrees Celsius. The number after 'W' represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100 degrees Celsius. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity of the oil. Viscosity index: The internationally recognized classification is the SAE classification, where SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers. In the SAE classification, there are low-temperature viscosity grades such as SAE 0W (W stands for Winter), 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. The smaller the number, the better the low-temperature performance.
