The original 0w20 can be replaced with 5w30. Here is the relevant introduction about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is hailed as the "blood" of automobiles. Engine oil consists of two components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil based on their base oil (vegetable oil is not considered due to its scarcity). Synthetic oils are further categorized into full synthetic and semi-synthetic.
