Here are the specific differences between full synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil: 1. Different base oils: Semi-synthetic oil uses Group III base oil; full synthetic oil is a mixture of Group III, IV, and V base oils. Full synthetic oil has a higher grade of base oil selection compared to semi-synthetic oil. 2. Different replacement intervals: Semi-synthetic oil should be replaced every six months or 7,500 kilometers during use; full synthetic oil should be replaced every year or 10,000 kilometers during use. 3. Different operating temperatures: Full synthetic oil has a wider operating temperature range. Under the same working conditions, full synthetic oil can protect the engine with a lower viscosity, while semi-synthetic oil has relatively higher usage requirements.

What Type of Engine Oil is Best for Winter?

Winter requires the use of engine oil with viscosity grades starting with 5W or 0W. Below is a relevant introduction to winter engine oil selection: Temperature suitability for 5W or 0W: 5W can handle temperatures above -30°C, while 0W is suitable for temperatures around -35°C. For most regions, 5W viscosity is sufficient. However, if temperatures drop to around -30°C, 0W viscosity is recommended. Precautions for engine oil use: The numbers following the viscosity grade (20, 30, 40) should be selected based on the manufacturer's requirements. Generally, Japanese, Korean, and American vehicles are more suited to 20 or 30 viscosity, while German cars perform better with 30 or 40 viscosity. Always refer to the manual for the recommended specifications and avoid making choices based on personal preference.
