Do I Need to Switch to Antifreeze Engine Oil in Winter When Using Full Synthetic Oil?
1 Answers
Yes, antifreeze engine oil has lower viscosity and can protect the engine in winter. Starting the car in winter: After the vehicle has been parked outdoors in the cold overnight, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan, and its fluidity decreases at low temperatures. Therefore, wait a moment after turning on the power before starting the engine to reduce startup wear. Using the air conditioner in winter: Turning on the air conditioner before the engine warms up consumes more fuel and increases the engine's load. Thus, it's not advisable to use the air conditioner to defrost the windshield immediately after starting. After the vehicle has warmed up, activate the windshield heating function. Wait for the ice on the body and glass to gradually melt before starting to remove it, which will make the task much easier.
