How Many Kilometers Should Thor Engine Oil Be Replaced?
2 Answers
Repsol Thor engine oil typically lasts for 3,000-3,500 kilometers. Markings: The viscosity grade containing "W" indicates all-season applicability. The number preceding "W" denotes the minimum operating temperature – a lower number signifies better low-temperature fluidity and suitability for colder climates. Numbers: The digit following "W" represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. Higher values indicate greater viscosity and superior high-temperature stability. For older vehicles with reduced engine performance, lower-viscosity lubricants may be preferable. Always consult professionals when selecting engine oil specifications.
After driving for so many years, I often get asked about the right time to change engine oil. Thor oil is a good brand, and if it's fully synthetic, it's generally recommended to change it every 8,000 to 12,000 kilometers. However, this depends on your driving habits. For example, frequent city traffic jams or long-distance highway driving can accelerate oil degradation. I've developed a habit: check the dipstick every 5,000 kilometers. If the oil looks black or has impurities, change it early. Otherwise, waiting too long can damage the engine, and repairs will be more expensive. Another tip is to choose a reliable repair shop for oil changes—don’t cheap out with counterfeit products. Overall, sticking to regular maintenance is key to keeping your car running smoothly and fuel-efficiently.
