Is 0w40 or 5w40 engine oil better for the Magotan?
1 Answers
Magotan's engine oil selection should be based on regional differences. Below is a detailed explanation regarding oil selection: 1. 0W40 engine oil has better low-temperature performance than 5W40 engine oil, hence the 0W40 is more expensive than 5W40. The number before W represents the oil's low-temperature resistance capability: 0W indicates resistance down to -35°C, while 5W indicates resistance down to -30°C. The number after W represents the oil's viscosity. 2. If the vehicle is driven in northern regions where temperatures are relatively lower, it is recommended to use 0W40 for better performance. If the vehicle is driven in southern regions, 5W40 would be sufficient to meet the vehicle's needs. The difference between these two engine oils is not significant, and their functions are generally similar.
