Is 5w30 or 5w40 better for the Verna?
1 Answers
The owner's manual for the Verna recommends using either 5W-20 or 5W-30 as the dedicated engine oil, so 5W30 is sufficient. Engine oils are classified into different grades because different engine models and operating conditions require different oil specifications. Related information: 1. Oil grade: 5w30 represents the oil grade, where the number before the W indicates the minimum operating temperature the oil can withstand. For example, 5W can endure temperatures as low as -30°C. W grades include 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, etc. The smaller the number, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, allowing it to perform better in cold conditions. The number after the W represents the oil's viscosity at 100°C, with grades such as SAE20, 30, 40, etc. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 2. Oil performance: Most vehicles today use multi-grade oils, which contain various special additives. These additives enable the oil to flow easily and resist solidification in low temperatures while maintaining appropriate viscosity and good lubrication performance in high-temperature environments.
