Is Shell Helix HX5 10W40 Oil Semi-Synthetic?
1 Answers
Shell Helix HX5 10W40 oil is not semi-synthetic oil. Methods for choosing suitable motor oil for vehicles: Selecting the appropriate viscosity: When choosing motor oil, it's best to use multi-viscosity lubricants. Multi-grade lubricants (also called multi-weight oils) exhibit properties of light oil at low temperatures and heavy oil at high temperatures. In applications where multi-grade oils are recommended, one multi-grade oil can replace multiple single-grade oils. Choosing oil according to seasons: Although multi-grade oils can meet the needs of extremely cold and warm seasons as well as heavy-duty engines - especially for diesel engines that don't have cold-start difficulties - single-viscosity lubricants are usually recommended as they benefit engine lubrication and extend engine lifespan.
