Is SP grade engine oil definitely better than SN?
1 Answers
SP grade engine oil is not necessarily better than SN, it mainly depends on the compatibility with different vehicle models. Advantages of SP engine oil: SP engine oil provides enhanced protection against low-speed pre-ignition, timing chain wear and elongation, bearing corrosion, and sludge control, while also offering better environmental performance. SP oil has stronger oil film formation than SN oil, delivering superior protective performance. Additionally, SP oil demonstrates stable improvements over SN oil in terms of noise reduction, fuel economy, and acceleration performance. Engine oil selection: If you frequently drive in congested urban environments, you may opt for higher-grade engine oil which is relatively more eco-friendly and economical. Choose based on your actual driving needs rather than blindly pursuing higher-grade oil, as prolonged use of excessively high-grade oil in engine cylinders may accelerate engine wear.
