Should the T-Roc use 5w30 or 5w40 engine oil?
1 Answers
T-Roc should use 5w30 engine oil. Reasons: Compared with 5w40, 5w30 has the same low-temperature fluidity but different high-temperature performance. 5w40 offers better high-temperature protection and sealing performance, but the increased viscosity leads to greater engine running resistance and higher fuel consumption. Considering the working characteristics of the T-Roc's engine, 5w30 engine oil is more suitable. Lubricating Oil: Lubricating oil is formulated from hydrocarbons refined from natural gas and crude oil. There is no clear international definition for synthetic oil, but generally, lubricating oil containing PAO is referred to as synthetic oil. Both laboratory and road tests have shown that this full synthetic oil ideally combines viscosity, lubrication, volatility, and cleanliness performance, maximizing engine protection while minimizing friction and fuel consumption.
