What are the Honda engine oil specifications?
1 Answers
Honda-specific engine oil specifications include 0W20, 5W30, and 5W40. Honda's original engine oil is sourced from Nisseki oil, a joint venture between Nisseki and Great Wall. Honda has various models, and different models with different engines use different engine oils. Below are detailed introductions to the engine oil specifications: Introduction to 0W20: Honda's purple barrel oil specification is SN-grade 0W20, which belongs to fully synthetic oil. 0W20 is the oil viscosity index. Introduction to 5W30: 5W30 has a low high-temperature viscosity and good fluidity, which can reduce fuel consumption and allow the engine to cool faster. W stands for winter. The number before W is 5, and the smaller the number, the better the oil's fluidity at low temperatures, indicating a lower applicable minimum temperature. 5W means it can be used at temperatures above -30 degrees Celsius. The number after W is 30, which refers to the oil's viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius. The larger the number, the higher the oil's viscosity, the stronger its resistance to high temperatures, and the better its high-temperature protection performance. Introduction to 5W40: 5W40 has a high high-temperature viscosity, is thicker, has poorer fluidity, higher resistance, but smaller fluctuations and greater stability.
