What are the types of Honda engine oil?
1 Answers
Currently, Guangqi Honda has designated three types of original engine oil for 4S stores: two mineral oils (SL, SM) and one fully synthetic oil (SM). It is best to use specialized engine oil for Guangqi Honda vehicles, as this oil is specifically developed and tuned for the performance of this engine. Genuine Shell engine oil is good, but there are many counterfeit products on the market, so be cautious when purchasing. If you are not an expert, it is not advisable to purchase it yourself. Once you choose an engine oil, it is best to stick with it and not switch back and forth. Below is a partial introduction to the functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication and wear reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Shock absorption and buffering: When the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, it suddenly increases the load on the piston, piston chips, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings. This load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, providing a buffering effect to the impact load.
