What brand is the special engine oil for GAC Honda?
1 Answers
GAC Honda's special engine oil uses Nisseki, a joint venture between Nippon Oil and Great Wall. For later maintenance and oil changes, you can choose brands like Mobil or Shell. The models of GAC Honda's special engine oil include 0W20, 5W30, and 5W40. GAC Honda has designated three types of original engine oil for 4S stores: two mineral oils (SL, SM) and one full synthetic oil (SM). The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it maintains viscosity at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing GAC Honda's engine oil is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new oil through the engine valve cover filler port, usually filling up to three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If any leaks are found, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check if the engine oil level is within the standard range.
