What brand of engine oil is suitable for Nissan Sylphy maintenance?
2 Answers
Nissan Sylphy can use engine oil brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Great Wall for maintenance. Below is a relevant introduction to automotive engine oil: Functions of engine oil: Separating the surfaces of relatively sliding parts to reduce wear, bringing heat back to the oil tank and then dissipating it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine, and circulating carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. Engine oil quality grades: SA, SB, SC, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, where S represents gasoline engine oil, and the subsequent letters indicate the grade. The symbol for diesel engine oil is C, and the following letters from A to H are also arranged in order from low to high grade.
I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy for almost three years now, and I've always used Shell's Helix Ultra fully synthetic engine oil for maintenance. The Nissan 4S dealership recommends this brand because it's specifically designed for the Sylphy, with a viscosity of 5W-30 that suits China's climate, protecting the engine and reducing wear. I change the oil every 7,500 kilometers, and the engine runs smoothly with good fuel consumption control. An extra reminder: don't skimp by using off-brand oils, as they can easily cause problems; it's important to follow the manual's requirements. With proper maintenance, a Sylphy can last over ten years.
