1 Answers
5w30 engine oil represents the following information: 1. The meaning of the 5W-30 oil model, in 5W30, "5" indicates the low-temperature fluidity of the oil. The smaller the number, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in. 2. "W" stands for winter, and 30 represents the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius, which is 30. This number indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the value, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures. Extension: The choice of oil viscosity should not be arbitrary. It should be selected based on the recommendations in the manufacturer's "Vehicle Maintenance Manual." The oil grade can be chosen according to personal needs, vehicle model, and financial capability. However, no matter what oil is chosen, it must be replaced regularly. Generally, it is recommended to replace it every 5,000 kilometers or six months, with adjustments made based on usage conditions and environment.
