What is the best engine oil for Haval H1?
2 Answers
Haval H1's manufacturer recommends using the original 10W-40 mineral engine oil. Here are some methods for selecting engine oil: 1. Engine oil selection requires careful consideration, taking into account the highest and lowest temperatures in the local area, the vehicle's grade, and its condition. 2. If engine oil with excessive viscosity is selected, it will increase movement resistance and affect engine power. 3. If engine oil with insufficient viscosity is selected, it cannot guarantee lubrication quality and will exacerbate engine wear. 4. For engines that are already severely worn with larger component clearances, a higher viscosity grade engine oil can be selected to enhance the sealing performance of the components.
I've been driving a Haval H1 for seven or eight years. As a seasoned driver, I've tried various engine oils, and the best choice is 5W-30 full synthetic oil, such as Shell Helix Ultra or Great Wall Lubricant's OEM version. This oil has moderate viscosity, ensuring quick cold starts in winter below zero and no abnormal engine noises in summer heat. I buy it on Taobao, stocking up during Double 11 sales for affordable and genuine products. Change it every six months or 5,000 kilometers—don't delay too long, or degraded oil quality can damage the engine. The Haval H1 isn't a luxury car, but using good oil saves fuel and extends its lifespan. My car has run 100,000 kilometers and still feels like new. Remember to check the dipstick; top up the oil if the level is low—don't wait until the car shakes to regret it.
