What is the best engine oil for Teana?
2 Answers
For Japanese Teana, 5W-30 is a relatively moderate choice. If in extremely cold or hot environments, use 0W-40 engine oil. Below is relevant information about Teana engine oil: How to choose engine oil: There is no best engine oil, only the most suitable one for your car. Engine oil functions include lubrication, cooling, sealing, and cleaning. The quality of engine oil is determined by its high-temperature viscosity and low-temperature fluidity. 5W-30 is a relatively moderate choice; if in extremely cold or hot environments, use 0W-40 engine oil. How to choose engine oil for Japanese cars: Japanese cars generally suit engine oils with a viscosity of 20 or 30. Typically, using lower viscosity oil makes the throttle lighter, acceleration slightly faster, and fuel consumption slightly lower. Higher viscosity oil, although it may make the throttle feel heavier and increase fuel consumption slightly, offers better protection for the engine.
Teana owners should pay attention to viscosity and certification when choosing engine oil. Nissan's original recommendation is 5W-30 full synthetic oil, with API certification of at least SN grade, and SN Plus is even better. Big brands like Mobil 1 and Shell Helix Ultra are reliable, resulting in less engine noise and stable fuel consumption. My experience is not to skimp and use mineral oil, especially for turbocharged Teana models, as insufficient high-temperature protection can easily lead to carbon deposits. In northern winters, 0W-30 is smoother, while 5W-30 is sufficient in the south. Check the dipstick every 5,000 kilometers, and change it if it turns black or thin. With proper maintenance, the engine can remain quiet even after ten years of use.
