What is the best engine oil for the Superb?
1 Answers
The 1.4T model of the Superb can use fully synthetic 5W30 or 0W30 engine oil, while the 1.8T and 2.0T models require fully synthetic 5W40 or 0W40 engine oil. If you want to change the engine oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell or Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both 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, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better it can maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Superb is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, and also allow 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 and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to flow out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply engine oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, generally filling about three-quarters of a bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, they should be repaired; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
