What is the best engine oil for the Teana?
2 Answers
Teana is better suited for 5W-30 engine oil. Below are the methods for selecting engine oil for Teana: 1. Based on the vehicle: There is no 'best' engine oil - the most suitable one for your car is the best. 2. Based on the environment: Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. The quality of engine oil depends on its high-temperature viscosity and low-temperature fluidity. 5W-30 is a moderate choice. For extremely cold or hot environments, 0W-40 engine oil is recommended. As for brand selection, any genuine product will suffice. 3. Based on the user manual: Semi-synthetic engine oil (minimum requirement) can be used, but fully synthetic engine oil is the best option, whether it's a joint-venture or domestic brand.
I've been driving a Nissan Teana for over five years, and personally, I find 5W-30 full synthetic oil to be the most suitable choice. It has good fluidity, suitable for most weather conditions—quick starts in winter and even heat dissipation in summer, making the engine run smoother. I've used the Mobil 1 brand, which offers strong protective performance and long service life, requiring replacement every 8,000 kilometers or six months. The Teana manual also recommends this viscosity; avoid switching to other types randomly to prevent engine issues. Synthetic oil performs better in resisting high-temperature wear during high-speed driving. Regularly check the oil level to ensure it doesn't run low, and inspect the air filter during maintenance—overall, it's simple and safe to maintain.
