What is the best engine oil for the Teana car?
2 Answers
The Teana car uses higher viscosity lubricating oils such as 15W-50, 15W-40, 20W-50, etc.; in winter, lower viscosity lubricating oils such as 5W-40, 5W-30 or 10W-30, 10W-40 are recommended. Engine oil serves multiple functions including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, friction reduction, rust prevention, and corrosion protection for the engine. The Teana is a mid-size sedan with a maximum engine horsepower of 156 HP and a maximum torque of 197 Nm, equipped with a CVT transmission. The car's dimensions are 4901mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm and a top speed of 197 km/h.
As a veteran driver with ten years of experience driving a Teana, I recommend prioritizing 0W-20 or 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. The Teana's engine is quite precise, especially the 2.0T model, and fully synthetic oil flows quickly, dissipates heat well, and provides better cold-start protection. Remember to look for the API certification mark and choose SN grade or above—reputable brands like Mobil and Shell are reliable. My own car has always used 0W-20, and even after 80,000 kilometers, the engine remains quiet with no increase in fuel consumption. Checking the dipstick monthly is crucial, especially before long trips—if the oil appears dark or thickened, it's time for a change.
