What is the best engine oil model for Nissan Sylphy?
1 Answers
For Nissan Sylphy, the original 5W30 model engine oil is recommended. The 5W30 model oil has high viscosity, which is beneficial for forming an oil film on the engine to protect it. It offers excellent high-temperature protection and better sealing performance. Using 5W30 is sufficient to allow the engine to perform at its best. Methods for selecting engine oil: During maintenance, Nissan 4S shops usually provide three types of engine oil for Sylphy: conventional oil, synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The choice among these three mainly depends on the vehicle's driving environment. If the driving environment is good, such as frequent highway driving, conventional oil is sufficient. If the vehicle is often used in city traffic with frequent stops and starts, synthetic oil is recommended. Choose engine oil from well-known brands or large manufacturers: For example, Shell, Mobil, Castrol, Caltex, Total, BP, Valvoline, Fuchs, GS. Domestic well-known brands include Kunlun, Great Wall, and Longpan. Steps for changing engine oil: Open the engine hood (remove four clips). Open the oil cap, insert the oil extractor hose into the oil dipstick port to extract the oil. The extraction process takes about 15-20 minutes, and the used oil can be collected in a bucket. After the oil extraction is complete, use a wrench and socket to remove the old oil filter. Clean any excess oil from the contact area, then install the new oil filter. (Note: Usually, the oil filter is located on top, but for some models, it may need to be accessed from underneath the car.) After adding new oil, check the oil level using the dipstick. For the first check, wipe the dipstick clean with a tissue and reinsert it. The second time you pull out the dipstick, you can determine the oil level. The dipstick has upper and lower limit marks, and the oil level should be between these two marks for normal operation.
