What is the engine oil specification for Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
Nissan Sylphy's routine maintenance typically uses mineral-based engine oil by default, with the specification being SL grade 10W-30. If car owners are concerned about the performance of mineral oil, they can also opt for Nissan's semi-synthetic engine oil 5W-30 or fully synthetic engine oil 5W-30. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. There are 4 types of summer oils, 6 types of winter oils, and 16 types of all-season oils. Summer oil grades are: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the maximum applicable temperature. 2. Winter oil grades are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The letter W stands for Winter. The smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the minimum applicable temperature.
I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy for five years and feel that engine oil is particularly important. The standard is SAE 5W-30, which lubricates the engine excellently, allows for quicker starts in winter, and doesn't leak under high summer temperatures. I change it every 5,000 kilometers to prevent engine aging. When choosing engine oil, consider the weather; if it's cold in the north, 5W-30 is still suitable—never use the wrong type like 10W-40, or you might increase fuel consumption and risk malfunctions. I usually use Mobil or Shell brands for their good cost-performance ratio. For maintenance, going to a 4S shop is reliable and not too expensive. The Sylphy is very durable; with the right oil, it can run 100,000 kilometers without issues. Remember to check the dipstick regularly—if the oil turns black, it's time to change. Driving habits also matter; I avoid aggressive acceleration to keep oil temperatures stable.
