What is the engine oil specification for the Outlander?
1 Answers
Outlander uses 5W30 engine oil. The functions of engine oil and the meaning of the letters in the oil specification are as follows: Functions of engine oil: Engine oil serves to lubricate, clean, seal, cool, cushion, and prevent rust within the engine. Meaning of the letters in the oil specification: The 'W' in the oil specification stands for 'Winter', indicating the oil's performance in cold temperatures. If an oil specification contains the letter 'W', it means the oil can be used normally in winter. The number before 'W' represents the oil's low-temperature fluidity. 0W indicates the oil can flow normally at -35°C, while 5W means it can flow normally at -30°C. The number after 'W' represents the oil's high-temperature viscosity—the higher the number, the greater the viscosity.
