What is the most suitable engine oil for Volkswagen EA211?
1 Answers
Volkswagen EA211's original engine oil is 5W40. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction to engine oil grade standards: VW50200 is Volkswagen's own set of standards, compatible with SN-grade 5W40 oil that meets the VW50200 standard. SN is the engine oil quality grade standard set by the American Petroleum Institute (API). S stands for gasoline engines, while C represents diesel engines. The performance grades of engine oil start from A, currently up to P, so SP is the highest quality grade standard for engine oil. 2. Meaning of 5W40: 5W40 is an all-season engine oil, where 5W indicates that this oil can ensure normal engine startup at a minimum ambient temperature of -30°C. 40 means the oil's fluidity at 100°C is 14.5cst. Overall, 5W40 is still an engine oil with relatively high high-temperature viscosity, typically used only by German cars such as Volkswagen and Audi.
