What is the oil specification for the Honda Vezel?
2 Answers
Honda Vezel's oil specification is 0W20. Oil specification introduction: Letter W: The letter stands for Winter, indicating all-season oil. Number before the letter: Represents the oil's low-temperature viscosity. The smaller the number, the better the oil's fluidity at low temperatures. Number after the letter: Represents the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius, which are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. The viscosity standard affects the oil's adhesion performance at high temperatures. A higher number indicates higher viscosity. It's important to note that neither higher nor lower viscosity is necessarily better; the viscosity should be suitable for the application. Lower viscosity means better oil fluidity and less operating resistance, but thinner oil film and weaker anti-wear capability. Higher viscosity means thicker oil film, better protection, and stronger anti-wear capability, but poorer fluidity and greater operating resistance.
I've been driving my Honda Vezel for over a year, and the manual recommends using 0W-20 synthetic oil. I remember the staff emphasized this specification during the first maintenance of the new car, saying it was for fuel efficiency and engine protection. I usually check the oil dipstick myself to see if the color and level are normal, and I change the oil every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. If the wrong specification is chosen, such as using thicker oil, the engine will feel strained, and fuel consumption will skyrocket. However, there may be slight adjustments for different regions or model years, so it's best to refer to the owner's manual or consult a 4S shop. Regular maintenance can really extend the life of the car.
