What is the oil specification for the Mazda Atenza?
1 Answers
Mazda Atenza uses SN grade 0W-20 engine oil. Functions of engine oil: The primary functions of engine oil are lubrication, cleaning, and heat dissipation. By type, it can be roughly categorized into three classes: conventional, semi-synthetic, and full-synthetic. When changing oil, any oil not labeled "synthetic" is considered "conventional". Engine oil degradation period: Engine oil degrades over time. "Conventional" oil typically begins to oxidize and lose effectiveness after about 3 months of exposure to air. This means if you change your oil but don't drive for 3 months, you should change it again. Synthetic oils last about 6 to 9 months. For regular driving, oil in China generally starts to degrade after 5,000 kilometers.
