What is the oil standard for the EA211 engine?
1 Answers
EA211 engine oil standard is VW50200 oil, with a viscosity grade of 5W40. The number 5 represents the viscosity at low temperatures, where a smaller number indicates better fluidity and higher cold resistance; W stands for winter, indicating suitability for winter use; 40 refers to the viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius, where a larger number indicates higher viscosity and better high-temperature resistance. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, forming an integral part of the lubricant.
