What kind of engine oil does the Haval H2 use?
2 Answers
Haval H2 uses SL-grade 10W40 semi-synthetic engine oil. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. Taking the 2018 Haval H2 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4365mm, width 1814mm, height 1710mm, wheelbase 2560mm, and a body weight of 1450kg. The 2018 Haval H2 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 210Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a long-time owner of a Haval H2, I find 5W-30 engine oil to be the most reliable choice. The owner's manual typically recommends this viscosity standard, such as API SN grade or newer oil products, which provide excellent engine protection. The 5W ensures easy cold starts in winter, while the 30 viscosity maintains stable temperature control in summer. Although synthetic oil is slightly more expensive, its wear resistance and long service life make it cost-effective in the long run, saving money and reducing breakdowns. Remember to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers along with a new oil filter to prevent sludge buildup. Major brands like Mobil or Shell are good options—stock up during promotions. If you frequently drive on steep slopes or highways, check the oil level regularly to avoid low oil causing cylinder scoring. Don't skimp on maintenance—a well-maintained engine ensures smooth driving and can even lower fuel consumption, saving you money.
