What kind of engine oil does the Haval H2S use?
1 Answers
Haval H2S's original factory engine oil brand is Total. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, or Castrol. The recommended oil specification for the Haval H2S in the official manual is 5W-30. Any oil that meets this specification can be used. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher number means the oil can maintain its viscosity better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in a Haval H2S is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, which also allows the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply some oil to the gasket of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.
