What kind of engine oil does the Haval H9 use?
2 Answers
Haval H9 uses 5W40 engine oil. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. The primary function of engine oil is to reduce friction and wear on moving parts and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine. The Haval H9 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 385 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the drive mode is front four-wheel drive.
I think the Haval H9 is better suited for full synthetic engine oil, with recommended viscosities of 5W-40 or 0W-40. Having been an SUV enthusiast for over a decade, I know that rugged models like this require careful consideration when it comes to engine oil. The 5W ensures quick cold starts, preventing ignition issues in winter, while the 40 guarantees engine protection under high temperatures, reducing wear and tear. I personally prefer Shell or Mobil full synthetic oils, API SN grade or higher—higher certification means greater peace of mind. Don’t skimp and use mineral oil; over time, it accelerates carbon buildup and shortens engine life. Pay attention to oil change intervals too—around every 7,500 km for new cars, or more frequently if you frequently encounter city traffic jams. In regions with significant temperature fluctuations, 0W-40 might be the better choice. In short, follow the manual’s recommendations—don’t experiment recklessly, and you’ll stay safe and worry-free.
