What kind of engine oil does the Kuga use?
1 Answers
The factory-recommended oil for the Kuga is fully synthetic Mobil 5W-30 engine oil. The 5W-30 viscosity grade has strong adaptability across most regions in China, though areas with extremely cold temperatures like Northeast China might require oil with better fluidity. Since turbochargers operate at high speeds and rely on oil lubrication, all turbocharged engines demand higher-quality engine oil. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. 5W30 refers to the SAE standard viscosity rating, indicating this is a multi-grade oil. 2. The "W" stands for WINTER, and the number before W represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures - the smaller the number, the better the cold-start performance. The number after W indicates the oil's stability at high temperatures - the larger the number, the better the high-temperature stability. 3. The smaller the number before W, the lower the oil's viscosity at low temperatures, resulting in better low-temperature fluidity and suitability for colder climates.
