What kind of engine oil does the Teana use?
2 Answers
The Teana uses 0W20 or 5W30 engine oil, which serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption and buffering. Taking the 2021 Teana as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4901mm, width 1850mm, height 1450mm, with a wheelbase of 2825mm and a fuel tank capacity of 61.3 liters. The 2021 Teana is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 197Nm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a trapezoidal control arm multi-link independent rear suspension.
My old Teana has been running for over eight years, and I've always used 5W-30 full synthetic oil for maintenance. Both the car manual and dealer recommendations specify this viscosity as the most suitable. Nissan engines require good fluidity during cold starts, and the 5W part ensures it won't freeze even in sub-zero temperatures. The 30 indicates sufficient oil film strength at high temperatures, providing top-notch anti-wear performance. I live in an area with distinct seasons—hot summers and cold winters—and this oil has never caused any issues. The engine runs quieter, and fuel consumption remains stable at around 10L/100km. When buying oil, opt for reputable brands like Shell or Mobil, preferably with API SP certification. Don’t skimp and use mineral oil, or you’ll end up with excessive carbon buildup and doubled repair costs in the long run. Check the oil level every 5,000 to 7,000 km, and follow the manual’s oil change intervals. The Teana is sturdy, but using the wrong oil drastically reduces engine lifespan.
