What kind of engine oil does the Vezel use?
2 Answers
The Vezel uses original engine oil with specifications of 0W20, 0W30, 5W30, and 10W30. Different specifications of engine oil cannot be mixed. Engine oil is a crucial factor affecting engine performance and lifespan. The quality of the engine oil must not only meet the requirements of the engine and exhaust purification system but also match the fuel quality. The Vezel is a compact SUV under GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4328 mm in length, 1772 mm in width, and 1605 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610 mm. In terms of power, the Vezel is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 131 HP, a maximum torque of 155 Nm, and a maximum power output of 96 kW.
I recommend using full synthetic oil with 0W-20 or 5W-30 viscosity, as per the vehicle manual's recommendation. This oil viscosity is designed for the Vezel's small-displacement engine, improving cold-start performance, reducing engine friction, and helping you save on fuel costs. Choose a high-quality brand with API certification to ensure stability across different temperatures. For example, use 0W-20 in extremely cold regions to prevent cold-engine damage, and 5W-30 in hot weather for better protection. Avoid mineral oil as it has a shorter lifespan and requires changes every 5,000 kilometers; otherwise, it may affect power response and inspection results. As a long-term maintenance habit, adjust based on your driving environment. For frequent urban short trips, 0W-20 is more efficient, while 5W-30 is better for high-speed driving to prevent overheating. In short, the right oil ensures smoother engine operation and less noise.
