What kind of engine oil does Volvo use?
1 Answers
Volvo's original engine oil brand is Castrol. The explanation of engine oil specifications and the selection of engine oil are as follows: Explanation of engine oil specifications: Engine oil is the lubricant used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives. The 'W' in the oil specification stands for winter. The smaller the number before 'W', the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable temperature. The larger the number after 'W', the higher the viscosity and the higher the applicable temperature. Selection of engine oil: Naturally aspirated engines have lower requirements for oil performance and can use mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil, while those with a higher budget can use fully synthetic oil. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more precise structure, operate in more complex environments, and have higher requirements for oil quality, requiring lubricants with better fluidity. It is best to use fully synthetic oil. Engine types: For naturally aspirated engines, mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil can be chosen. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a tighter structure, operate in harsher environments, require higher-grade lubricants, and need lubricants with better fluidity. Fully synthetic oil is the best choice.
