What kind of engine oil is best for the Lavida 1.5 naturally aspirated engine?
1 Answers
For the Lavida 1.5 naturally aspirated engine, it is recommended to use SJ-grade mineral oil with the specification 5w40. Shell engine oil is a good choice due to its high quality. Its biggest advantage is that it is not prone to degradation, resulting in a longer oil change interval. Additionally, it performs well in terms of kinematic properties and high-temperature performance. Below are some related details: 1. Introduction to base oil: The base oil, known as polyalphaolefin (PAO), is a patented technology by ExxonMobil. It is derived from ethylene and propylene, which are separated from crude oil's gas and natural gas, and then polymerized and catalyzed using specialized equipment to produce this base oil. 2. Features of Mobil engine oil: Mobil engine oil excels in kinematic performance. Many manufacturers who choose Mobil engine oil often prioritize performance.
