Honda Fit's engine manufacturer recommends using 0W20 viscosity engine oil. Engine oil can be classified into the following 3 types: 1. Mineral oil: A commonly used lubricant in the market, mineral oil is inexpensive but has a shorter service life and inferior lubrication performance compared to synthetic oil. Additionally, due to incomplete removal of impurities during the refining process, mineral oil has a higher pour point, making it unsuitable for use in extremely cold regions; 2. Semi-synthetic oil: A product refined from mineral oil through hydrocracking technology, consisting of a 4:6 ratio of mineral oil to full synthetic oil; 3. Full synthetic oil: A high-grade oil product derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or crude oil gas, which undergoes complex chemical reactions such as polymerization and catalysis to form a lubricant composed of large molecules.

As a car enthusiast who often helps friends choose engine oil, my Fit has always used 0W-20 full synthetic oil. The Fit's engine has small clearances, and this thin, water-like oil can quickly lubricate every corner, reducing cold-start wear. Honda's manual recommends this viscosity, and I find that using Idemitsu or ENEOS makes the throttle feel particularly responsive. Make sure the bottle has API SP or GF-6 certification, and never use thick, old-fashioned oils like 5W-40, as they only increase fuel consumption. Nowadays, full synthetic oil is on sale for just over 200 yuan a barrel, and it's perfectly fine to change it after 8,000 kilometers. A roadside shop will charge just 50 yuan for the labor.

Can the Q5 use 92-octane gasoline?

The Q5 cannot use 92-octane gasoline. Long-term use of 92-octane gasoline may lead to reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and the risk of engine knocking. The Q5 model is required to use 95-octane gasoline. Gasoline octane rating: It represents the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane number, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane, and the appropriate gasoline octane rating should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. The Q5 perfectly combines the body design of a sports car, efficient power, and responsive handling, along with the off-road safety of an SUV, a powerful and green-efficient engine, the quattro all-wheel-drive system, agile driving mechanisms, a 7-speed dual-clutch Stronic transmission, and Audi drive select technology. These advanced technologies ensure excellent performance whether driving on highways or off-road.

How Many Kilometers Can a Small Car Engine Run?

Small car engines can run for 100,000 kilometers. At 100,000 kilometers, a major overhaul of the engine is generally required to extend its service life. Engine Maintenance Methods: Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter, maintain good crankcase ventilation, periodically clean the fuel system, regularly service the radiator, and perform fuel system maintenance and cleaning. Car engines require regular maintenance. When driving through areas with high humidity or excessive dust, it is also necessary to inspect and maintain related engine components. Engine Maintenance Precautions: Ensure sufficient coolant to lay a good foundation for engine cooling. Check if the thermostat is functioning properly. If the thermostat fails to open the main valve on time as required, it must be replaced promptly. If a replacement is not immediately available, the thermostat can be temporarily removed, but under no circumstances should a faulty thermostat be left at the water jacket outlet.
