What kind of engine oil is suitable for Lavida Plus?
2 Answers
Lavida Plus is suitable for fully synthetic engine oil, it is recommended to use 5W-40 or 10W-40. Car fuel consumption: Generally, the car's onboard computer will display the average fuel consumption value on the dashboard, but it usually differs from the actual fuel consumption. Specific car fuel consumption can be calculated using a formula. Car fuel consumption precautions: Plan your route before driving, check the traffic conditions, and try to avoid roads prone to traffic jams. Maintain a steady speed while driving. Unstable driving speed can increase fuel consumption by about 6% in suburban areas and 2% in urban areas. Avoid carrying unnecessary items in the car to reduce vehicle weight.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Lavida Plus for over two years. The engine of this car works best with synthetic oils that meet the VW 502 00 or VW 504 00 specifications, such as 5W-40 viscosity, which is very reliable. From my own driving experience, 5W-40 provides more stable protection during high-speed driving in hot summers, preventing the engine from overheating and ensuring smooth power output. In colder winter weather, switching to 5W-30 makes the engine more flexible and easier to start and stop. I always use premium brands like Castrol Edge or Mobil, changing the oil every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Don’t skimp on this expense—low-quality oil can lead to excessive carbon buildup and engine knocking. Remember to check the owner’s manual for recommended oil types. Volkswagen cars have strict oil requirements, and using the wrong oil may cause oil burning or reduced power. During maintenance, also check the oil dipstick to ensure it’s neither overfilled nor underfilled, as both can affect lubrication. Using high-quality oil extends engine life and saves on repair costs.
