What kind of engine oil is suitable for Qidian 150g2?
2 Answers
For the Qidian 150g2 motorcycle, any engine oil with a grade above SF and viscosity ratings of 10W-40, 15W-40, or 10W-30 that is suitable for motorcycles can be used. Engine oil selection: You can categorize and choose engine oil based on winter and summer usage. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade. In summer, due to higher temperatures, there's no need to select engine oil with an excellent low-temperature viscosity grade. Functions of engine oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction in the engine, assists in cooling, provides sealing to prevent leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the vehicle. Choosing the right engine oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its service life.
I've been riding the Qidian 150G2 for several years and know that oil selection is crucial. Generally, synthetic oil is recommended, such as SAE 10W-40 brands like Shell or Castrol's motorcycle-specific oils. Don't use car engine oil because it's not suitable for the wet clutch in motorcycles, which may cause slippage or wear. The oil change interval is best at every 2,000 kilometers to ensure smooth engine operation. The 150cc engine isn't very large, so choosing a medium-viscosity oil can improve fuel efficiency and horsepower output. I often check the oil dipstick, and if the level is low, I top it up promptly to avoid cylinder damage. If you ride in cold regions, a 5W-30 variant can be used in winter for better adaptability. In short, consulting the vehicle manual is the safest bet—it usually specifies API SN-standard oil.
