What kind of engine oil is suitable for the Fit?
1 Answers
The original factory-recommended oil for the Fit is the green can SN-0W-20 grade oil. For the new Fit, using the original green can oil is sufficient. The original blue can oil is also a cost-effective option and can be used as a replacement. It is not recommended to use the gold or purple can oils, as these have higher viscosity and are not suitable for the Fit's 1.5L engine. Of course, car owners can also choose oil brands based on their preferences. Similarly, avoid selecting oils with excessively high viscosity. Additional information: 1. For viscosity selection, in winter, 5W is generally suitable for most regions. However, in some northern areas (such as Heilongjiang), 0W is preferable for better cold-start performance to adapt to local environmental conditions. For high-temperature viscosity, 20 is typically used. However, if driving frequently in congested areas, for older vehicles, or for heavy-duty long-distance transport, it may be appropriate to increase the oil viscosity, such as using 0W30 lubricant. 2. When choosing an oil brand, if longevity is a priority, Mobil oil is a good choice. If engine cleaning capability is important, Shell oil is recommended. For strong oil film toughness, Castrol is advisable. For turbocharged engines, which are prone to carbon buildup at high speeds, Shell oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be used.
