What kind of engine oil is used for Honda Lingpai 1.8?
1 Answers
Honda Lingpai 1.8 can use original semi-synthetic engine oil. The recommended oil grade for Lingpai 1.8 is SM or SN, and the viscosity can be 0W20, 0W30, or 5W30. Engine oil is extremely important for engine operation as it serves two major functions: lubrication and heat dissipation. Therefore, the engine should never run without oil. However, adding excessive oil (beyond the upper limit of the dipstick) can have adverse effects. Precautions for using engine oil in Honda Lingpai: 1. Excessive oil can increase the rotational resistance of the crankshaft, reduce engine output power, and cause the excess oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption. The residue from burned oil (mainly carbon, which is very hard) can accumulate on the combustion chamber walls, reducing the chamber space and lowering the engine's compression ratio. It can also accelerate the wear of cylinders and pistons, thereby shortening the vehicle's lifespan. 2. When adding lubricating oil, it is best to keep the oil level slightly below the dipstick's upper mark. Additionally, factors such as oil type, season, climate, engine displacement, and technical performance should be considered. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a professional automotive maintenance center where experts can carefully assess the vehicle, select the appropriate oil, and perform the maintenance process meticulously to prevent potential faults. During vehicle maintenance, first, pour the engine cleaner directly into the oil filler port; then let the engine idle for 10-15 minutes; finally, drain the old oil along with the cleaner and replace it with new oil and a new oil filter to complete the process.
