Considering fuel economy, use 0W20; if you frequently operate at high RPMs or drive aggressively, use 5W30. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil (vegetable oils are not included due to their scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic.
