What kind of engine oil should be used for Civic 1.5T?
1 Answers
The manufacturer recommends using fully synthetic engine oil with specifications 0w-20 or 5w-30. However, if the vehicle is primarily used for city commuting, 0w20 or 5w20 engine oil can be used. For frequent aggressive driving, 0w30 or 5w30 engine oil is more suitable. The classification of engine oil types is as follows: 1. High-temperature types such as SAE20 and SAE50: The number indicates the viscosity at 100°C, with higher numbers representing higher viscosity; 2. Low-temperature types such as SAE0W and SAE25W: The 'W' indicates suitability for winter use only, with lower numbers indicating lower viscosity and better low-temperature fluidity; 3. All-season types such as SAE15W40, 10W40, and 5W50: These meet the viscosity requirements for low-temperature grades (SAE15W, 10W, 5W) and high-temperature grades (SAE40, 50), making them suitable for both winter and summer use.
