What kind of engine oil should be used for Haval H6 1.5T?
2 Answers
Haval H6 1.5T uses original factory engine oil, SL grade 10W-40 from French Total, or engine oil with CI-4 grade and 15W-40 viscosity can also be used. The Haval H6 1.5T is equipped with a turbocharged engine, so it is recommended to choose fully synthetic engine oil based on the vehicle's condition. The better the quality of the engine oil, the better the protection effect on the engine. Below is the relevant introduction about engine oil: 1. Engine oil can lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. 2. Since engine oil has a significant impact on the performance and lifespan of the engine, it should be strictly selected according to the same series, usage grade, and viscosity grade as specified in the vehicle's user manual. 3. The engine oil recommended in the vehicle manual is based on the engine's performance and the temperature conditions of the sales region, providing certain guidance for the selection of engine oil and leaving a large safety margin. It is also one of the prerequisites for warranty claims during the engine's warranty period.
I've been driving my Haval H6 1.5T for over a year now. Initially, I didn't know much about engine oil, so the 4S dealership recommended using full synthetic 5W-30, saying it's best suited for turbocharged engines. After switching, the car runs much smoother, with quieter and more powerful acceleration, and it feels more fuel-efficient than before. I've tried other brands like Shell later on, with similar results, but the viscosity must remain consistent. I also pay attention to the oil change interval, replacing it every 8,000 kilometers to prevent engine carbon buildup. During seasonal changes, I check the oil dipstick, and even in summer's high temperatures, the oil provides solid protection, avoiding overheating issues. With regular maintenance, this car remains reliable, whether commuting to work or going on trips, it never lets me down.
