What kind of engine oil should be used for Nissan Sylphy maintenance?
2 Answers
For the first maintenance of the Nissan Sylphy, it is recommended to use the original ordinary engine oil. Starting from the second maintenance, you can choose the appropriate engine oil according to different driving environments. If the car is frequently used for high-speed driving, ordinary engine oil is sufficient. If it is frequently used in urban areas with stop-and-go traffic, synthetic engine oil is recommended. The following is a related introduction about the Sylphy: 1. Exterior: The front face of the Sylphy uses more curves to create an elegant shape. The U-shaped chrome trim on the front face, combined with the boomerang-style headlights on both sides, represents the latest design language of the Nissan family. 2. Interior configuration: The 2019 Sylphy has made significant progress compared to the previous model. The biggest highlight of the new Sylphy is the "Intelligent Mobility+" connected car system independently developed by Dongfeng Nissan. This system features intelligent voice control, all-time navigation, remote real-time monitoring, 24-hour entertainment, in-car Wi-Fi hotspot, and worry-free data usage. The top model is equipped with a 5-inch color driving computer screen, engine automatic start-stop system, tire pressure monitoring, lane change assist, lane departure warning, active braking, and dual-zone automatic air conditioning.
As someone who frequently researches cars, I can say there's a lot to know about maintaining the Nissan Sylphy. It's recommended to use 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil, especially in northern winters where low-temperature fluidity is crucial. Last time I saw someone in the car owners' group using 5W-30, and their fuel consumption noticeably increased by half a liter. Actually, the manual specifies prioritizing low-viscosity oil - Nissan's QR series engines are quite precision-made. Full synthetic can last 8,000 to 10,000 km, far more durable than mineral oil. Make sure to look for GF-6A or SP grade certification; brands like Shell and Mobil have specialized formulas. During maintenance, remind the technician to check the oil pan screw gasket - this often gets overlooked. If you frequently drive on highways, changing at 7,500 km is more prudent.
