What kind of engine oil should be used for the Bora Legend 1.5?
1 Answers
The dedicated engine oil model for the Volkswagen Bora Legend 1.5 is SM or higher grade 5W-40 oil, or oil that meets the VW502-00 standard. The role of engine oil: The Bora's engine operates at a relatively high power, and its high compression ratio creates a high-temperature working environment inside the engine. High-viscosity oil is used to improve the engine's operating conditions, providing cooling and lubrication. Engine oil is a crucial factor affecting the engine's performance and lifespan. Selection of engine oil viscosity grade: Generally, in winter, 5W is sufficient for most regions, while some northern areas (such as Harbin) are better off using 0W for better cold-start performance to adapt to the driving environment temperature. For high-temperature viscosity, 30 or 40 is typically used. However, if the vehicle is frequently driven in congested traffic conditions, is older, or is a heavy-duty vehicle used for long-distance transportation, the oil viscosity can be appropriately increased, such as using 0W50 oil.
